In normal operation, this switch will be left in the "On" position. See Turning the Soundbar On and Off, on page 5, for more information. Power Cord connector: Connect the included power cord here. See Power Connections, on page 5, for more information. HDMI® Input connectors: HDMI connections transmit digital audio and video signals between devices. If you have source devices with HDMI connectors, using them will provide the best possible audio and video performance quality. HDMI ARC TV Out connector: If your TV has an HDMI input, use an HDMI cable (not supplied) to connect it to the soundbar's HDMI ARC TV Out connector. The soundbar will pass video from source devices connected to its HDMI Input connectors, along with its own on-screen information display to the TV. If your TV is equipped with the HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC) Function, you can feed its sound to the soundbar via the HDMI ARC TV Out connection, and it will not require additional audio connections to the soundbar. The ARC signal is active when the HDMI TV source is selected. Pairing button and LED: Press the Pairing button to initiate wireless pairing between the soundbar and the wireless subwoofer. See Pairing the Units for Wireless Operation, on page 6, for more information. EQ switch: Use this switch to adjust the soundbar's bass for either wall or table mounting. If you're mounting the soundbar on a wall with the included wall-mount bracket, set the EQ switch to the "Wall" position for the most natural-sounding bass performance. If you are placing the soundbar on a table, set the EQ switch to the "Table" position for the most natural-sounding bass performance. Aux Input connection: Use the included stereo 3.5mm to stereo RCA audio cable to connect the stereo analog outputs of your TV, disc player or cable/satellite tuner here. Optical Input connector: If your TV, disc player or cable/satellite tuner has an optical digital output, use the included optical cable to connect it here. IMPORTANT: Do not connect the power cord to an AC outlet until you have made and verified all other connections. If you will not be using the soundbar for an extended period - for instance, if you're going on vacation - set the Power switch to the "0" (off) position.
