CONNECTING YOUR SPEAKER TO YOUR TV
GOOD
You can connect your sound bar to your TV if you have a headphone Aux 3.5mm jack.
BETTER
If your TV has an Optical port, you can connect the sound bar to your TV this way for digital sound. This method is similar in operation to the 3.5mm jack option.
BEST
HDMI (ARC) is the best option as it allows you to control the volume level of the sound bar using your TV’s remote control.
If your TV has this input option, HDMI (ARC) is the best connection method.
ALL CONNECTION TYPES
| Connection type | Connection Method | Via Remote Control |
| LINE IN | Via 3.5mm Audio Cable | Connect your audio device to the sound-bar using the 3.5mm cable and press the LINE IN button. |
| HDMI (ARC) | Via HDMI Cable | Connect your HDMI device (such as BluRay or DVD player) to the sound-bar using a HDMI cable and press the ARC IN button. |
| BLUE | Via Bluetooth (Wireless) | Press the BLUETOOTH button. Turn on your portable Bluetooth device and follow
the pairing instructions above. |

USING BLUETOOTH
- Press the BLUETOOTH button to toggle to the BT function. The BLUE indicator will begin to flash on the front of the speaker, which means the Bluetooth “pairing mode” has been activated.
- Turn the Bluetooth function on, on your device (smart phone or tablet etc).
- Scan for new devices, and look for SPK-SB166 to pop up on screen.
- Once connected and paired, the BLUE indicator will stop flashing to indicate pairing has been completed.
- You are now ready to listen to music wireless via your sound bar. Open your music files, select a song and press play.
WHAT IS ARC (HDMI)
ARC allows you to connect multiple Audio and/or Video (AV) devices using just the one connected HDMI cable. There is no need to connect each AV device separately.
TIPS ABOUT USING ARC
ARC SETUP
- ARC control will only work through HDMI sockets marked with “ARC”
- ARC must be turned ON in the user menu of all connected devices such as TV’s and receivers.
ARC VOLUME CONTROL
The primary benefit that ARC control can provide (refer to the user manual of your connected devices for more information) is to control sound levels of connected devices together, such as your sound bar and TV.
For example, if you increase the volume of your TV, your sound bar will also increase sound level. ARC is also able to power ON and power OFF your devices together but again, please refer back to the user manual of your connected devices for more information.
PROBLEMS WITH NON-ARC HDMI SOCKETS
Your sound bar may not work correctly when plugged into a non-ARC rated HDMI socket. The tell-tale sign of this is that you get no sound at all out of your TV and or Sound Bar even though you are increasing the volume on both. In this case, please check that you are using a HDMI socket that supports ARC.
