sion and the soundbar—and changing the input on
your television will change the audio signal being
sent to the soundbar (without having to change the
input setting on the soundbar itself). Please note:
televisions are not capable of passing multi-channel
encoded audio signals and will down-mix these sig-
nals to a 2-channel stereo mix before sending them
to the television's digital output.
Most users will want to run cables directly from
the source to the soundbar while simultaneously
running HDMI from each source to the TV for the
video signal. This has the advantage of allowing
the soundbar to receive multi-channel encoded
material. However, some newer source devices
turn off their optical/coaxial outputs when their
HDMI output is used.
Depending on your number of sources, the TV may
be used for switching some sources while audio out-
put from the primary source devices may be directly
connected to the soundbar for multi-channel sound.
A few important points to remember when connect-
ing your soundbar:
• Digital optical and digital coaxial connections
will provide the highest audio fidelity when
connecting to the soundbar.
• If your soundbar is not producing sound or
surround sound from your Blu-ray player, DVD
player, or other multi-channel audio capable
source you may need to set the player's digital
audio output to "Bitstream" (also called "Raw",
"Direct Digital", or "High Bit Rate"). If "PCM" is
selected you'll loose the multi-channel encoded
sound. Some players only require you to turn
PCM off to configure for multi-channel encoded
sound. Please refer to your player's manual.
• In a setup where HDMI is used to connect your
audio/video source component to your televi-
12
sion, you will likely need to run an additional
digital optical or coaxial cable between the
source component and your soundbar. This
extra connection will allow for multi-channel
encoded audio to reach the soundbar.
• Audio-only sources capable of only stereo out-
put (such a portable media player docks or CD
player) will often connect directly to the sound-
bar via the left/right analog RCA inputs.

SUBWOOFER CONNECTION

You may choose to employ a separate subwoofer
to reproduce the .1/LFE channel information in
multi-channel recordings and/or reinforce bass per-
formance of stereo recordings. Any aftermarket home
theater subwoofer can be connected via the sound-
bar's "LFE Out" RCA connection. We, of course,
recommend using a superb MartinLogan subwoofer.
Additionally, this soundbar integrates a built-in
SWT-2 subwoofer wireless transmitter compatible
with select MartinLogan subwoofers. Subwoofers
utilizing SWT-2 technology will reference this wire-
less system on their connection panel.
Please note: When utilizing a wireless connec-
tion it is not necessary to use the SWT-2 wireless
transmitter included with the subwoofer.
No Subwoofer
For systems not using a separate subwoofer, use
the soundbar's menu system and choose "SUB >
NO SUB". This sets the soundbar to reproduce the
entire frequency range when playing content.
