Installing the Soundbar

Installing the Wall Mount

++Installation Precautions

●● Install on a vertical wall only.

●● For the installation, avoid a location with high temperature or humidity, or a wall that cannot sustain the weight of the set.

●● Check the strength of the wall. If the wall is not strong enough to support the unit, reinforce the wall or install the unit on a different wall that can support the unit's weight.

●● Purchase and use the fixing screws or anchors appropriate for the kind of wall you have (plaster board, iron board, wood, etc.). If possible, fix the support screws into wall studs.

●● Purchase wall mounting screws according to the type and thickness of the wall you will mount the Soundbar on.

-- Diameter: M5

-- Length: 35 mm or longer recommended.

●● Connect cables from the unit to external devices before you install it on the wall.

●● Make sure the unit is turned off and unplugged before you install it. Otherwise, it may cause an electric shock.

5 cm or more

1.Place the Wall Mount Guide against the wall surface.

•The Wall Mount Guide must be level.

•If the TV is mounted on the wall, install the Soundbar at least 5 cm below the TV.

●● The maximum transmission distance of the wireless signal between the main unit and subwoofer is about 10 meters, 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 1-5 on the previous page 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.

++More About Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a technology that enables Bluetooth-compliant devices to interconnect easily with each other using a short wireless connection.

●● A Bluetooth device may cause noise or malfunction, depending on usage, if:

-- A part of your body is in contact with the receiving/transmitting system of the Bluetooth device or the Soundbar.

-- It is subject to electrical variation from obstructions caused by a wall, corner, or office partition.

-- It is exposed to electrical interference from same frequency-band devices including medical equipment, microwave ovens, and wireless LANs.

●● Pair the Soundbar with the Bluetooth device while they are close together.

●● The further the distance between the Soundbar and Bluetooth device, the worse the quality is. If the distance exceeds the Bluetooth operational range, the connection is lost.

●● In poor reception areas, the Bluetooth connection may not work properly.

●● The Bluetooth connection only works when it is close to the unit. The connection will be automatically cut off if the Bluetooth device is out of range. Even within range, the sound quality may be degraded by obstacles such as walls or doors.

●● This wireless device may cause electric interference during its operation.
