FAQ - Can I plug in an external source such as TV?
Yes! Simply plug in either an optical cable (you can use the supplied TOSLINK to Mini TOSLINK adaptor) or an analogue cable with 3.5mm stereo jack into your source. Once plugged in, simply select the Auxiliary input using the E300 remote control, turn it up and enjoy!
!! IMPORTANT !! If it's a TV or a device that supports multi-channel output such as Dolby Digital or similar and you're going to use digital optical as the method of connecting, please ensure the device's digital audio settings are set to PCM Stereo (refer to TV/device user manual on how to) otherwise you'll hear nothing or potentially static noise.
