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.
HDMI
®
Input connectors:
HDMI connections transmit digital audio
and video signals between devices. If you have source devices with
HDMI connectors, using them will provide the best possible audio and
video performance quality.
HDMI ARC TV Out connector:
If your TV has an HDMI input, use an
HDMI cable (not supplied) to connect it to the soundbar's HDMI ARC
TV Out connector. The soundbar will pass video from source devices
connected to its HDMI Input connectors, along with its own on-screen
information display to the TV. If your TV is equipped with the HDMI
Audio Return Channel (ARC) Function, you can feed its sound to the
soundbar via the HDMI ARC TV Out connection, and it will not require
additional audio connections to the soundbar. The ARC signal is active
when the HDMI TV source is selected.
Pairing button and LED:
Press the Pairing button to initiate wireless
pairing between the soundbar and the wireless subwoofer. See
Pairing
the Units for Wireless Operation,
on page 6, for more information.
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.
Aux Input connection:
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.
Optical Input connector:
If your TV, disc player or cable/satellite tuner
has an optical digital output, use the included optical cable to connect
it here.
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 “0”
(off) position.
