Setup and Installation

Placement

Place the sound bar on a stable, flat surface directly in front of your TV. The slim design allows it to fit discreetly under most televisions. Position the wired subwoofer near the sound bar, ensuring the cable can reach the 'SUB' port on the sound bar.

Connecting the Subwoofer

Connect the wired subwoofer to the 'SUB' port on the back of the sound bar using the provided cable.

Power Connection

Connect the power adapter to the 'DC IN' port on the sound bar, then plug the adapter into a wall outlet.

Audio Connections

Choose one of the following methods to connect the sound bar to your TV or other audio source:

1. Optical Connection (Recommended for TV):

   Use the provided optical cable to connect the 'OPTICAL' port on the sound bar to the Optical Digital Audio Out port on your TV. Ensure protective caps are removed from the cable ends before plugging in.

   Important TV Audio Settings for Optical:

   • Navigate to your TV's audio settings.
   • Change the audio output to "Optical" or "External Speaker".
   • Set the audio format to "PCM" or "Stereo Sound".
   • Disable "Dolby" and "DTS" on your TV and any streaming applications (e.g., Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, YouTube), as the sound bar does not support these formats.
2. Bluetooth 5.3 Connection:

   Power on the sound bar. Press the 'BT' button on the remote or the sound bar's control panel to switch to Bluetooth mode. The display will show "BT". On your device (smartphone, tablet, etc.), enable Bluetooth and search for "S100". Select it to pair. Once connected, the sound bar will indicate successful pairing.

3. AUX Connection:

   Use the provided 3.5mm audio cable to connect the 'AUX' port on the sound bar to the 3.5mm audio output (headphone jack) on your TV or device. Select AUX input on the sound bar. Note: The AUX port cannot be used as a headphone jack for output.

4. USB Connection:

   Insert a USB flash drive (U disk) containing audio files into the 'USB' port on the sound bar. The sound bar will automatically switch to USB mode and begin playing. Note: The USB interface is only suitable for playing audio from a U disk and updating firmware; it cannot supply power to the sound bar.
