The bar comes with rubber feet already attached, so it will sit securely on any flat surface. Just center the bar under your TV screen. If your TV is housed in a media center, you can place the bar above the TV. 4 1 3 Overall Dimensions 1. 3 3/4" H (9.53 cm) If your TV is wall mounted, the bar can mount right beneath it.
HOW TO CONNECT YOUR BAR HOW TO CONNECT YOUR SUBWOOFER This is really easy too. You likely have many sources for your audio signal: your TV, your DVD player, or a cable/satellite box. The bar is able to accept audio from up to four different sources. The simplest approach is to connect the optical audio output of your TV to the optical input on the back of the bar. This method will provide the highest quality audio regardless of whether you are watching TV or watching your favorite DVD.
HOW TO OPTIMIZE THE SOUND WHEN TV SPEAKERS ARE ON You should hear sound from the bar. If you don’t, turn up the volume on the bar using its volume control buttons. If your bar is connected to your TV, there’s a very good chance your TV speakers are also playing. It’s impossible to give specific instructions on how to turn off the speakers for every TV, but here’s a way to do it that covers many of the TVs out there. 1. On your TV remote control, find a “menu” or “setup” button.
HOW TO SET UP A REMOTE CONTROL FOR YOUR SURROUNDBAR IHT 5 SMARTBAR™ PROGRAMMING NOTE: For your SurroundBar to respond to your remote control, you MUST FIRST program the bar to respond to your television’s original IR (Infra-Red) remote. An RF (Radio Frequency) remote will not work. Other remotes (cable, satellite) will work only after you have programmed the bar to respond to the TV’s IR remote.
TROUBLESHOOTING The bar does not power on. Ensure you have plugged the power supply into a live wall outlet. Ensure that all components of the power supply are connected properly. Ensure the power supply is properly connected to the bar power input. Ensure the rear panel power switch is in the “ON” position. Bass output is not loud enough. Turn up the subwoofer’s volume using the remote control. Place the subwoofer closer to a corner of the room. Move subwoofer closer to viewing location within the room.
FAQ’S (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS) My SurroundBar 9000 was responding to commands, but now it isn’t. What should I do? My TV does not have an optical output. How do I connect my audio?

Use the 1/8" (3.
