Sound bar preparation

To mount the sound bar on the wall

Caution:



Be very careful to prevent the sound bar 3.7 kg from falling
when mounting on the wall.



Before mounting, check the wall strength. (Do not put on
the veneer plaster or whitewashed wall. The sound bar
may fall.) If unsure, consult a qualifi ed service technician.



Mounting screws are not supplied. Use appropriate ones.



Check all wall mount angle screws for looseness.



Select a good location. If not, accidents may occur or the
sound bar may get damaged.



SHARP is not responsible for accidents resulting
from improper installation.

 Driving screws

SHARP designed the sound bar so you may hang them
on the wall. Use proper screws (not supplied). See below
for size and type.

Notes:

 The front panel of the sound bar is not removable.
 The transmission distance of the wireless signal

between the subwoofer and sound bar is about
(32 feet)

, but may vary depending on your operating
environment. If a steel-concrete or metallic wall is
between the subwoofer and the sound bar, the system
may not operate at all, because the wireless signal
cannot penetrate metal.

Caution:

 Do not change the installation direction when the

sound bar is turned on.

 Do not stand or sit on the sound bar and subwoofer as

you may be injured.

 Do not allow any objects to fall into or to be placed in

the bass refl ex duct.

 IR (Infrared) transmitter connection

If the TV’s remote sensor is blocked by the sound bar, use the IR transmitter to relay the signal to the T V.

1. Connect the IR transmitter to IR out terminal to allow the T V’s remote signal to pass through.

2. Place the infrared emitter near TV’s remote sensor (refer the operation manual of the TV for the location of the
sensor ).
Point the T V’s remote control at the sound bar remote sensor and operate the TV.
You may need to move the IR transmitter until the TV operates correctly.
Then secure the IR transmitter onto the sound bar using the double sided tape provided.

Note:

 Do not use the IR transmitter if the TV’s remote control sensor is not blocked by the sound bar.



To listen to the sound from a non-ARC- compatible TV, connect the audio output from TV to this system’s. (refer this page)



This sound bar can be operated (power on /off or volume up/down) via a TV or similar component which supports HDMI CEC
(Consumer Electronics Control). If this does not work, it does not mean this system is faulty. Refer to the operation manual of the
respective component on how to activate the CEC.
Example: Go to the Menu of the component to search and enable the CEC. Different brands may have different naming for the CEC.
For SHARP LCD TV, it is named as AQUOS LINK.



The system will automatically power of f if TV or similar component which supports HDMI CEC, is turned off.



CEC is not available during Low power consumption mode.



To listen to the sound from this system, you will need to press the
speaker output settings within the TV menu.
For details, refer to the operation manual of the T V.



If you are unable to select ex ternal speaker setting from the TV menu (E.g. For SHARP LCD TV, it is named as AQUOS
AUDIO SP), turn the CEC OFF and ON again.



To enjoy 3D images, this system must be connected to a 3D- compatible T V and components (3D BD player, etc.) via High Speed
HDMI cables. Put on the 3D glasses, otherwise 3D images may not be viewed properly.

terminal connection from a TV-Set/DVD/Blu-ray Disc Player. In such case, please change the connection to the
HDMI/ARC or headphone terminal connection. This effect depends on the used TV/DVD/Blu-ray Disc Player­Brand, model and age, and it is not a qualit y matter from the sound bar.

1 Open the battery cover.
2 Insert the batteries according to the direction

indicated in the battery compartment.

When inserting or removing the battery, push them
towards the battery terminals.

3 Close the battery cover.

Caution:

 Remove the batter y if the sound bar will not be used

battery, etc.).

 Installing the batter y incorrectly may cause the sound

bar to malfunction.

 Batteries (battery pack or bat tery installed) shall not

be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fi re
or the like.

Notes concerning use:

 Replace the bat tery if the oper ating distance is reduc ed

or if the operation becomes erratic. Purchase 2 “AAA”
size battery (UM -4, R03, HP-16 or similar).

 Periodically clean the transmitter on the remote control

and the sensor on the sound bar with a soft cloth.

 Exposing the sensor on the sound bar to strong light

may interfere with operation. Change the lighting or the
direction of the sound bar.

interruption may be heard due to interference.

 Th e transmission dista nce of the wireles s signal betwe en

the subwoofer and sound bar is about 10m (32 feet), but
may vary depending on your operating environment. If a
steel-concrete or metallic wall is between the subwoofer

Bluetooth

one touch connection via NFC

 About NFC technology

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a set of standards for
devices (smartphones/tablets) to establish radio communi ­cation with each other by touching /tapping them together or
bringing them into close proximity.
Using NFC in this product simplifi es the pairing method of
Bluetooth connectivity.

 This audio system supports NFC-enabled device

with Android 4.1, Jelly Bean and higher.

 For device with a lower Android version, refer the

operation manual of the device for recommended
app (application).

Unlike other wireless technology, NFC requires no
discover y or pairing.
Simply tap the source device to the NFC detection area
on the subwoofer or NFC tag to instantly enjoy seamless
connectivity between your smart device and the audio
system.

 NFC detection area

NFC detection area location may vary depending on the
device (smartphone / tablet). Refer operation manual of the
device for detail.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range radio
technology that enables wireless communication between
various types of digital devices, such as mobile phone or
computer. It operates within a range of about 10 meters (30
feet) without the hassle of having to use cables to connect
these devices.

This unit supports the following :

Communication System: Bluetooth Specifi cation version

2.1 Bluetooth + Enhanced Data Rate (EDR ).

Suppor t Profi le : A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profi le)
and AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profi le)

Notes when using unit with a mobile phone



This unit cannot be used to talk over the telephone even
when there is a Bluetooth connection made to a mobile
phone.



Please refer to the operating manual supplied with the
mobile phone for details on operation of your mobile
phone whilst transmitting the sound using a Bluetooth
connection.

 Pairing

Bluetooth devices need to be initially paired fi rst before they
can exchange data. Once paired, it is not necessary to pair
them again unless:



Pairing is made with more than 8 devices. Pairing can
only be made one device at a time. This unit can be
paired to a maximum of 8 devices. If subsequent device
is paired, the oldest device paired, will be deleted and
replaced with the new one.



This unit is reset. All pairing information is deleted when
