OVER

NOTES:

• Some devices, such as an iPhone, connect immediately after pairing so the Bluetooth indicator on your soundbar remains on. Other devices, such as notebook computers, may ask you if you wish to connect. In this instance, the Bluetooth indicator continues to blink until a connection is established.

• Your soundbar saves pairing information for up to eight devices. However, it can only be connected and playing content from one device at a time.

• When you turn on your soundbar, it automatically connects to the last connected device if that device is in range. To connect to a dierent paired device, you have to turn o Bluetooth or unpair from the currently paired device and manually connect to the other paired device.

6 Use your Bluetooth device to control music playback, and the Vol +/- on your Bluetooth device and your

soundbar or remote control to adjust the volume.

To receive a phone call while playing music:

• When a call is received while playing music through a phone, the music will stop automatically.

• When the call ends, depending on the setting of your phone, the current track may resume playback.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Check this list for a possible troubleshooting solution before calling for service (877-467-4289). Also, check the online FAQs at www.insigniaproducts.com.

PROBLEM

The power does not come on.

The remote control does not work.

No sound or very low-level sound is heard from the soundbar.

Your soundbar is not working properly.

The sound is breaking up or buzzing.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

• Make sure that the AC adapter is securely plugged into the power outlet and the soundbar.

• Remove any obstacles between the remote control and the IR sensor on the soundbar.

• The remote control battery is exhausted, replace it.

• Point the remote control at the IR sensor on the soundbar.

• Move closer to the soundbar. The remote control is only eective to approximately 23 ft.

• Make sure that the volume level of the soundbar or your component is set to an adequate level.

• Make sure that the volume level is not muted. Press the (mute) button on the remote control again to restore the sound output.

• Make sure the correct audio source is selected. Press the button repeatedly to switch to the correct audio source.

• Make sure that the power is on and all connections are secure.

• Make sure that the audio cable is connected to the audio output (not the audio input) of the source device.

• If you are connected to an MP3 player, make sure that the volume is turned up on the MP3 player.

• Unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet and then try plugging it in again after 30 seconds.

• Make sure all connections are secure and cables are not broken or damaged.

• If you are using the OPTICAL IN connection, make sure the source device’s audio source is set to “PCM” format.

Refer to the documentation your received with the audio source device (such as a TV, DVD/Blu-ray player, etc.) for

additional information.

• Connect to a dierent source device (such as a TV, DVD/Blu-ray player) to see if the buzzing still occurs. If it does not, this may be an issue with the original source device.

• Use a dierent connection method (for example, try Optical instead of AUX) between the soundbar and the source device to make sure the jacks on both devices are still working.

MOUNTING YOUR SOUNDBAR ON A WALL (OPTIONAL)

YOU WILL NEED:

Wall mounting template

NOTE: Mounting instructions are also provided on the wall mounting template.

level (A), then tape the template to the wall (B).

3 Drill two holes into the wall, where the template indicates, then remove the template. 4 Install wall anchors (not included) into the holes you drilled, using the instructions that came with

your anchors.
