Power Input:

 Connect the included power cord here. See the 

“Power Connections” section for more information.

Optical:

 If your TV, disc player or cable/satellite tuner has an 

optical digital output, use the included optical cable to connect it 
here.

Aux:

 Use a 3.5mm audio cable to connect the stereo analog 

outputs of your TV, disc player or cable/satellite tuner here.

HDMI 1/2/3: 

HDMI connections transmit digital audio and video 

signals between devices. If you have source devices with HDMI 
connectors, using them will provide the best possible audio and 
video performance quality.

HDMI TV:

 If your TV has an HDMI input, use the provided 

HDMI cable to connect it to the soundbar’s HDMI ARC TV Out 
connector. The soundbar will pass video from source devices 
connected to its HDMI Input connectors. If your TV is equipped 
with the HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC) Function, you 
can feed its sound to the soundbar via the HDMI ARC TV Out 
connection, and it will not require additional audio connections to 
the soundbar. The ARC signal is active when the HDMI TV source 
is selected.) 

Subwoofer Pairing Button: 

Press the Pairing button to 

initiate wireless pairing between the soundbar and the wireless 
subwoofer. See the “Pairing the Units for Wireless Operation” 
section for more information.

Wall-Mount/Table-Mount EQ Switch: 

Use this switch to 

adjust the soundbar’s equalization (EQ) for either wall or table 
mounting. If you’re mounting the soundbar on a wall with the 
included wall-mount bracket, set the EQ switch to the “Wall” 
position for the most natural-sounding bass performance. If you 
are placing the soundbar on a table, set the EQ switch to the 
“Table” position for the most natural-sounding bass performance.

Software: 

The USB connection is for manual software updates 

only. If a new software update is released, JBL will notify you if 
your product is registered at www.JBL.com

IMPORTANT: Do not connect the power cord to an 
AC outlet until you have made and verified all other 
connections.
