Connections

POWER SUPPLY

Connect the plug with a power socket when you have completed the following assembly steps.

Using the connectors

Note: The HDMI eARC port on the soundbar can only be connected to TVs and other devices that have an HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) connection 1. If standard HDMI outputs and inputs are used on the playback device and TV, etc., connect the playback device to HDMI 1 or 2 and the output device (TV) to HDMI OUT of the soundbar 2.

If available on your TV, you can also connect the soundbar with cables of the type OPTICAL or COAXIAL 3 or with a audio cable 4.

You can also play audio files (mp3) from USB sticks by connecting an USB stick containing audio files.

Note: If you want to connect an external device to this product, a good quality shielded cable must be used, which confirms the electromagnetic compatibility of the product and the cable used as a whole.

For using Dolby Atmos®

Dolby Atmos ^® is available only in HDMI mode. For the details of the connection, please refer to "HDMI Connection".

1. To use Dolby Atmos ^® in HDMI 1 / HDMI 2 / HDMI ARC mode, your TV has to support Dolby Atmos ^® .

2. Make sure that "No Encoding" is selected for bitstream in the audio output of the

connected external device (e.g. Blu-ray DVD player, TV etc.).

1. If Dolby Atmos / Dolby Digital / PCM format is received, the soundbar will show DOLBY ATMOS / DOLBY AUDIO / PCM AUDIO.

Remote control – inserting/replacing battery

Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow and pull it out. Insert 2 new batteries type LR03/AAA, paying attention to correct polarity. Slide the battery compartment cover back on and let it snap into place.

Installation

There are 2 options regarding the structure of the soundbar. Note that there must be an electrical outlet nearby. Note the following sections.

1. Placing the soundbar

Place the soundbar and the subwoofer with the rubber feet on a flat and horizontal surface (e.g. under and in front of a TV). Both components must be installed near a mains socket outlet.

Alternatively, you can attach the soundbar to the wall using the wall brackets (e.g. above and behind the TV). Please note the following chapters.

2. Wall mounting - preparation

- The provided wall mount brackets can be used to fix the soundbar to a wall. The wall mount brackets are designed for use on vertical walls constructed of solid concrete or bricks.

- When installing on a hollow brick wall, verify first that they have the wall thickness suitable for wall plugs with 2.5 cm length.

- If you are uncertain about the construction of your wall, please consult a qualified contractor or installer for assistance.

- Additional tools (not included) are required for the installation.

- Use an electronic stud finder to check the wall type before drilling and mounting.

- During mounting, keep away children and pets.

- Make sure the soundbar is mounted in reach to the next wall outlet.

Mounting soundbar on the wall

• Drill 4 holes (∅ 3-8 mm each according to wall type) with correct distances. Insert wall plugs into the drilled holes (use a hammer if necessary) fix the brackets with the 4 screws. Make sure that you fix the brackets the right way round.
• Unscrew the two screws on the back and screw in the supplied flat head screws firmly.
• Plug the power cords into the AC\~ power connections of the soundbar and subwoofer. Plug the desired audio transmission cable into the corresponding socket on the back of the soundbar.

Note: If the soundbar is to be attached to a wall and connected via an HDMI cable, you will need an HDMI cable with an angled plug.

- Now attach the soundbar onto the brackets. Make sure both screw heads are properly seated in the holes.

Operation

Turn on the soundbar by pushing on / off button at the device or at the remote control. A blue, green or orange LED turns on.

Bluetooth®

If the connection is successful, an acoustic signal ("paired") sounds. Future use of the same player will automatically connect to the soundbar when the Bluetooth® feature is enabled on both devices. Start playback.

If supported by your playback device you can operate the functions play / pause ▶, skip forward ▶ and back using the remote control.

Audio input

Press the mode selection button at the on-state soundbar or the AUX, BT, USB, OPT/COA, HDMI1/2 or HDMI eARC button to activate audio input. The current audio input mode is shown in display.

Adjust the volume on the playback device or with the volume buttons - / + on the remote control in 32 steps.
