Sample soundbar placement
Wall mounting the soundbar
You can mount the soundbar on a wall. To purchase the WB-120 Wall Mount Kit, contact your local Bose® dealer or visit www.Bose.com
After wall mounting and setting up the soundbar, adjust the audio for better bass sound
CAUTION: Do not use any other hardware to mount the soundbar.
Cable options
Connect your TV to the soundbar using one of the two digital cable options. The optical cable is the preferred method for connection.
Note: If your TV does not have an optical or coaxial connector, see “Alternate Setup”
on page 27.
- On the back of your TV, locate the Audio OUT (digital) connector panel.
Note: You must connect the audio cable through your Audio OUT
connector panel.
2. Choose an audio cable.
Connecting your TV
Insert one end of the audio cable into the correct Audio OUT (digital) connector on
your TV.
CAUTION: If using an optical cable, remove the protective caps from both ends.
Inserting the plug in the wrong orientation can damage the plug and/or the
connector.
Connecting the soundbar
After connecting the audio cable to your TV, connect the other end to your soundbar.
Use only one audio cable. For instructions on connecting a coaxial cable, see page 16.
Option 1: Optical cable (preferred)
CAUTION: Ensure you have removed the protective cap from both ends of the optical
cable. Inserting the plug in the wrong orientation can damage the plug and/or the connector.
- Hold the optical cable’s plug with the Bose logo facing down.
- Align the plug with the Optical connector on the soundbar and insert the plug
carefully.
Note: The connector has a hinged door that swings inward when inserting the plug.
3. Firmly push the plug into the connector until you hear or feel a click.
Option 2: Coaxial cable
Insert the other end of the coaxial cable into the Coaxial connector on the soundbar.
Connecting to power
