SOUNDBAR REAR-PANEL CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS Power Cord Connector HDMI ARC TV Out Connector HDMI Input Connectors Pairing Button and LED EQ Aux Input Switch Connector SOUNDBAR TOP-PANEL CONTROLS AND REMOTE CONTROL Source Indicator LEDs Power Source Volume Surround Bluetooth Button Button Buttons ModeButton Button Power Switch Optical Input Connector Power switch: Set this switch to the "On" position to activate the soundbar. 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.

(The Power indicator will turn white.) To put the system in the Standby mode, press either Power button while the system is on. (The Power indicator will turn amber.) The subwoofer will remain on for approximately ten minutes after the soundbar goes into the Standby mode. If you do not press the Power button, the soundbar and the subwoofer will both automatically go into the Standby mode approximately 10 minutes after the audio signal ceases. NOTE: If you put the soundbar into the Standby mode by pressing the Power button, you must manually turn it on by pressing the Power button again. Mute button (remote control only): Press the Mute button to mute the system. (The Volume +/- indicators both illuminate white.) While the system is muted, press the Mute button again or either Volume button to restore the sound. NOTE: Pressing both of the soundbar's Volume buttons at the same time while the system is on will mute the system. Pressing either Volume button while the system is muted will restore the sound. Surround Mode button: This button turns the soundbar's HARMAN Display Surround processing on and off. The Surround button indicator turns amber when HARMAN Display Surround is active, and turns white when HARMAN Display Surround is not active (normal stereo sound). See Changing the Surround Mode, on page 7, for more information. Volume buttons: Press the "+" button to increase the volume; press the "-" button to decrease the volume. The buttons illuminate white for a few seconds after being pressed.
