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.

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.
