Learn Feature
What is the Learn Feature?
This will teach the soundbar to function with a separate remote control, such as the remote for your television or
a universal remote. Teaching the bar speaker remote commands will reduce the number of remotes needed and
generally improve the ease of operation. Power, volume and mute are a examples of commands that the soundbar
can learn.
Note: While the soundbar is able to learn most commands and IR protocols, not all can be programmed. For example, bass
and treble may be commands that cannot be duplicated by another remote. Use the soundbar remote for these functions.
Using the Learn Feature
1. With the power OFF, press the Learn button on the soundbar. An indicator light will begin flashing red.
2. Press the button on the soundbar remote that you want the soundbar to learn. For example: Volume +
3. The red light will continue to flash while another indicator displays a blue light.
4. Press the corresponding button on the other remote.
5. The red light will continue to flash and another indicator will display a green light when the signal is received.
6. Press the Learn button on the soundbar to complete the set up. The programmed button on your remote will
now be able to control your sound bar. Note: It is necessary to program each button on your remote separately.
7. If the soundbar has failed to learn a command, the indicator will not display the green light. Try another button.
