1. Connect the Soundbar to your TV:

   Locate the HDMI (ARC) port on your TV. Connect one end of the included HDMI 2.0 cable to the HDMI (ARC) port on the soundbar and the other end to the HDMI (ARC) port on your TV. This connection enables audio return channel functionality, allowing your TV to send audio to the soundbar.

2. Power On Components:

   Plug the AC power cords into the soundbar, subwoofer, and each of the two surround speakers, then plug them into a power outlet. The subwoofer and surround speakers are designed to connect wirelessly to the soundbar automatically once powered on. A white light on these speakers indicates a successful connection.

3. TV Audio Settings:

   Ensure your TV's audio output is set to the HDMI (ARC) port. You may need to enable HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) or ARC functionality in your TV's settings for proper operation and remote control integration.

   Play some audio content on your TV to confirm sound is coming from the soundbar system. The system should be ready for use.
