Analog Audio Output
Y ou can connect a TV set’ s analog audio output to the analog audio input on the the
soundbar (left and right RCA jacks). The analog audio output on your TV will be a 1/8 inch
stereo minijack or a pair of RCA jacks. The two illustrations below show the appearance of
these two audio output connections.
1. Speaker placement
Y ou can place the soundbar on any at, stable surface near your TV .
There ar e three general placement options, illustrated above:
Face Front Y ou can place the soundbar on a at surface so it faces forward.
This placement is ideal for a shelf below , above or near the
television.
Face Up Y ou can place the soundbar facing up—often in front of the
television. The bottom of the soundbar should face the listening
area. Check to ensur e the soundbar does not block the television
infrared r emote sensor . There should be no shelf or at surface
immediately above the soundbar in this conguration.
W all Mount The soundbar has two sturdy keyhole-shaped hanger mounts on
the back panel. Y ou can hang the soundbar on two screwheads
that are secur ely installed in a wall or other vertical surface.
• Consider the nish of the surface that will support the soundbar . It is the
soundbar owner's responsibility to insur e that a surface nish that contacts
the soundbar is protected, should this be a concern of the soundbar owner .
The contact area on the soundbar is made of inert synthetic materials that
typically do not react with furniture or wall nishes. But any wall or surface nish
can be altered by having any heavy object r esting on it for a long period of time.
Place an appropriate barrier between any surface and the soundbar if you
are concerned about the nish of the supporting surface.
• A safe, secure installation is the soundbar owner’ s responsibility .
• Use an unswitched AC outlet to provide power to a soundbar . With the
soundbar’ s Auto Standby feature turned on, an soundbar will enter its Standby
state on or before 30 minutes of inactivity . A soundbar uses less than 0.5 watt in
Standby . Using a switched AC outlet to cut off AC power to a soundbar system
is not recommended. It delays subsequent turn-on.
• Do not place any objects on top of a soundbar .
15. Grounding or Polarization –This pr oduct may be
equipped with a polarized alternating-current line
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will t into the power outlet only one way .
This is a safety feature. If you ar e unable to insert the
plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the
plug should still fail to t, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
Alternate Warnings–This product is equipped with
a three-wir e grounding-type plug, a plug having a
third (gr ounding) pin. This plug will only t into a
grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety featur e.
If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding-type plug.
16. V entilation–Slots and openings in the cabinet
are pr ovided for ventilation and to ensure r eliable
operation of the product and to pr otect it from
overheating, and these openings must not be
blocked or covered. The openings should never be
blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug,
or other similar surface. This product should not be
placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase
or rack unless proper ventilation is pr ovided or the
manufacturer’ s instructions have been adhered to.

or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than the other . A grounding
type plug has two blades and a third gr ounding
prong. The wide blade or the thir d prong ar e
provided for your safety . If the provided plug does
not t into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
