Klipsch Complete Guide for HD Theater SB 3 Soundbar Setup and Connection

Connection

1.Connecting the soundbar to your TV: The soundbar part of your Klipsch HD Theater SB 3 system is what needs to be connected to your TV, Cable Box or Satellite Receiver. If you have other devices connected to your TV, such as a DVD / BluRay player, gaming system, etc., connect the soundbar to the TV so that you can listen to all those and your TV through the soundbar. If there are no other devices connected to your TV other than a cable or satellite box and you receive all of your television programs from that box, you can connect the soundbar to either that box or your TV. There are three different ways to connect the soundbar to your TV, Satellite or Cable box.

A. Digital Optical Cable (Preferred Method)

Most High Definition TV’s, Satellite and Cable boxes have an DIGITAL OPTICAL AUDIO OUTPUT. Simply connect one end of a digital optical cable (included) into the correspond- ing output of your TV, Satellite or Cable box and connect the other end of the cable into

Once you have made any of the above audio cable connections, connect the supplied soundbar power supply into the “DC Input” on the back of the soundbar, plug the other end into an active electrical socket and turn the Main Power Switch on the back of the soundbar on. Select the input you connected the TV to by push- ing the input button on the soundbar.

2.Connecting the subwoofer to the soundbar: Once you have placed the sub- woofer in the room, take the supplied subwoofer power cord, plug one end into the subwoofer where it is labeled “AC In” and plug the other end into an active electrical socket. Turn the Main Power Switch on the back of the subwoofer on. On the soundbar, make sure the left status light is either solid green or orange (press SOURCE button once if light is steady red). The red light will turn on until it finds the wireless signal coming from the soundbar. Once it finds that signal (approximately 15 seconds), the solid red light will change to solid blue, indicating the subwoofer is now connected to the soundbar.
