1. DC 12V – Connect the DC 12V jack to 12V AC/DC adaptor. Please connect the jack before
plugging into the AC mains power.
2. Power Switch – Switches on and off the mains power to the soundbar. It is recommended to
switch it off if you don't plan to use the Soundbar for long periods of time.
3. Optical – This is a Toss-link optical digital connector. It is recommended to use optical as
your main audio input source where possible, as it ensures minimal signal degradation and a
consistent volume level across all audio source devices. You should connect the cable from
the soundbar directly to your TV’s optical connection. This then results in your TV acting as
the hub for all your other connected devices.
* Important – Some DVD players or TV’s have set the default optical output to 5.1 or 7.1 audio
output, which will not work on a 2.1 Soundbar system. If no sound is heard from the Soundbar
when connecting through the optical input, please make sure the audio output setting of the
source device is set to stereo instead of Dolby 5.1 or DTS 7.1.
Power saving mode: Red light flashes once every 5 seconds. The subwoofer will automatically
enter into power saving mode when it’s not being used.
4. RCA Input(AUX1) - This is the analogue audio input which can be used as an alternative to
either the optical or 3.5mm mini jack connections.
5. 3.5mm Mini-jack(AUX2) - This is another analogue audio input which can also be used as an
alternative to the optical or RCA input.
