Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your soundbar, connect it to your TV’s HDMI ARC port using a high-quality HDMI cable for the best performance. If your TV does not support ARC, you can use the Optical or 3.5mm input as an alternative. Ensure the soundbar is placed on a flat, stable surface or use the included wall-mount brackets to secure it below your display. For care, wipe the exterior periodically with a dry, soft microfiber cloth to prevent dust buildup. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or solvents that could damage the casing. Keep the device away from extreme temperatures and direct moisture to ensure the longevity of the internal components.
