POWER SUPPLY
USING THE AC ADAPTER
Using an AC adapter other than the one supplied with the unit may damage the unit.
Caution:
• Before use, ensure the rated voltage of the adapter matches your local voltage.
• The included AC adapter is for use with this unit only. Do not use it with other equipment.
• If you are not going to use the unit for a long time, disconnect the AC adapter from the wall outlet.
• Whenever the AC adapter is plugged in to a wall outlet, the AC adapter will draw some power, even
when the Sound Bar is turned off.
USING THE REMOTE CONTROL
• Point the remote control at the REMOTE SENSOR located on the unit (see Front Panel illustration for
precise location).
• When there is a strong ambient light source, the performance of the infrared REMOTE SENSOR may be
degraded, causing unreliable operation.
• The recommended effective distance for remote operation is about 16 feet (5 meters).
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When the batteries become weak, the operating distance of the remote control is greatly reduced and you
will need to replace them.
Notes:
• If the remote control is not going to be used for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid corrosion
damage caused by battery leakage.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix ALKALINE, standard (CARBON-ZINC) or rechargeable
(NICKEL-CADMIUM) batteries.
• Always remove batteries as soon as they become weak.
• Weak batteries can leak and severely damage the remote control.
• WARNING: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. batteries may explode or leak.
CAUTION:
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
TOOLS NEEDED: 1) Electric drill with 1/4” bit; 2) Phillips-head (cross style) screwdriver.
STEP 1
If your cabinet does NOT have an overhang:
a) Place the Mounting Template in the desired
location inside or underneath the cabinet
(whichever has less obstructions, and will be
easier for you to reach to drill holes), flush with
the front edge of the cabinet and tape it down.
Go to STEP 2.
If your cabinet DOES have an overhang:
a) Measure the thickness “T” of the cabinet
overhang (see Figure 1).
STEP 3
If your cabinet does NOT have an overhang:
a) Eight screws are included with this unit, but you
will only need four of them. Select the screw
length which will go completely through your
cabinet bottom, and provide at least 3/8” of
thread to screw into the main unit.
b) Insert the four selected screws through each
hole from the inside of the cabinet going
down (see Figure4).
b) Fold the Mounting Template along the guideline
that is closest to the thickness of your cabinet
overhang.
c) Tape Mounting Template to the underside of the
cabinet with the folded portion of the Mounting
Template flush up against the cabinet overhang
(see Figure 2). Go to STEP 2.
STEP 2
Use an electric drill with a ¼” drill bit (not included)
to drill all four holes marked on the Mounting
Template (see Figure 3). To reduce splintering,
place a small piece of masking tape over each
hole location before drilling. Go to STEP 3.

6
c) Hold the unit up against the bottom of the
cabinet, and align the four holes on the top of
the unit with the screws. Partially tighten each
screw, but do not fully tighten the screws until
all of them have been started.
d) Gently tighten each screw until they are
firmly holding the unit in place.
If your cabinet DOES have an overhang:
a) Four screws are included with this unit. Make
sure the screws will go completely through
your cabinet bottom, and extend at least 3/8”
past the bottom of your cabinet overhang.
b) This unit includes two sets of four spacers of
different length. The spacers can be put together
to form longer spacers to accommodate various
cabinet overhang thicknesses. Determine the
best combination of spacers which is equal to
or longer than the cabinet overhang thickness.
c) Insert the four selected screws through each
hole from the inside of the cabinet going down
(see Figure 5).
d) Hold each screw head down and push the unit
and spacers onto the screws, then hold the unit
up until spacers are firmly against the bottom of
the cabinet (and fully nested within each other if
you are using multiple spacers for each screw).
e) Partially tighten each screw, but do not fully
tighten the screws until all of them have been
started (see Figure 6).
f) Gently tighten each screw until they are firmly
holding the unit in place. The top front edge of
the unit should clear the overhang.
Mounting Suggestions
1) If your cabinet has obstructions inside it which
prevent you from using the template, cut out the
corresponding area on the template, but do NOT
cut out or through the screw holes.
2) If your cabinet has obstructions underneath it,
which will interfere with the mounting of the
unit, remove the obstruction before mounting
the unit, or find another location to mount the
unit.
3) It is recommended that you wear safety glasses
while drilling to prevent eye injuries.
4) For wood cabinets, you may want to mark the
hole locations with a nail, pressed gently but
firmly into the wood so that a slight impression
is made. This will also help keep the drill bit
centered in the right location.
5) Hold the drill firmly against the cabinet to keep
the drill from “walking”.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, DO
NOT PLACE ANY HEATING OR COOKING
APPARATUS BENEATH THIS UNIT.
CAUTION
