3. Connecting the AMBEO Soundbar to the power supply system

Connect the AMBEO Soundbar to the power supply system - the AMBEO Soundbar comes to life and guides you through the initial switch-on process (> 27).

4. Starting the room calibration

For an optimum spatial sound experience, the AMBEO Soundbar must perform a room calibration. Connect the microphone for the room calibration and start the calibration. The calibration takes only a few minutes and leads to the best possible 3D spatial sound (> 28).

▷ Observe the following:

–The distance X of the Soundbar to the side walls should ideally

the same so that the Soundbar is centered in the room. The

be optimum distance between the Soundbar and the walls is between 1 and 5 meters.

– There must be no objects that block the sound or have a strong

Installing the AMBEO Soundbar

When positioning the Soundbar, keep in mind that the sound is reflected by the walls and ceiling. Many curtains, thick carpets and other rough surfaces can affect the 3D spatial sound.

Mounting the Soundbar to a wall

To mount the Soundbar to a wall, you require the SB01-WM wall mount (optional accessory, > 6).

▷ Proceed as described in the mounting instructions (enclosed with

the SB01-WM wall mount) and use the drilling template.

Connecting devices to the AMBEO Soundbar

▷ Put a protective material (e.g. the foam parts of the packaging or

a blanket) between the piece of furniture and the Soundbar.

▷ Carefully turn the Soundbar on its front.

Preparation

Adjust the sound settings on the TV and on the audio/video device.

▷ On your devices, adjust the sound settings for the HDMI and opti-

cal output from “Downmix/Stereo” to “Auto/Bypass/Pass-

hrough”. (The menu of the devices may use different names

T depending on the manufacturer). This ensures that the audio signals for 3D spatial sound from the

rce (e.g. TV) are passed on to the AMBEO Soundbar.
