FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions)

My TV does not have an optical output. How do I connect my audio?

You have several options for connecting your audio:

Use the optical output of your source unit (cable/satellite box, DVD player, etc.) and connect directly to the SurroundBar using the supplied optical cable.

Use the 1/8" (3.5mm) analog/headphone output of your TV (if available) and connect directly to the N1 SurroundBar using 1/8" (3.5mm) to 1/8” (3.5mm) analog cable.

Use the RCA audio outputs (white/red pair) on your TV (if available) and connect directly to the N1 SurroundBar using 1/8" (3.5mm) to 1/8” (3.5mm) analog cable and 1/8" (3.5mm) to RCA adapter.
