The TL1700 subwoofer features wireless connectivity. Connect the subwoofer to your AV receiver's LFE or Subwoofer output using the provided subwoofer cable.

The subwoofer should automatically pair with your receiver if it supports wireless subwoofer technology, or you may need to initiate pairing as per your receiver's manual.

4. Wandmontage (optional)

The satellite speakers are designed for wall mounting. Use appropriate screws and wall anchors (not included) for secure installation. Ensure the mounting surface can support the weight of the speakers. Refer to the rear view image for the keyhole mounting slot.
