CONNECT THE SOUNDBAR

Choose one connection option below that fits your audio source device (e.g., TV, projector, 
DVD/Blu-ray player, gaming console etc.).

CAUTION:

 Turn off or unplug all devices while you are making connections.

NOTE:

 If you have multiple devices connected to a TV or projector, connecting directly to the TV or projector will ensure 

audio plays through your soundbar from all of your devices.

CAUTIONS: 

• 

Make sure that the electrical outlet matches the AC adapter’s input requirements of 100-240 V, 

 

50/60 Hz before connecting.

Use only the AC adapter provided.

• 

Plug in the AC adapter only after all other connections have been made.
