Note: Turn off all devices while you are making connections.

Plug the AC power cord into a power outlet or surge protector.
CONNECTING THE SUBWOOFER
- When you turn on your soundbar for the first time, the status indicator blinks turquoise.
- Plug in your subwoofer. The pairing indicator blinks turquoise. The soundbar and subwoofer automatically connect, then the pairing indicator turns solid turquoise on the subwoofer and the appropriate indicator (yellow=AUX IN, green=Digital Optical, blue=Bluetooth, and purple=USB) on the soundbar.
Manually connecting the subwoofer and soundbar
If the pairing indicator on the subwoofer blinks turquoise, the subwoofer does not automatically connect to your soundbar.
