• AUX: Connect the 3.5mm AUX cable from the sound bar's AUX port to your TV's or device's 3.5mm audio output.
• Bluetooth: For wireless connection, enable Bluetooth on your device and pair with the sound bar (refer to Operating Instructions for details).

TV Audio Output Setting: For ARC and Optical connections, it is crucial to set your TV's audio output format to PCM. This setting is typically found in your TV's audio or sound settings menu.
