SPEAKER PLACEMENT PLACING THE SOUNDBAR ON A TABLE PLACING THE SUBWOOFER If your TV is placed on a table, you can place the soundbar on the table directly in front of the TV stand, centered with the TV screen. As long as the surface of the table is flat, the soundbar will rest on its rubber bumpers. The performance of a subwoofer is directly related to its placement in the listening room and its physical position relative to the other speakers in the system.

English CONNECTIONS SOURCE CONNECTIONS Analog: Use the supplied stereo audio cable to connect the soundbar’s Source 1 (analog) input to your TV’s stereo audio output. If your TV has two sets of audio output jacks, use the set that has a fixed (not variable) output level. This will let you turn your TV’s speakers all the way off while the TV still supplies a constant audio signal to the soundbar.

Play music or movies that you are familiar with, and adjust the subwoofer’s Level knob so the bass sounds balanced on both music and films. Listen to several different music recordings and film soundtracks that contain strong bass passages, and find a setting for the Level knob that doesn’t over-emphasize the bass or make it sound weak.
