CONNECTING THE WIRELESS SUBWOOFER

The Subwoofer's linking ID is preset at the factory and the main unit and subwoofer should
link (connect wirelessly) automatically when the main unit and subwoofer are turned on. If
the LINK indicator does not light when the main unit and subwoofer are turned on, please
set the ID by following the procedure below. Complete this process within 30 seconds after
the Link Indicator on the subwoofer starts blinking.

ENG

1. Plug the power cords of the main unit and subwoofer into an AC wall outlet.

2. Confirm that the main unit is off (in STANDBY Mode).

3. Press the ID SET button on the back of the subwoofer with a small, pointed object for

5 seconds.

● The LINK indicator (Blue LED) on the subwoofer blinks quickly.

4. While the main unit is powered off (in STANDBY mode), press and hold the MUTE

on the remote control for 5 seconds.

5. The ID SET message appears on the Soundbar's display.

6. To finalize the link, turn the main unit’s power on while the subwoofer’s LINK LED blinks.

● The main unit and the subwoofer should now be linked (connected).

● The LINK indicator (blue LED) on the subwoofer should be on and solid blue.

● If the LINK indicator is not solid blue, the linking process has failed. Turn off the main

unit and start again from Step 2.

( )

● You can enjoy better sound from the wireless subwoofer by selecting a Sound Effect.
(See page 11)

13

CONNECTIONS

● Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and
disconnect the power cord.

● If the main unit is powered off, the wireless subwoofer will be in standby mode
and the STANDBY LED on the upper side will come on after the LINK indicator
(Blue LED) blinks for 30 seconds.

● If you use a device that uses the same frequency (2.4GHz) as the Soundbar near
the Soundbar, interference may cause some sound interruption.

● The transmission distance of the wireless signal between the main unit and
subwoofer is about 33 ft., but may vary depending on your operating
environment. If a steel-concrete or metallic wall is between the main unit and the
wireless subwoofer, the system may not operate at all, because the wireless signal
cannot penetrate metal.

● If the main unit doesn't make a wireless connection, follow steps 1-6 to re-set the
connection between the main unit and wireless subwoofer.

● The wireless receiving antenna is built into the wireless subwoofer. Keep the unit
away from water and moisture.

● For optimal listening performance, make sure that the area around the wireless
subwoofer location is clear of any obstructions.

ATTACHING THE TOROIDAL FERRITE CORE TO THE
POWER CORD OF THE SUBWOOFER

You can reduce noise caused by electromagnetic radiation by fitting the ferrite core to the
power cord of your subwoofer.

2. Wind the power cable of your subwoofer

around the ferrite core twice.
(Start winding 2 to 4
the core).
