HOW TO CONNECT YOUR BAR

This is really easy too. You likely have many sources for your
audio signal: your TV, your DVD player, or a cable/satellite box.
The bar is able to accept audio from up to three different sources.
The simplest approach is to connect the optical audio output of
your TV to the optical input on the back of the bar. This method
will provide the highest quality audio regardless of whether you
are watching TV or watching your favorite DVD. 

If your TV does not have an optical output, you can use the optical
output from your DVD player or your cable/satellite box to connect
to the optical input on the bar. Then simply use the other bar
inputs for your other audio sources.

CONNECTING THE BAR AND WIRELESS SUBWOOFER

The SurroundBar 6000 bar and wireless subwoofer come 
from the factory preset to work together. If the wireless 
subwoofer stops receiving an audio signal, follow these 
instructions to re-establish the connection. 

1.

Turn off the subwoofer’s AC Mains switch.

2.

Press and hold the SYNC button on the back 
of the bar for three (3) seconds.

3.

The LED on the back of the bar will blink, 
indicating that the bar and the subwoofer 
are ready to be connected.

4.

Turn on the subwoofer’s AC Mains switch. When 
the subwoofer LED turns solid green the bar 
and subwoofer are connected and ready to use.

HOW TO CONNECT YOUR SUBWOOFER

Your subwoofer receives a wireless audio signal from the bar, 
so all you need to do is plug in the power cord and make 
sure the main power switch is ON.

WHERE TO LOCATE YOUR BAR 
FOR THE BEST SOUND

It’s easy. The bar comes with rubber feet already attached, 
so it will sit securely on any flat surface. Just center the bar 
under your TV screen. If your TV is housed in a media center, 
you can place   the bar above the TV. 

If your TV is wall mounted, the bar can mount right beneath 
it. The bar has built-in keyhole slots that make it easy.

Note:

The rubber feet are detachable and may be removed 

entirely (for wall-mounting the bar) or moved along the bottom
surface of the bar, depending upon your installation. 

WHERE TO LOCATE YOUR SUBWOOFER 
FOR THE BEST SOUND

Your wireless subwoofer is really easy to place and can 
go just about anywhere in the room. Plus you don’t have 
to worry about connecting wires, because the only wire 
you have to plug in is the power cord. And that’s it. 

Here’s a little trick:

If you place

your subwoofer in a corner of
your room, it will reinforce the
subwoofer’s output, making it
sound louder.

Note:

If you wall mount your SurroundBar, ensure that your wall

anchors secure properly into the wall and that they can bear the
weight of the SurroundBar, which is 4.7 lbs (2.13 kg).
