Placement Options

Tabletop Mounting

SoloCinema Studio comes with extra riser feet (two per side) that magnetically attach to the bar to raise it as much as 15.2 mm (5/8") off the tabletop so the bar will clear the TV’s protruding table stand.

Attach magnetic feet: Peel off the protective cover and expose the magnets. Attach the feet to the bottom edge of the sound bar.

What if the bar blocks your TV’s remote IR receiver?

Note: The SoloCinema Studio could block your TV’s remote “eye,” making it impossible to control the TV via remote control, so we supply an IR asher. Plug the asher into the bar’s IR output and position it in front of the TV’s eye.

IR INPUT

For custom installations: the IR input is more likely to be used with a home automation system, like Crestron or Control 4. This is often just an electrical connection to a piece of equipment.

IR OUTPUT

Caption: The LED side has an adhesive backing and can be mounted to the TV’s IR

Mounting the Sound Bar on the Wall

The SoloCinema Studio sound bar has built-in keyhole slots so you can wall-mount it beneath your wall-mounted television. Spacers are included to help secure and install your sound bar on the wall.

Note: DO NOT mount the sound bar directly to the wall. You must use the supplied wall-mount spacers to ensure proper operation and reliability.

Note: DO MAKE SURE you are using a wall anchors capable of supporting the sound bar.

812.8 mm [32"]

Tips For Wall Mounting the Sound Bar

Leveling the sound bar: Use a bubble level to make sure the bar is level. Mark holes with pencil, taking the keyhole slot measurement from the bar.

Drill Screw Holes in Wall: Pre-drill the pilot-hole locations for mounting screws (not included). Use screws rated to hold securely in the wall material and have screw heads at least 0.33" (8.5 mm) in diameter.

NOTE: Measure Twice Make sure the sound bar clears the ceiling, adjacent walls, corners, beams, lighting xtures and door/window frames. Leave at least 1-2" (25-50 mm) above the sound bar location to allow the sound bar to slide onto the screws. Make sure the center of the bar is centered with the TV screen’s center point.

Hang Sound bar on Posts: Line up the bar so that the screw heads slide into the keyhole slots. Slide the bar down so the screw heads hold the bar rmly in place.

Caption: The sound bar can be mounted on a wall with built-in keyhole slots for a total installed on-wall depth of only 3.8" (9.5 cm). Use the supplied rubber cups that hold the bar off the wall.

Connecting Your System

Connection Method #1:

All sources into your SoloCinema Studio via HDMI (recommended)

HDMI

Cable

The HDMI cable runs from the HDMI output of the SoloCinema Studio to an HDMI input on the TV set.

You will use the SoloCinema Studio remote for switching between the sources you have connected to the system (Blu-Ray player, cable box etc.). We recommend this method; it ensures the highest resolution audio and video signals for the best possible audio performance.

Note: For greater convenience, you can program the SoloCinema Studio

to respond to the power, volume, mute, and source select commands of your TV or cable box remote. See the “IR Learn” section of the OSD Set-up Menu Functions for instructions.

Connection Method #2:

All sources into your TV, with TOSLINK optical audio output from the TV set to the sound bar.

Opt OUT

Cable

The TV does all the switching between sources, and the sound bar is always set to INPUT #5.

Note: Most TV’s cannot pass a Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 channel audio signal through an optical audio output connection. They can only pass 2 channel stereo through Toslink. The SoloCinema Studio will simulate a surround experience, but it will not be as effective as when processing a true 5.1 digital surround signal. This hookup method offers convenience: most functions (including source switching) can be done through one remote control, such as your cable box or TV remote. But you won’t get the best system sound quality, or be able to use all of the features of the SoloCinema Studio, including your OSD (on-screen displays).

6 Definitive Technology ° Owings Mills, MD

Connection Method #3:

All sources into your TV with 3.5mm analog mini-jack to the sound bar.

Cable

Note: Some older TV’s have only an analog output connection. In this scenario, the TV does all the switching between sources and the SoloCinema Studio is always set to INPUT #4. A Dolby Digital or DTS digital audio signal cannot be passed through a TV’s analog output connection. The best audio signal quality that can be reproduced using this method is two-channel stereo audio. This method is the least-preferred connection method of the three described here.

Note: You can also connect a smartphone, tablet or other mp3 player using the 3.5mm mini jack to the sound bar.

Connection Method #4:

Bluetooth Streaming

The SoloCinema Studio is an excellent system for playing all kinds of music from smart phones, tablets and laptop PCs, thanks to the bar’s built-in Bluetooth streaming capability.

Bluetooth Source/Pairing: Press and hold the Bluetooth button on the sound bar to pair the sound bar with a Bluetooth device, or you can also press and hold the BT button on the remote to pair.

Note: Devices equipped with Near Field Communication (NFC) can pair with the SoloCinema Studio. Simply touch the device to the sound bar and they’re paired. Touch the device again, and it disconnects.

SYSTEM RESTORE DEFAULTS

Using High Speed HDMI Cables

We recommend using High Speed HDMI cables with the SoloCinema Studio. HDMI (High-Denition Multimedia Interface) is a digital alternative to analog connections between audio and video components. Using a single, standardized HDMI cable of 19 individual conductors allows the transmission of encrypted, uncompressed digital data. For example: a high-denition TV to a multichannel audio/video receiver and vice versa. The HDMI cable replaces many other analog cable types, such as composite video, coaxial cable, and standard audio cables, passing all of the following information:

 • Videosignals,includinghighresolutionformats

up to 1080p

 • Audiosignals,includingmultichannelaudioand

formats, such as Dolby that cannot be conducted by analog audio cables

 • Theautomaticmatchingofsourceswiththeproper

display information, so that format, aspect ratio and display are correct

An HDMI cable offers several benets: First, it makes connections clean and easy, with one cable. Second, audio and video performance improves. Because the HDMI cable passes information as digital data, it delivers the signal from one point (the SoloCinema sound bar) to another (the TV set) virtually intact, without the signal degradation found in analog transmission systems. When signals are transmitted over HDMI cable, it’s possible for the audio or video signal to “disappear” completely, rather than degrade slightly as would occur with analog cables.

HDMI cables are available in four types approved for home use by HDMI LLC:

1. Standard Speed

2. High Speed

3. Standard Speed with Ethernet

4. High Speed with Ethernet

The quality of the cable, the amount of data being sent and cable length determine the quality of the sound and picture. High Speed HDMI cables meet, or exceed, the maximum current data rate of 10.2 Gbps. They can transmit all of the data required for HDMI’s current features, including BluRay 3D, whereas Standard Speed cables cannot.

We also recommend that you keep your High Speed HDMI cable length to 30 feet (10 meters) or less. In our experience, longer cables cannot consistently maintain the High Speed HDMI standards required for high denition sources.

6. Q: Does the SoloCinema support 3D video?

Answer: Yes, via the HDMI 1.4a inputs and output to the TV.

7. Q: How do I set the crossover and channel balance settings?

Answer: You don’t need to make any crossover settings or

adjustments. SoloCinema Studio is a complete system, with subwoofer and main system crossover points already preset.

8. Q: Where should I put the subwoofer?

Answer: We encourage subwoofer experimentation! Your subwoofer

and room interact to create the bass that you hear and feel. In general, placing the subwoofer along the wall, or in a corner, will reinforce the bass response and create a better listening experience. The subwoofer is wireless, so try different places in the room until you are satised with the bass that you experience.

HDMI is an elegant, high performance way to connect audio/ video components. In rare circumstances, such issues as the ones listed above can occur. When you encounter problems like this, please try the following troubleshooting steps:
