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.
Optical Input connector (digital): If your TV, disc player or cable/
satellite tuner has an optical digital output, use the included optical
cable to connect it here.
NOTE: You can connect different source components to the analog and
digital connections.
Aux Input connection (analog): 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.
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.
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 “Off”
position.

SOUNDBAR PLACEMENT
PLACING THE SOUNDBAR ON A TABLE
If your TV is placed on a table, you can place the soundbar on the table
directly in front of the TV stand, centered with the TV screen. As long
as the surface of the table is flat, the soundbar will rest on its rubber
bumpers.

Rear-Panel Controls and Connections, on page 2.
WALL-MOUNTING THE SOUNDBAR
If your TV is attached to a wall, you can use the included wall-mount
bracket to mount the soundbar on the wall directly below the TV
screen.
1. Determine the location for the soundbar on the wall. Make sure that
the top of the soundbar will not block your view of the TV screen
when it is mounted on the wall.
2. Hold the bracket against the wall as a template and mark the
locations of the soundbar wall-mount bracket holes on the wall. The
three holes should be evenly spaced 7-1/16" (18cm) apart, and the
bracket slots are designed to accept 4mm screws. Make sure that
the holes are at the same height. See the illustration below.
Mark Three Bracket Hole Locations
7-1/16" (18cm) Apart
3. Making sure that the bracket’s flat side is against the wall, attach
the wall-mount bracket to the wall at the locations you marked,
using hardware that is appropriate for the wall’s construction and
materials. Note that the soundbar weighs 7.5 lb (3.4kg). Be sure to
use hardware that can support this weight.
4. After reading the Connections section on page 4, connect all cables
to the soundbar.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT plug the soundbar’s power cord into an AC
outlet at this time.

Panel Controls and Connections, on page 2.
5. Attach the soundbar to the bracket by sliding the bracket’s upper
tabs into the slots on the back of the soundbar. The soundbar’s slots
allow you to adjust the soundbar’s angle on the wall to ensure that it
is level.

CONNECTIONS
SOURCE CONNECTIONS
Analog: Use the supplied stereo audio cable to connect the soundbar’s
Aux (analog) input to your TV’s stereo audio output. If your TV has two
sets of audio output jacks, use the set that has a fixed (not variable)
output level. This will let you turn your TV’s speakers all the way off
while the TV still supplies a constant audio signal to the soundbar.
Digital: If your disc player, cable tuner or satellite tuner has an optical
digital output, you can use the supplied optical digital audio cable to
connect it to the soundbar’s Optical (digital) input.
NOTE: If your disc player, cable tuner or satellite tuner does not have an
optical digital output, you can connect its analog audio output to your
TV. The TV will send its audio signal to the soundbar through the analog
connection described above.

surround-sound experience for anyone sitting in front of and several
feet away from the soundbar. Although it is particularly effective when
watching movies, you can also try the HARMAN Display Surround setting
for music.
