Face Up
You can place the soundbar facing up—often in front of the television. The

should be no shelf or flat surface immediately above the soundbar in this

• If you have a powered subwoofer you wish to use with this soundbar, the subwoofer
connection guide is located on the last panel of this document.
• Consider the
finish of the surface that will support the soundbar. It is the soundbar owner's
responsibility to insure that a surface finish that contacts the soundbar is protected,
should this be a concern of the soundbar owner. The contact area on the soundbar is
made of inert synthetic materials that typically do not react with furniture or wall finishes. But
any wall or surface finish can be altered by having any heavy object resting on it for a long
period of time. Place an appropriate barrier between any surface and the soundbar if you
are concerned about the finish of the supporting surface.

• A safe, secure installation is the soundbar owner’s responsibility.
• Use an unswitched AC outlet to provide power to the soundbar. With the soundbar's Auto
Standby feature turned on, the soundbar enters its low-power draw standby state after 20 to
30 minutes of inactivity. A soundbar uses less than 0.5 watt in Standby. Using a switched AC
outlet to cut off AC power to a soundbar system is not recommended. It delays subsequent
turn-on.

• Do not place any objects on top of a soundbar.
2. Connect Your TV's Audio Output to the Soundbar
All current TVs have an audio output. It is likely that one of the cables provided with the
soundbar can be used to connect the TV audio output to an input on the soundbar. DO NOT
disconnect any video program source connected to your TV (like a cable or satellite set top box,
DVD/Bluray or similar).
