Connecting Your Soundbar to the TV
Ensure the unit is disconnected from the mains socket before connecting it to other devices.
Method 1: HDMI Hub Connection
Using Your TV as a hub
• Ensure to use an HDMI cable that can support the ARC function.
• Some 4K HDR TVs require the HDMI input or picture settings to be set for HDR content reception. For further setup details on HDR display, please refer to the
instruction manual of your TV.
• HDMI-CEC will be called different names by different manufacturers – please refer to your owner's manual for details on setting up HDMI-CEC and ARC.
• While using an HDMI cable for ARC function, CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) provides interoperability between the unit and various devices (e.g. TV).
However, this unit is not guaranteed to fully operate with all HDMI-CEC enabled devices. This is NOT a defect.
The ARC (Audio Return Channel) function allows sound to travel to and from your ARC compliant TV to your soundbar through a single HDMI
connection.
To enjoy the ARC function, please ensure that your TV is both HDMI-CEC and ARC-compliant and set up accordingly. When correctly set up,
the CEC feature allows you to adjust the volume output (VOL+/VOL– and MUTE) of the soundbar with the TV remote control.
When you switch your TV on/off with your remote control, you soundbar will also be switched on/off. Be patient that it might take a few
seconds for your TV to tell your Soundbar to switch on or off.
Use this method to connect all your devices into your TV.
1. Connect an HDMI cable from your soundbar's HDMI ARC socket to the HDMI (ARC) socket on your ARC compliant TV.
2. After connection, press button on the unit or on the remote control to switch the unit on.
3. Press button on the unit or on the remote control repeatedly to select HDMI to play audio from your input device.

The unit may not be able to decode all digital audio formats from the input source. In this case, the unit will mute. This is NOT a defect. Ensure that the audio setting
of the input source (e.g. TV, game console, DVD player, etc.) is set to PCM (Refer to the user manual of the input source device for its audio setting details) with HDMI
output.
An HDMI cable with good quality can ensure the ideal performance on digital signal transfer for this
connection.
