Soundbar Rear-Panel Controls and Connections

Wireless Code Switch: Selects between four different channels for the wireless subwoofer signal.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to set the subwoofer’s Wireless Code switch to the same channel that you set the soundbar’s Wireless Code switch. See Wireless Code Switches, on page 10, for more information.

EQ Switch: This switch adjusts the soundbar’s bass for either wall or table mounting. If you’re mounting the soundbar on a wall with the included wall-mount brackets, set this switch to the Wall position for the most natural-sounding bass performance. If you are placing the soundbar on a table, set the EQ switch to the Table position for the most natural-sounding bass performance.

Trim Switch: This switch adjusts the soundbar’s input sensitivity so it will work with TVs that have different audio signal output levels. See Soundbar Trim Switch, on page 10, for more information.

Source 1 Connection (analog): Use the included stereo audio cable to connect the stereo analog outputs of your TV, DVD player or cable/satellite tuner here.

Source 2 Connection (digital): If your TV, DVD player or cable/satellite tuner has a coaxial digital output, you can connect it here.

NOTE: If you connect your TV or another component to the soundbar’s Source 1 connection, you can connect a different component to the Source 2 connection.

Power Connection: Connect the included DC power supply here. See Power Connections, on page 8, for more information.

IMPORTANT: Do not connect the power supply’s AC cord to an AC outlet until you have made and verified all connections.

Power Switch: Set this switch to the On position (press the switch’s white dot) to activate the soundbar. In normal operation, this switch will be left in the On position. See Turning the Soundbar On and Off, on page 9, for more information.
