3. Connect the red RCA cable to the "SR" (Surround Right) port on the subwoofer and the corresponding input on the other surround speaker.
4. Connect the subwoofer power cable to a power outlet.

The Poseidon D60 offers multiple connection options for your TV. HDMI eARC is the preferred method for the highest quality audio, especially for Dolby Atmos content.

HDMI eARC Connection (Preferred)

4. Connect the soundbar's power adapter to the "DC IN" port on the soundbar and then to a power outlet.
5. On your TV, navigate to the sound settings and select the HDMI eARC input for audio output. You may also need to enable Dolby Atmos compatibility in your TV's expert sound settings if available.

AUX Connection (Good)
