WALL-MOUNTING THE SOUNDBAR If your TV is attached to a wall, you can use the included wall-mount bracket to mount the soundbar on the wall directly below the TV screen. 1. Determine the location for the soundbar on the wall. Make sure that the top of the soundbar will not block your view of the TV screen when it is mounted on the wall. 2.

The three holes should be evenly spaced 7-1/16" (18cm) apart, and the bracket slots are designed to accept 4mm screws. Make sure that the holes are at the same height. See the illustration below.

If your TV has two sets of audio output jacks, use the set that has a fixed (not variable) output level. This will let you turn your TVs speakers all the way off while the TV still supplies a constant audio signal to the soundbar. Digital: If your disc player, cable tuner or satellite tuner has an optical digital output, you can use the supplied optical digital audio cable to connect it to the soundbars Optical (digital) input. NOTE: If your disc player, cable tuner or satellite tuner does not have an optical digital output, you can connect its analog audio output to your TV. The TV will send its audio signal to the soundbar through the analog connection described above. Remove Caps Disc Player or Cable/Satellite Tuner TV Optical Cable
