The item came with unintelligible instructions, and I spent 45 minutes trying to figure them out. When I was about ready to give up, I realized that the enclosed cords were all that I needed. The manufacturer of this item was not listed among the dozens and dozens of options of sound bar to connect my TV, but I was still able to connect it by the cords. I believe that the instructions were related to Bluetooth set up, which I was not interested in. I bought this item at a very good price and it is certainly better quality than the television speakers, and I’m happy with the result.
