Source Connections

Analog: Use the supplied stereo audio cable to connect the soundbar’s Source 1 (analog) input to your TV’s stereo audio output. If your TV has two sets of audio output jacks, use the set that has a fixed (not variable) output level. This will let you turn your TV’s speakers all the way off while the TV still supplies a constant audio signal to the soundbar.

Digital: If your DVD player, cable tuner or satellite tuner have coaxial or optical digital outputs, you can use the supplied optical digital audio cable and a coaxial digital audio cable (not supplied) to connect them to the soundbar’s Optical and Coaxial digital inputs.

NOTE: If your DVD player, cable tuner or satellite tuner does not have a coaxial digital output, you can connect its analog audio output to your TV. The TV will send its audio signal to the soundbar through the analog connection described above.
