CONNECTING THE SOUNDBAR
Look at the back of your 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 ts your audio source. You can connect
several devices and switch the sound source as needed.
Caution: Turn o or unplug all devices while you are making connections.
Note: If you mounted your soundbar on a wall, you must use the included right-angle cable connectors for the AUX IN or
RCA cable 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.
1 Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN jack
on the back of the soundbar.
2 Plug the other end of the AC adapter into
a power outlet or surge protector.
RCA connection (GOOD)

audio cable to your soundbar.
2 Connect the other end of the RCA audio cable into the Audio
Output ports on your audio source device.

• Newer TVs may not have RCA Audio Output ports. If your TV is
newer, you may need to use a digital connection or a 3.5 mm
connection.
Digital connection (BEST)

to your soundbar.
2 Connect the other end into the Digital Optical Output
port on your audio source device.

(typically found in Audio Settings). Refer to the
