FEATURES

1. CONNECTING THE SOUNDBAR

Choose one connection option below that fits your audio source device (for example, TV, DVD/ Blu-ray player, or gaming console).

CAUTION: Turn off or unplug all devices while you are making connections.

NOTE: If you mounted your soundbar on a wall, you must use the included right-angle cable connectors for the AUX IN or RCA cable connections.

– PICK ONE –

Digital connections (BEST)

Connect one end of the digital optical cable (not included) to your soundbar. Connect the other end into the Digital Optical Output port on your audio source device.
Change the device’s audio output to ‘PCM’ format (typically found in Audio Settings). Refer to the documentation that came with your audio source device for more information.
After connecting power, see USING YOUR SOUNDBAR on the next page.

– OR –

AUX IN connections (GOOD)

Connect the right-angled end of the 3.5mm audio cable to your soundbar. Plug the other end into the Audio Output port or headphone jack on your audio source device.
After connecting power, see USING YOUR SOUNDBAR on the next page.

– OR –

RCA Audio connections (GOOD)

Connect the right-angled connectors of the RCA audio cables to your soundbar. Connect the other end of the RCA cables into the Audio Output ports on your audio source device.
After connecting power, see USING YOUR SOUNDBAR on the next page.
NOTE: Make sure that the cable ends match the color of the ports.

2. CONNECTING THE SUBWOOFER (OPTIONAL)

Connect one end of the subwoofer speaker cable (not included) to the subwoofer and the other end to the soundbar.

3. CONNECTING THE AC ADAPTER

CAUTIONS:

Make sure that the electrical outlet matches the AC adapter’s input requirements of 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz before connecting.
Use only the AC adapter provided.
Plug in the AC adapter only after all other connections have been made.

Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN jack on the back of the soundbar.
Plug the other end of the AC adapter into a power outlet or surge protector.

4. CONNECTING BLUETOOTH (OPTIONAL)

NOTES:

Your soundbar must be on to make a Bluetooth connection.
Place the Bluetooth device within 30 ft. (10 m) of your soundbar.

Select Bluetooth as the input source by pressing the (Bluetooth) button on the remote control or the (source) button on the soundbar. The Bluetooth indicator on the soundbar will blink slowly.
Navigate to your device’s Bluetooth settings, turn on Bluetooth, then search for available devices.
a. For iPad/iPhone/iPod touch:
i. From the home page, touch Settings > General > Bluetooth.
b. For Android Phone/Tablet:
i. From your smart phone/tablet home page, touch Settings >Wireless and networks.
ii. Click to activate Bluetooth, then touch Bluetooth settings.
c. For a PC or Mac, see the instructions that came with your computer or operating system for more information.
On your Bluetooth device, select “NS-SB314” from the device list. Repeat step 2 if “NS-SB314” is not displayed.
If a PIN code is requested, enter “0000.”
When pairing is completed the Bluetooth indicator on the top of your soundbar turns on.

NOTES:

Some devices, such as an iPhone, connect immediately after pairing so the Bluetooth indicator on your soundbar remains on. Other devices, such as notebook computers, may ask you if you wish to connect. In this instance, the Bluetooth indicator continues to blink until a connection is established.
Your soundbar saves pairing information for up to eight devices. However, it can only be connected and playing content from one device at a time.
When you turn on your soundbar, it automatically connects to the last connected device if that device is in range. To connect to a different paired device, you have to turn off Bluetooth or unpair from the currently paired device and manually connect to the other paired device.

6. Use your Bluetooth device to control music playback, and the Vol +/- on your Bluetooth device and your soundbar or remote control to adjust the volume.

To receive a phone call while playing music:

When a call is received while playing music through a phone, the music will stop automatically.
When the call ends, depending on the setting of your phone, the current track may resume playback.

5. POSITIONING YOUR SOUNDBAR

6. MOUNTING YOUR SOUNDBAR ON A WALL (OPTIONAL)

NOTE: Mounting instructions are also provided on the wall mounting template.

Select a location close to your TV and directly in front of the viewing/listening position. For best sound quality, choose a location where sound waves are not blocked by furniture or other obstacles.
Position the wall mount template where you want to mount the soundbar. Make sure the template is level (A), then tape the template to the wall (B).
Drill two holes into the wall, where the template indicates, then remove the template.
Install wall anchors (not included) into the holes you drilled, using the instructions that came with your anchors.
NOTES:
• If you have drilled into a stud, wall anchors are not required.
• If you cannot drill into wall studs and must drill into drywall, concrete, or another type of wall, wall anchors are required.
See the instructions that came with your wall anchors to determine the drill bit size.
Secure two screws (not included) to the wall or wall anchors (if required). The screws must protrude from the wall by about 1/4″. Use a #10 wood screw (or similar) 1 1/2″ in length. Screw width must be about 3/16″ and the screw head must be approximately 1/4″ to 3/8″.
Align the speaker hanging brackets with the screws, then hang the soundbar on the screws.
