What are the differences between the ULTIMA 40 ACTIVE and ULTIMA 40 ACTIVE 3?

How do I connect my TV?
The ULTIMA 40 ACTIVE/ACTIVE 3 can be connected directly to a TV, and will then serve as a fully fledged TV sound system.
HDMI: The ideal scenario is connecting via HDMI with Audio Return Channel (ARC). That way, the TV will automatically recognize the speaker system and produce sound via the ULTIMA 40 ACTIVE. You can connect it using the TV IN port (see illustration above).
Optical In (TOSLINK): Use a digital optical cable with the OPTICAL IN port (see illustration above)
AUX IN: Connect an analog RCA cable or use the headphone output of the TV with an AUX to RCA adapter and the AUX IN ports (see illustration above)
Why won't my speakers turn on automatically?
- All sources:
- Check the power cable: is everything plugged in and turned on? Is your AC power outlet functioning properly? If the speakers are unplugged, they have to be manually turned on to start working.
- Check the settings and auto on/off. You can check the menu and adjust the Auto On/Off for each source individually. Find more information in your user manual.
- Analog sources: check the AUTO ON SENSITIVITY dial (located between the optical and AUX IN inputs.
