SOUNDBAR FRONT SOUNDBAR REAR REMOTE CONTROL PLACEMENT/INSTALLATION Placing/wall-mounting the soundbar: The soundbar is designed to be placed on a flat surface directly in front of your TV on its two supplied feet, on a shelf directly above or below your TV in a piece of furniture with feet or wall-mounted (via keyholes on the rear of the soundbar) under a TV that is also wall-mounted. If wall-mounting, connect supplied cable (or other cable) to TV first, then use supplied wall-mount template to mount sound- bar. If the two mounting holes drill into wall studs, screw two wood screws in those holes to hang the soundbar on. If there are no wall studs where the holes are drilled, use wall anchors that support at least 10 pounds to hang the soundbar on. Connect cable from TV (see Connection section) to soundbar and hang soundbar on wall.

1. Connecting the soundbar to your TV: The Energy Power Bar One 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 Energy Power Bar One to the TV so that you can listen to all those and your TV through the Energy Power Bar One. 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 Energy Power Bar One to either that box (with the supplied digital optical cable) or your TV. There are three different ways to con- nect the Energy Power Bar One to your TV, Satellite or Cable box. A. 3.5mm/Headphone Output Once you have placed the Energy Power Bar One where you want it, connect one end of the supplied 3.5mm to dual RCA cable to your TV’s 3.5mm/headphone audio output jack and connect the other end of the cable into the L/R RCA input jacks on the rear of the soundbar. B. RCA Cable You can use analog left and right audio outputs on your device and connect them to the analog left and right inputs on the Energy Power Bar One back panel. (cable NOT supplied). C. Digital Optical Cable Since most High Definition TV’s, Satellite and Cable boxes have a digital optical audio output, we have included that cable. Remove the plastic caps on the end of the cable. Simply connect one end of the cable into the corresponding output of your TV, Satellite or Cable box and connect the other end of the cable into the digital optical input on the back panel of the Energy Power Bar One. NOTE: If you receive any or all of your channels using a separate antenna connected to your TVs Coax/Antenna input, there may be no sound received from those channels using the digital optical cable connection.

2. Plug the AC power cord into the soundbar power supply, then connect the power

supply into the DC Input on the rear of the soundbar. Plug the AC power supply into a “live” electrical outlet and turn the soundbar’s Main Power switch on the rear of the soundbar to “On”. On the front of the soundbar, make sure the status light is either solid green or orange (press any button once if light is steady red). PROGRAMMING YOUR TV REMOTE TO OPERATE THE SOUNDBAR The following 3 steps should be used to program each function of your TV or cable box remote control buttons (MUTE, VOLUME UP, & VOLUME DOWN). IF THE SOUNDBAR IS IN STANDBY MODE (solid red status light), push the <SOURCE> button on the soundbar until the status light is solid GREEN.

1. Place the unit in learning mode: With the status light showing solid GREEN, press and

hold down both the <SOURCE> and <MUTE> buttons on the front of the soundbar at the same time (approximately 3 seconds) until the status light flashes ORANGE.

2. Select the function to learn: Press the <MUTE> button once on the soundbar (the

status light changes to solid ORANGE). (Substitute the VOLUME UP & VOLUME DOWN in place of <MUTE> when programming the other buttons during this step) OFF ON Soundbar Connection PanelDigital Optical Cable (Supplied)TV Connection PanelSoundbar Connection PanelPower Supply and AC Cord 3.5mm/Headphone 3.5mm/Headphone Soundbar Connection Panel TV Connection Panel3.5mm to Male RCA Cable (Supplied) 3.5mm/Headphone 3.5mm/Headphone Male RCA to Male RCA Cable (Not Supplied) Soundbar Connection Panel TV Connection Panel STATUS LIGHT SOURCE MUTE VOLUME UP VOLUME DOWN Soundbar Front Control Panel3. Learn the function: Hold your TV or cable remote control within one foot and pointed at the front of the soundbar. Slowly press the <MUTE> button on your remote control four times. On the first three presses, the status indicator light will flicker ORANGE with each press. If the unit has successfully learned the function, on the fourth press of the button, the light will flash GREEN several times and then turn to solid GREEN. (Remember to use the VOLUME UP & VOLUME DOWN in place of <MUTE> when programming the other buttons during this step) To program the remaining functions, simply repeat all steps, substituting <MUTE> with the new function and button presses (VOLUME UP, and VOLUME DOWN) on steps TWO and THREE. IMPORTANT NOTE: There is not a power on/off button on the front of the soundbar (there is a “Main Power” switch on the soundbar’s rear panel). You DO NOT need to turn off the soundbar when finished watching TV. When finished, turn off your TV (or Satellite or Cable box if the soundbar is connected to that). The soundbar will automatically go into a Standby or “sleep” mode if it does not receive an audio signal from your TV, Satellite or Cable Box for approximately 10 minutes. Standby “On” mode is indicated by a solid red status light on the soundbar front panel. When your TV, Satellite or Cable box is turned back on and a signal is again received the soundbar will automatically come out of Standby mode and turn on.

BAR ONE Once your soundbar is connected and operating, you will want to complete a few basic steps to get the most enjoyment out of your system. First, you will want to turn off the speakers on your TV and let your soundbar be your new sound source. Some TV’s will automatically turn off their speakers when you connect the soundbar, while others you must manually turn their speakers off. Each TV is different, but to manually turn off TV speakers you usually must bring up a menu of some type, and go into that menu’s “audio” or “sound” portion where you find a selection to turn TV speakers off. If you cannot turn your TV speakers off, the soundbar will still give you an excellent enhancement to the sound coming from your TV, and you can easily adjust your TV sound to blend with the soundbar’s sound. To make this adjustment, first program your TV remote to operate the soundbar, then manually turn your TV volume down all the way down from the controls on the TV itself. Next, press the VOLUME UP (+) control on the front of the soundbar until you have a comfortable TV listening volume level coming from the soundbar.
