CONNECTING THE SOUNDBAR
Look at the back of your sound source device, such as a TV, DVD/Blu-ray player, or cable box, to
identify your audio OUT ports. Choose one connection option below that fits your audio source.
You can connect several devices and switch the sound source as required.
Note: Turn off all devices while you are making connections.
CONNECTING THE AC ADAPTER
Cautions:
• Make sure that the electrical outlet matches the AC adapter’s input requirements of 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz before
connecting.
• Use only the AC adapter provided.
• Plug in the AC adapter only after all other connections have been made.
1Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN jack on the back of the soundbar.
2Plug the other end of the AC adapter into a power outlet or surge protector.
RCA connection (GOOD)
1Connect one end of the RCA audio cable to the RCA ports
on your soundbar.
2Connect the other end into the RCA audio OUTPUT ports
on your audio source device.
Note: Make sure that the cable ends match the color of the
ports.
Digital connections (BEST)
1Connect one end of the digital optical cable (not included)
to the OPTICAL jack on your soundbar.
2Connect the other end into the digital optical output port
on your audio source device.
3Change the device’s audio output to 'PCM' format (typically
found in audio settings). Refer to the documentation that
came with your audio source device for more information.
3.5 mm connection (GOOD)
1Connect one end of the RCA audio cable connectors
to your soundbar, then connect the other end to the
3.5 mm to RCA adapter (included).
2Connect the other end of the adapter to the
headphone or AUX Output on your audio source
device.

CONNECTING YOUR SOUNDBAR USING BLUETOOTH OPTIONAL
Pairing your devices
1Turn on your soundbar.
2Place your Bluetooth device within 30 ft. (10 m) of your soundbar.
3Press the (Bluetooth) button on the remote control or the (source) button on the soundbar to
select Bluetooth mode. The LED blinks blue.
4Navigate to your device’s Bluetooth settings, turn on Bluetooth, then search for available devices. For
additional information on pairing your device, refer to your devices’ documentation.
5On your Bluetooth device, select “NS-SB216” from the device list. Repeat steps 1-4 if “NS-SB216” is not
displayed.
6If a PIN code is requested, enter “0000.”
7When pairing is completed the LED lights solid blue.
Notes:
• Some devices, such as an iPhone, connect immediately after pairing so the Bluetooth indicator on your
soundbar remains on. Other devices, such as notebook computers, may ask you if you wish to connect. In this
instance, the Bluetooth indicator continues to blink until a connection is established.
• Your soundbar saves pairing information for up to eight devices. However, it can only be connected and play
content from one device at a time.
• When you turn on your soundbar, it automatically connects to the last connected device if that device is in
range. To connect to a different paired device, turn off Bluetooth or unpair from the currently paired device
and manually connect to the other paired device.
Disconnecting your devices
• Turn off the Bluetooth function on your device.
Note: For more information about using Bluetooth, see the online User Guide.

properly.

source.
