circumstances:
– If there is a strong electrical eld around the Soundbar.
– If several Bluetooth devices are simultaneously paired with the Soundbar.
– If the Bluetooth device is turned off, not in place, or malfunctions.
• Electronic devices may cause radio interference. Devices that generate electromagnetic waves
must be kept away from the Soundbar main unit - e.g., microwaves, wireless LAN devices, etc.
• The Soundbar supports SBC data (44.1kHz, 48kHz).
• Connect only to a Bluetooth device that supports the A2DP (AV) function.
• You cannot connect the Soundbar to a Bluetooth device that supports only the HF (Hands Free)
function.
• When connecting the Soundbar to a Bluetooth device, place them as close to each other as possible.
• The farther the Soundbar and Bluetooth device are from each other, the lower the sound quality
will become.
The Bluetooth connection may break when the devices are out of the effective range.
• The Bluetooth connection may not function as intended in areas with poor reception.
• A Bluetooth device may experience noise or malfunction under in the following conditions:
– When the body is in contact with the signal transceiver on the Bluetooth device or Soundbar
– In corners or when there is an obstacle in proximity, such as a wall or partition, where electrical
changes may occur.
– When exposed to radio interferences by other products operating on the same frequency
ranges, such as medical equipment, microwave ovens, and wireless LAN devices.
– Obstacles such as doors and walls may still impact the sound quality even when the devices
are within the effective range.
• Note that your Soundbar cannot be paired with other Bluetooth devices while using the Bluetooth
option.
• This wireless device may cause electrical interference during operation.
