• Soundbar: Place the soundbar centrally below your television. Ensure it is on a stable, flat surface or securely wall-mounted.
• Subwoofer: Position the subwoofer on the floor, preferably in a corner or near a wall, to enhance bass response. Avoid placing it directly against a wall to prevent muffled sound.
• Wireless Satellite Speakers: Place the two wireless satellite speakers behind your listening position, one on the left and one on the right, facing towards the center of the room. Ensure they are within range of the soundbar for wireless connection.

• Optical: Connect an optical cable (not included) from the Optical OUT port on your TV or audio source to the Optical IN port on the soundbar.
• AUX: Use the provided 3.5mm AUX cable to connect the soundbar to the headphone jack or AUX output of your device (e.g., smartphone, laptop, TV without ARC/Optical).
