Setup
1. Placement

Dedicated rear speakers are positioned to provide true surround sound, immersing the listener in audio.
4. Connecting to Your TV

HDMI eARC (Recommended)
For the best audio quality and control, connect the soundbar to your TV's HDMI eARC port using the provided HDMI cable. This allows for two-way communication, enabling TV remote control of the soundbar.
Optical
If your TV does not have an HDMI eARC port, use the included optical cable to connect the soundbar to your TV's optical audio output.
Bluetooth
For wireless audio streaming from your TV (if supported) or other Bluetooth-enabled devices, pair the soundbar via Bluetooth.
The back panel of the soundbar features multiple connectivity options, including HDMI eARC, Optical, AUX, USB, and Coaxial inputs.
