INSTALLATION
Getting started
Soundbar placement
Where to locate Soundbar
Either mount the soundbar on a flat horizontal surface centered in front of the TV or surface wall mount
the soundbar on the wall via the key hole slots. Use proper wall anchors to support the weight of the
soundbar.
Where to locate subwoofer
Install the wireless subwoofer preferably near the front wall next to an electrical outlet. The power cord
is the only wire needed for hook-up. Corner placement will give an added bass boost.

• Usinganaloginputsistheeasiestmannertoconnectsourceequipmenttothesoundbar.
In most instances (check the manufacturer’s manual) you can connect all source equipment to a
television using HDMI, digital coax, digital optical or RCA connections and the 3.5mm or RCA
output of the TV will be an analog 2 channel signal. No menu changes on source equipment will
be necessary. If you are having trouble using the optical or coax digital inputs on the soundbar
use one of the analog inputs. They are very low noise and very high quality, in most instances it
is difficult to notice a difference in sound quality.
Making connections
Caution: All connections and switching should be done with the AC power switched OFF.
The final connection should be the power cords.
