Choose the appropriate connection method for your audio source:

• HDMI ARC: Connect an HDMI ARC cable from your TV's HDMI ARC port to the HDMI ARC input on the subwoofer. This is recommended for high-quality audio from your TV.
• Optical: Connect an optical cable from your TV or other device's optical output to the Optical input on the subwoofer.
• Coaxial: Connect a coaxial cable from your TV or other device's coaxial output to the Coaxial input on the subwoofer.
