HDMI In 1/2/3

: If any of your source devices have HdMI connectors, connect them 

to the soundbar’s HdMI In 1/2/3 connectors for the best possible video and audio 
performance quality. Since the HdMI cable carries both digital video and digital audio 
signals, you do not have to make any additional audio connections for source devices 
you connect via HdMI connectors.

NOTE: The SABRE 35 uses micro HDMI to HDMI connector and you have to 

purchase micro HDMI cables as these are not provided with SB35.
Aux In and Optical In connections

: If your tV and/or source devices do not have 

HdMI connections, you can use the supplied audio cable and/or optical cable to connect 
your tV and one source device to the SABRE SB35’s Aux In and/or Optical In connectors, 
respectively.

Power Connections

After you have made and verified all of the source connections above:

1.  Connect the dC power supply to the soundbar’s power 

connection. then plug the supplied AC cord into the dC power 
supply and into an active, unswitched AC outlet..

IMPORTANT: DO NOT plug this cord into the accessory outlets found on some 

audio components.

: the SABRE SB35 has a signal detector that will automatically turn the 

unit On when it senses an audio signal on HdMI inputs using CEC command (compatible 
product and/or television) or a Bluetooth streaming. the auto turn-on mode is  activated 
for analog or optical inputs only when the SABRE SB35 goes in auto Standby on sensing 
the same audio input signal.

Auto turn-off

: the SABRE SB35 will automatically enter Standby mode if no audio 

signal is detected at any of its Source input connections for approximately 10 minutes. 
If you have programmed the SABRE SB35 to respond to the On and OFF commands of 
your tV remote, you can manually put the SABRE SB35 into the Standby mode without  
pressing the power button.

time, or if you will not be using the system for an extended period, we 

recommend that you unplug from the AC outlet.
