You can connect a number of different audio devices to this product, e.g. an MP3 player, a CD player, the receiver of your stereo system, a computer or even your television.

8.1.1. Audio cable with 2 x 3.5mm Ø jack

You will need an audio cable with a 2 x 3.5mm Ø jack (supplied with the product) to connect to a headphone socket, e.g. on a CD player or MP3 play- er (see connection A in diagram).

1. Set the volume to medium on the MP3 player. Then switch it off.

2. Plug the jack into the AUX socket on the sound bar.

3. Plug the connector into the headphone output socket on the MP3 player.

8.1.2. Audio cable with cinch connectors

These are usu- ally marked OUT, AUDIO OUT, LINE OUT or similar. 8.2. Optical connections The OPTICAL connection can be used for digital amplifiers or television sets (see connection C in diagram). You will need an optical digital cable (fi- bre-optic cable – not supplied with the product – available from specialist retailers).

1. Set the audio device to a medium volume. Then switch it off.

2. Remove the protective cap from the optical connection. Plug the connec-

tor into the OPTICAL socket on the soundbase.

3. Plug the connector into the corresponding digital output socket on your

digital receiver or television set. NOTE If no audio signals are emitted, switch the output audio format on your output device to PCM mode (Pulse Code Modulation). 8.3. HDMI (ARC) connections You will need an HDMI cable (see connection D in diagram). The HDMI cable is not supplied with the product.

1. Set the audio device to a medium volume. Then switch it off.

2. Connect the HDMI port to the HDMI IN socket on your television set.

3. Activate the ARC and CEC functions and switch the audio output to PCM on

the connected devices, referring to the operating instructions for these devices. With ARC it is possible with two connected devices not only to receive audio signals via HDMI but to send them back again via the same cable. CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) enables the communication of all devic- es connected via HDMI. This connection then allows you to control the vol- ume and mute setting with the remote control for the television. NOTE ARC only works with devices which are HDMI ARC-capable and with an HDMI 1.4 cable (or higher). 96 of 104 80022 DE-FR-NL-EN eCommerce Content RC1.indb 9680022 DE-FR-NL-EN eCommerce Content RC1.indb 96 31.07.2015 08:49:2431.07.2015 08:49:249.
