; Sounds may be breaking due to
interference by radio frequency or electronic devices nearby. Keep such devices away from the Soundbar to avoid radio interference. Example: microwave ovens.
; Because the device to connect is far away
from the Soundbar, sound breaking may occur. Move the device near the Soundbar.
; If a part of your body is in contact with the
Bluetooth transceiver or the product is installed on metal furniture, sound breaking may occur. Check the installation environment and conditions for use.
In case the Soundbar is not turned on as soon as the TV is turned on
