ConneCtIon
1. Connecting the soundbar to your tV: The soundbar part of your Klipsch HD
Theater SB 3 system is what needs to be connected to your TV, Cable Box or
Satellite Receiver. If you have other devices connected to your TV, such as a DVD /
BluRay player, gaming system, etc., connect the soundbar to the TV so that you can
listen to all those and your TV through the soundbar. If there are no other devices
connected to your TV other than a cable or satellite box and you receive all of your
television programs from that box, you can connect the soundbar to either that box or
your TV. There are three different ways to connect the soundbar to your TV, Satellite or
Cable box.
a. Digital optical Cable (preferred method)
Most High Definition TV's, Satellite and Cable boxes have an DIGITAL OPTICAL AUDIO
OUTPUT. Simply connect one end of a digital optical cable (included) into the correspond-
ing output of your TV, Satellite or Cable box and connect the other end of the cable into
the DIGITAL OPTICAL INPUT on the back panel of the soundbar.

b. rCa Cable
If you do not have an optical digital output, you can use analog left and right audio
outputs on your device and connect them to the analog left and right inputs on the
soundbar (cable supplied).

once you have made any of the above audio cable connections, connect the
supplied soundbar power supply into the "DC Input" on the back of the soundbar,
plug the other end into an active electrical socket and turn the main power Switch
on the back of the soundbar on. Select the input you connected the tV to by push-
ing the input button on the soundbar.
2. Connecting the subwoofer to the soundbar: Once you have placed the sub-
woofer in the room, take the supplied subwoofer power cord, plug one end into
the subwoofer where it is labeled "AC In" and plug the other end into an active
electrical socket. Turn the Main Power Switch on the back of the subwoofer on. On
the soundbar, make sure the left status light is either solid green or orange (press
SOURCE button once if light is steady red). The red light will turn on until it finds the
wireless signal coming from the soundbar. Once it finds that signal (approximately 15
seconds), the solid red light will change to solid blue, indicating the subwoofer is now
connected to the soundbar.
