Getting Started
Deciding on location
The ASB-2 is a very versatile product, it can be placed on a cabinet/ shelf siting it on the supplied rubber stand.
It can also be mounted to a wall using the optional Monitor Audio ASB-2 Wall Bracket. It can also be mounted
below a flat panel TV using the Sanus VMA202 Soundbar Speaker Mount. Refer to www.sanus.com for further
information.
Table Stand
The ASB-2 comes with a rubber table stand. This is used to prevent it from moving when placed on a shelf or
cabinet.
Making the Connections
Now the location has been decided, connect the sources to the ASB-2 ensuring that none of the cables are not
kinked or stretched.
NOTE: Do not connect the power to the ABS-2 until you have made all of your audio/ video connections.
Connecting to a TV
When connecting to a TV with an ARC (Audio Return Channel), it is possible to output the sound from the TV
through the ASB-2 without the need for additional cables. Simply connect a single HDMI lead from the TV to the
ASB-2 and select HDMI 4 by pressing the HDMI button on the product (item
2, ASB-2 Buttons, page 4) until the LED flashes white 4 times.
If the TV does not have an ARC, then you can connect the ASB-2 and TV together by using the Digital Optical,
Digital Coaxial or Analogue Coaxial outputs from the TV. These connect to the corresponding input on the ASB-2.
