1. Connecting the soundbar to your tV: The soundbar part of your Energy Power Bar
system is what 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 soundbar to the TV so that you can listen to all those and
your TV through the soundbar. 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 soundbar to either that box or your TV. There are
three different ways to connect the soundbar to your TV, Satellite or Cable box.
a. Digital optical Cable
Since most High Definition TV's, Satellite and Cable boxes have an DIGITAL OPTICAL AU-
DIO OUTPUT, we have included that cable. Simply connect one end of that included 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 soundbar.

B. rCa Cable
If you do not have an optical digital output, you can use analog left and right audio out-
puts on your device and connect them to the analog left and right inputs on the soundbar
(cable NOT supplied).

C. 3.5mm output (headphone Jack)
A third choice would be to connect from a headphone output on your device to the analog
left and right inputs on the soundbar (cable NOT supplied).

2. Connecting the subwoofer to the soundbar: Once you have placed the subwoofer
in the room, take the supplied subwoofer power cord, plug one end into the sub-
woofer where it is labeled "AC In" and plug the other end into an active electri-
cal socket. Turn the Main Power Switch on the back of the subwoofer on. On the
soundbar, make sure the status light is either solid green or orange (press SOURCE
button once if light is steady red). The subwoofer status lights will flash blue as
it looks for the wireless soundbar signal. Once the signal is found, the subwoofer
is "paired" with the soundbar, meaning it is wirelessly connected to it and the
subwoofer status light will stay solid blue.

The Energy Power Bar has been pre-programmed to work with many Samsung TV's, so if
you have one check to see if your Samsung TV remote automatically changes the sound-
bar volume and puts the soundbar into "STANDBY" when MUTE is pressed. If so, you do
not need to manually program your TV remote. Also, if once you have connected your En-
ergy Power Bar system you find that your TV remote automatically controls the volume up
and down through the soundbar (indicating you have a "variable" audio output on your
TV) you will not need to program VOLUME UP (+) or VOLUME DOWN (-) when programming
your TV remote. Program your TV remote control (or satellite or cable box remote control if
your soundbar is connected to that) according to the separate programming instructions
included with the soundbar.
The following 3 steps should be used to program each function of your TV or cable box
remote control buttons (SOURCE, MUTE, VOLUME UP, & VOLUME DOWN). IF THE SOUND-
BAR 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 SOURCE, VOLUME UP &
VOLUME DOWN in place of <MUTE> when programming the other buttons during
this step)
3. Learn the function: Hold your 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
