Setup Guide

1. Power Connection

Connect the power adapter to the DC IN port on the soundbar and then plug the adapter into a wall outlet.

2. Optical Cable Connection (Recommended for best audio quality)

For optimal audio quality, connect your soundbar to your TV using the optical cable. Ensure the optical cable is not bent or kinked to prevent damage.

After connecting the optical cable, turn on the soundbar and press and hold the OPT button on the remote control until the first LED light on the soundbar turns blue. This indicates Optical mode is active.

Important: You must set your TV's audio output format to PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) for the optical connection to work correctly. Navigate to your TV's audio settings and select PCM as the digital audio output format.

3. RCA Cable Connection

If your TV does not have an optical output, you can use an RCA cable. The package includes a 3.5mm to 2-Male RCA cable, primarily for connecting to computers or laptops. For TV connection, you may need to purchase a 2-Male to 2-Male RCA cable separately. Note that optical connection generally provides better sound quality than RCA.

After connecting the RCA cable, turn on the soundbar and press and hold the AUX button on the remote control until the fifth LED light on the soundbar turns blue. This indicates AUX mode is active. Ensure your TV's audio output is set to RCA or Analog Out.

4. Bluetooth Connection

To connect via Bluetooth, press the BT button on the remote control or the soundbar. The LED indicator will flash, indicating pairing mode. On your device (smartphone, tablet, etc.), search for "SAKOBS Soundbar" in the Bluetooth settings and select it to pair. Once connected, the LED indicator will turn solid blue.
