Connecting to the TV

Method 1: Optical / Coaxial Connection
Use an optical cable (not included) / coaxial cable (included) to connect the soundbar’s OPTICAL / COAXIAL socket to the OPTICAL OUT / 

COAXIAL OUT socket of the external device. The simplest option is to connect your soundbar directly to your TV. If you connect the soundbar 

to another external device (e.g. Blu-Ray player), you will hear the sound from that device through the soundbar.
Press   on the unit or remote control and then press SOURCE repeatedly to select Optical or Coaxial mode.

•  If there is no sound output, the display will show “PLEASE CHANGE YOUR SOURCE DEVICE TO PCM MODE UNDER AUDIO OUTPUT SETTING”. Ensure the 

audio setting of the input source (e.g. TV, games console, DVD player, etc.) is set to PCM or Dolby Digital Signal (Refer to the user manual of the input source 

device for its audio setting details) with optical / coaxial output.

•  Before connecting the optical cable, remove the protective cap of the OPTICAL socket.

Ensure the unit is disconnected from the mains socket before connecting it to other devices.

Method 2: HDMI Hub Connection
Using Your TV as a hub
The ARC (Audio Return Channel) function allows sound to travel to and 

from your ARC-compliant TV to your soundbar through a single HDMI 

connection. To enjoy the ARC function, please ensure that your TV is both 

HDMI-CEC and ARC compliant and set up accordingly. When correctly set 

up, the CEC feature allows you to adjust the volume output (VOL +/ and 

MUTE) of the soundbar with the TV remote control. When you switch your 

TV on/off with your remote control, you soundbar will also be switched 

on/off. Be patient that it might take a few seconds for your TV to tell your 

Soundbar to switch on or off.

•  Ensure to use an HDMI cables that can support the ARC function.
•  HDMI-CEC will be called different names by different manufacturers 

– please refer to your owner’s manual for details on setting up 

HDMI-CEC and ARC.

•  While using an HDMI cable for ARC function, CEC (Consumer 

Electronics Control) provides interoperability between the unit 

and various devices (e.g. TV). However, this unit is not guaranteed 

to fully operate with all HDMI-CEC enabled devices. This is NOT a 

defect.

Use this method to connect all your devices into your TV.
Connect an HDMI cable (not included) from your soundbar’s HDMI (ARC) 

socket to the HDMI (ARC) socket on your ARC-compliant TV.
After connection, press SOURCE on the unit or remote control repeatedly to 

select TV ARC to play audio from your input device.
