Display Panel

First-Time Setup
Not all TVs have the audio outputs shown above. To connect the Sound Bar directly to your other devices (Blu-ray player, game system, etc) see your device’s user manual. If using the Optical Input, make sure your TV’s audio is set to PCM output

For the best surround sound experience, position the Sound Bar as shown. The Sound Bar should be close to ear level.
Turn your TV on, then press the Power button on the remote to turn the Sound Bar on.
Press the input button to switch between audio sources. For example, if you connected your TV to input 1, set the Sound Bar to input 1.
Using The Remote
