USB Port: the uSB port is only for software upgrade. the SB26 allows users to upgrade
the software using the hK remote app from mobile devices. to upgrade the software
in the SB26 system, you will require a mobile device with Android or iOS operating
system. the software upgrade in SB26 can be performed using the Bluetooth channel
to communicate with the mobile device.
Power Input DC: connect the supplied dc power adapter to this input.
IR Transmitter: Although the SB26 can be wall-mounted, most customers place their
soundbar on a tV stand. this can be problematic as it may block the tV's remote control
sensor, forcing you to stand up and angle your remote to control your tV. In this case, we
recommend you to use the supplied Ir repeater.
to install the Ir repeater:
1. Plug the supplied Ir repeater cable to the back of the SB26.
2. Place the Ir repeater on the back of the SB26 in front of the tV Ir receiver.
the television Ir command will automatically transmit from the Ir receiver of the SB26

AUX Input: connect your system to other devices using an AuX cable. you can
connect an analog audio device to the SB26 using the 3.5 mm to rcA supplied cable.
Optical: If your tV, disc player or cable/satellite tuner has an optical digital output,
use the included optical cable to connect it here.
HDMI TV: connect your television to this input using the supplied hdMI® cable. If
the hdMI input of your television supports Audio return channel (Arc) feature, the
audio signal from the television will be automatically sent back to the SB26 with this
single cable. If your television does not support Arc, you need to have an additional
optical or analog cable base on your television compatibility.
HDMI 1 and HDMI 2: hdMI connections transmit digital audio and video signals
between the devices. If you have source devices with hdMI connectors, you should use
it for the best possible audio and video performance quality.
Table/ Wall Equalization Switch: the table wall switch adjusts the SB26's
bass for either wall or table mounting. If you are mounting the SB26 on a wall with the
included wall-mount brackets, set this switch to the wall position for the most natural-
sounding bass performance. If you are placing the SB26 on a table, set the eQ switch to
the table position for the most natural-sounding bass performance.
Wireless Subwoofer Pairing Button: Press the wireless subwoofer
pairing button to initiate wireless pairing between the SB26 and the powered
wireless subwoofer.
Wireless Subwoofer Pairing Indicator: during a wireless pairing, the
subwoofer pairing indicator displays the following:
• wireless pairing: Blue light blinks with a cycle of 300 ms
• wireless connection: Blue light constant
• wireless disconnection: Blue light blinks with a cycle of 1s
