PROBLEMS? You may need to clear the Bluetooth

hold Bluetooth AND Source buttons for 3 seconds,

There is no sound from the
subwoofer
Check that power to subwoofer
is ON. Restart soundbar. If the
wireless subwoofer error light on
the sound bar is solid red, please
follow “pairing the subwoofer”
instructions above.
No Sound from optical (TV) source,
No Sound from optical Set-Top-Box
(STB) source,
Loud noise when watching HD
channels on optical
Please check your TV or STB
settings. Make sure that the
optical output format is set to
‘STEREO’ or ‘PCM’ format. This
is the correct format for the
sound bar.
(Factory reset) I need to reset my
settings
Press and hold SRC and POWER
on the soundbar for 3 seconds.
All lights will ash to show a
reset has happened.
I cannot make my soundbar learn
from my remote. When I complete
learning process, no lights ash.
Please note: Not all remotes
are supported with our learning
process. Check the website for
compatability information. If
your remote should work but is
not, make sure you are aiming
the remote at the IR receiver
(near the light panel). Make sure
you tap the key on the remote
to be learned once when shown
to by the sound bar, and repeat
when shown.
Switching from TV to Bluetooth,
there is a big volume difference the TV is quiet.
Some TVs reduce the volume
of sound that comes out of
the optical port. You will need
higher volume settings on the
soundbar to compensate. This is
normal.
How do I position my soundbar to
get the best sound?
Simply make sure that the
side speakers are clear from
obstacles. The subwoofer is
wireless, but the best sound is
achieved when the subwoofer is
within 5m of the soundbar, and
in the same general area.
My remote control is not working
Ensure the battery protection
lm has been removed. Pull the
tab and remove.
The optical cable does not work
Please check the optical cable
and remove any protective
covers from connectors. Check
the optical output format is PCM
or STEREO on your source.
I’m using Bluetooth and sometimes
the sound is interrupted
Bluetooth is a short range
wireless technology. We
recommend you keep your
bluetooth device in the same
room as the sound bar and not
obstructed by walls or metallic
objects as they can block the
signal. Please do not place
other wireless devices such
as wireless routers, cordless
telephones and microwave
ovens close to your sound bar
as they can interfere with the
Bluetooth connection.
