- Optical:
Connect an optical audio cable from the OPTICAL input on your soundbar to the optical digital audio output on your TV or other audio source.
- AUX:
Connect a 3.5mm audio cable from the AUX input on your soundbar to the headphone jack or audio output of your device (e.g., smartphone, MP3 player).
- Power Connection:
Connect the power cables to the soundbar and subwoofer, then plug them into a wall outlet (AC 220-240V, 50Hz).
The subwoofer will automatically pair with the soundbar once both are powered on. A blue indicator light on the subwoofer will confirm a successful connection.
