3. Power Connection:
   Connect the power cords to the soundbar and subwoofer, then plug them into a wall outlet.

5.3 Wireless Subwoofer Pairing

The subwoofer should automatically pair with the soundbar upon powering on. If pairing fails:

1. Ensure both the soundbar and subwoofer are powered on.
2. Press and hold the Pairing button on the rear of the subwoofer until the LED indicator flashes rapidly.
