Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of an Insignia Soundbar Home Theater
Speaker with Bluetooth. The soundbar is designed to be suitable for use with
today’s flat panel TVs. It features a variety of connections, including
Bluetooth, and it can either be mounted on the wall or placed on a TV stand.
This user guide explains how to correctly install, operate, and get the best
performance from your soundbar. Read this user guide carefully before
installing your system, and then keep it handy for quick reference.
Important safety instructions

2 Keep these instructions.
3 Heed all warnings.

Soundbar Home Theater Speaker with Bluetooth
4 Follow all instructions.
5 Do not use this apparatus near water.
6 Clean only with dry cloth.
7 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
8 Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug.
A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A
grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The
wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided
plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of
the obsolete outlet.
10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
apparatus.
11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12 Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the
cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required
when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when the
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or
moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this device to
rain, moisture, dripping, or splashing, and no objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, shall be placed on it.
16 An apparatus with a three-prong, grounding-type plug is a Class I
apparatus, which needs to be grounded to prevent possible electric
shock. Make sure that you connect any Class I device to a grounding-type,
three-prong outlet.
17 DO NOT overload wall outlets or extension cords beyond their rated
capacity as this can cause electric shock or fire.
18 The wall plug is the disconnecting device. The plug must remain readily
operable.
19 No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the
apparatus.
20 The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation
openings with items, such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.

21 The remote control supplied with this product contains a coin/button cell
battery. If the coin/button cell battery is swallowed, it can cause severe
internal burns in just 2 hours and can lead to death.
22 Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire,
or the like.
Warning
Danger of explosion if the remote control battery is
incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type.
23 Keep new and used batteries away from children.
24 If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the
product and keep it away from children.
25 If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any
part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an
equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence
of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a
risk of electrical shock to persons.
The exclamation point, within an equilateral triangle, is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the product.
Placement
• The soundbar cabinet is made out of plastic and is therefore sensitive to
extreme temperatures and humidity. Do not put it in locations subject to
direct sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air conditioner,
humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.
• Do not put water or other liquids close to the soundbar. If liquid is spilled on
top of the soundbar, it may be damaged.
• The soundbar should be placed on a sturdy, flat surface that is free from
vibration, or mounted on a wall. Do not put the soundbar on an uneven or
unstable surface, where it may fall and cause damage.
Using close to a TV or computer
Some older TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive devices.
They are likely to suffer discoloration or picture distortion when conventional
speakers are placed nearby. If discoloration problems persist, try moving the
soundbar away from your TV or monitor.

Cautions
• Do not spill water or any liquid on the remote
control.
• Do not place the remote control on a wet
surface.
• Do not place the remote control in direct
sunlight or near sources of excessive heat.
• If the remote control is not going to be used for
a long time, remove the battery to avoid any
damage that may be caused by leakage and
corrosion.
Programming a universal remote
Note
To control your soundbar's volume you can use an
Insignia TV remote or program a universal remote.
Insignia TV remotes and universal remotes will not be
able to change your soundbar's audio source or DSP
sound mode. Use the controls on your soundbar or
the remote that came with it to change these
settings.
If you program your universal remote to an Insignia TV, it will control your
soundbar’s volume. To program your remote:
1 Go to www.insigniaproducts.com/remotecodes.
2 Find your remote's brand from the list of remote codes.
3 Follow the directions that came with your remote to program a remote
code. If several remote codes are provided, you may need to try several
until you find one that works.
Note: Make sure that you program the soundbar to a device on your
remote that is not in use.
