CONNECTING THE SOUNDBAR

Look at the back of your source device, such as a TV, DVD/Blu-ray player, or cable box, to identify your audio OUT ports. Choose one connection option below that fits your audio source. You can connect several devices and switch the sound source as needed.
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.

RCA connection (GOOD)

Connect the right-angled connectors of the included RCA audio cable to your soundbar.
Connect the other end of the RCA audio cable into the Audio Output ports on your audio source device.
Note: Make sure that the cable ends match the color of the ports.

3.5 mm connection (GOOD)

Connect the red and white connectors of the included 3.5 mm to RCA cable to your soundbar.
Connect the other end of the 3.5 mm to RCA cable into the Audio Output port or headphone jack on your audio source device.

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.

CONNECTING YOUR SOUNDBAR USING BLUETOOTH (OPTIONAL)

Pairing your devices

Turn on your soundbar.
Place your Bluetooth device within 30 ft. (10 m) of your soundbar.
Select Bluetooth as the input source by pressing the (source) button on the remote control or the soundbar. The blue Bluetooth indicator on the soundbar blinks slowly.
Navigate to your device’s Bluetooth settings, turn on Bluetooth, then search for available devices. For additional information on pairing your device, refer to your device’s documentation.
On your Bluetooth device, select “NS-HSB318” from the device list. Repeat steps 3-4 if “NS-HSB318” is not displayed.
If a PIN code is requested, enter “0000.”
When pairing is completed the Bluetooth indicator on the top of your soundbar lights solid blue.

Notes:

Some devices, such as an iPhone, connect immediately after pairing, 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.
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, turn off Bluetooth or unpair from the currently paired device and manually connect to the other paired device.
When a call is received while playing music through a phone, the music stops automatically.
When the call ends, depending on the setting of your phone, the current track may resume playback.

Disconnecting your devices Turn off the Bluetooth function on your device.
Note: For more information about using Bluetooth, see the online User Guide.

No sound or very low-level sound is heard from the soundbar.	• Make sure that you are connected to an audio OUT jack on your sound source. The port will not send audio out if it is an INPUT. • Make sure that the volume level of the soundbar is set to an adequate level. • If you are using Bluetooth, turn up the volume on your Bluetooth device. • Make sure that the volume level is not muted. Press the (mute) button on the remote control to restore the sound output. • Make sure that the correct audio source is selected. Press the button repeatedly to switch to the correct audio source. • Make sure that that the power is on and all connections are secure. • If you are using an AUX 3.5 mm cable connection, make sure that the volume is turned up on your sound source. • If you are using the OPTICAL connection, make sure that the source device’s audio source is set to “PCM” format. Refer to the documentation you received with the audio source device (such as a TV or DVD/Blu-ray player) for additional information. • Make sure that the audio cable you are using is not damaged or broken. Try using another one.
Your soundbar is not working properly.	• Unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet and then try plugging it in again after 30 seconds. • If you are using the OPTICAL connection, make sure that the source device’s audio source is set to “PCM” format.
