2.2 Connecting the Soundbar and Subwoofer

The soundbar and subwoofer are designed for easy, wireless connection. The subwoofer is pre-paired at the factory.

1. Assemble the Soundbar: If your soundbar is in two parts, align the joints and twist to connect them securely. Ensure this is done before powering up to avoid electric shock.
2. Connect Soundbar Power: Plug the soundbar power adapter into the 'DC IN' port on the soundbar, then connect it to a power outlet.
3. Connect Subwoofer Power: Plug the subwoofer power cord into the 'AC IN' port on the subwoofer, then connect it to a power outlet.

If there is no sound from the subwoofer, you may need to re-pair it with the soundbar:

• Press and hold the "sub pair" button on the remote control and the button on the subwoofer simultaneously for about 5 seconds. The subwoofer's indicator light will remain on once successfully paired.

2.4 Connecting to Your TV

The soundbar offers multiple connection options for your TV. Choose the method that best suits your TV's capabilities.

HDMI ARC Connection (Preferred)

2. Remove the protective caps from the digital optical cable (not included).
3. Insert one end of the optical cable into your TV's Optical Out port.
4. Insert the other end of the optical cable into the "OPTICAL" port on the soundbar. Firmly push until you hear or feel a click.
5. On your TV, navigate to Settings → Sound → Sound Output and select Optical.
