CONNECTING THE SOUNDBAR

Look at the back of your source device, such as a TV, DVD/Blu-ray player, or cable box, to identify your 
audio OUT ports. Choose one connection option below that fits your audio source. You can connect 
several devices and switch the sound source as needed.

Caution:

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

Note:

 If you mounted your soundbar on a wall, you must use the included right-angle cable connectors for the AUX IN or 

RCA cable connections.

CONNECTING THE AC ADAPTER

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.

1

  Connect the AC adapter to the 

DC IN

 jack 

on the back of the soundbar.

2

  Plug the other end of the AC adapter into 

a power outlet or surge protector.

RCA connection (GOOD)

   Connect the right-angled connectors of the 

included RCA audio cable to your soundbar.

2

  Connect the other end of the RCA audio cable 

into the 

Audio Output 

ports on your audio

Note:

 Make sure that the cable ends match the color of 

the ports.

CONNECTING YOUR SOUNDBAR USING BLUETOOTH (OPTIONAL)

Pairing your devices

1

  Turn on your soundbar.

2

  Place your Bluetooth device within 30 ft. (10 m) of your soundbar.

3

 Select 

Bluetooth 

as the input source by pressing the        (source) button on the remote control or the 

soundbar. The blue Bluetooth indicator on the soundbar blinks slowly.

4

  Navigate to your device’s Bluetooth settings, turn on Bluetooth, then search for available devices. For 

additional information on pairing your device, refer to your device’s documentation.

5

  On your Bluetooth device, select “NS-HSB318” from the device list. Repeat steps 3-4 if “NS-HSB318” is 

not displayed.

6

  If a PIN code is requested, enter “0000.”

7

  When pairing is completed the Bluetooth indicator on the top of your soundbar lights solid blue.

Notes: 

• 

Some devices, such as an iPhone, connect immediately after pairing, other devices, such as notebook computers, may ask 
you if you wish to connect. In this instance, the Bluetooth indicator continues to blink until a connection is established.

• 

When you turn on your soundbar, it automatically connects to the last connected device if that device is in range. To 
connect to a different paired device, turn off Bluetooth or unpair from the currently paired device and manually connect 
to the other paired device.

• 

When a call is received while playing music through a phone, the music stops automatically.

• 

When the call ends, depending on the setting of your phone, the current track may resume playback.

Disconnecting your devices

• 

Turn off the Bluetooth function on your device.
