Subwoofer Output connector:
If you are using a powered subwoofer
(not supplied) with your soundbar, connect it here.
Note:
This
connector outputs a low-pass filtered signal, so connect it to an input
on your subwoofer that bypasses the subwoofer’s built-in crossover
network. Consult your subwoofer’s owner’s manual for instructions
about connections and adjustments.
EQ switch:
Use this switch to adjust the soundbar’s bass 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.
Optical Input connector (digital):
If your TV, disc player or cable/
satellite tuner has an optical digital output, use the included optical
cable to connect it here.
NOTE: You can connect different source components to the analog and
digital connections.
Aux Input connection (analog):
Use the included stereo 3.5mm to
stereo RCA audio cable to connect the stereo analog outputs of your
TV, disc player or cable/satellite tuner here.
Power switch:
Set this switch to the “On” position to activate the
soundbar. In normal operation, this switch will be left in the “On”
position. See
Turning the Soundbar On and Off, on page 5, for more
information.
Power Cord connector:
Connect the included power cord here. See
Power Connections, on page 5, for more information.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect the power cord to an AC outlet until you
have made and verified all other connections.
If you will not be using the soundbar for an extended period – for
instance, if you’re going on vacation – set the Power switch to the “Off”
position.
