Connecting to the TV
Method 1: Optical / Coaxial Connection
Use an optical cable (not included) or 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.
After the connection is completed,
1. Press on the unit or on the remote control to switch the unit on.
2. Press SOURCE on the unit or on the remote control repeatedly to select OPTICAL or COAXIAL mode.
The unit may not be able to decode all digital audio formats from the input source. In this case, the unit will mute. This is NOT a defect. Ensure that the audio setting of
the input source (e.g. TV, game console, DVD player, etc.) is set to PCM (Refer to the user manual of the input source device for its audio setting details) with Optical/
Coaxial input.
This section involves various methods of connecting the product to other external components. Ensure all audio connections of the unit are connected before
connecting to the mains power socket.

Method 2: HDMI Hub Connection
Using Your Soundbar 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+/VOL– and MUTE) of the soundbar
witht 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.
Use this method to connect all your devices into your TV.
1. Connect an HDMI cable (not included) from your soundbar’s
HDMI OUT (ARC) socket to the HDMI (ARC) socket on your ARC-
compliant TV.
2. After connection, press button on the unit or on the remote
control to switch the unit on.
3. Press SOURCE on the unit or on the remote control repeatedly to
select ARC to play audio from your input device.
• 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.
