IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Your Unit is designed and manufactured to operate within deﬁned design limits, and misuse may result in electric shock or ﬁre. To prevent your Unit from being damaged, the following rules should be observed for its installation, use, and maintenance. Please read the following safety instructions before operating your Unit. Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.

• Read these instructions.

• Keep these instructions.

• Heed all warnings.

• Follow all instructions.

• Do not use this apparatus near water.

• Clean only with a dry cloth.

• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including ampliﬁers) that produce heat.

• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not ﬁt into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, par ticularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

• Only use attachments/accessories speciﬁed by the manufacturer.

• Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table speciﬁed by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

• Refer all servicing to qualiﬁed service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when the power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch off the power before connecting other components to your Unit.

• Unplug the power cord before cleaning your Unit. A damp cloth is sufﬁcient for cleaning. Do not use a liquid or a spray cleaner on your Unit. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

• Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer to insure compatibility.

• When moving your Unit from an area of low temperature to an area of high temperature, condensation may form in the housing. Wait before turning on your Unit to avoid causing ﬁre, electric shock, or component damage.

• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of your Unit and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place your Unit in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.

• Never push any object into the slots and openings on your Unit enclosure. Do not place any objects on the top of your Unit. Doing so could short circuit parts causing a ﬁre or electric shock. Never spill liquids on your Unit.

• When connected to a power outlet, power is always ﬂowing into your Unit. To totally disconnect power, unplug the power cord.

• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in ﬁre or electric shock

• The wall socket should be located near your Unit and be easily accessible.

• Keep your Unit away from moisture. Do not expose your Unit to rain or moisture. If water penetrates into your Unit, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer. Continuous use in this case may result in ﬁre or electric shock.

• Do not use your Unit if any abnormality occurs. If any smoke or odor becomes apparent, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer immediately. Do not try to repair your Unit yourself.

• Avoid using dropped or damaged appliances. If your Unit is dropped and the housing is damaged, the internal components may function abnormally. Unplug the power cord immediately and contact your dealer for repair. Continued use of your Unit may cause ﬁre or electric shock.

• Do not install your Unit in an area with heavy dust or high humidity. Operating your Unit in environments with heavy dust or high humidity may cause ﬁre or electric shock.

• Ensure that the power cord and any other cables are unplugged before moving your Unit.

• When unplugging your Unit, hold the power plug, not the cord. Pulling on the power cord may damage the wires inside the cord and cause ﬁre or electric shock. When your Unit will not be used for an extended period of time, unplug the power cord.

• To reduce risk of electric shock, do not touch the connector with wet hands.

• Insert the remote control batteries in accordance with instructions. Incorrect polarity may cause the battery to leak which can damage the remote control or injure the operator.

• See the important note and rating located on the back of the unit.

• WARNING - This equipment is not waterproof. To prevent a ﬁre or shock hazard, do not place any container ﬁlled with liquid near the equipment (such as a vase or ﬂower pot) or expose it to dripping, splashing, rain, or moisture.

• CAUTION - Danger of explosion or ﬁre if batteries are mistreated. Replace only with the same or speciﬁed type.

• Do not leave the batteries exposed to direct sunlight for a long period of time with doors and windows closed. Do not disassemble the batteries or dispose of it in ﬁre.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of ﬁre or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

3. Play audio from your Bluetooth device. Volume can be controlled on your source device and the Sound Bar.

USING BLUETOOTH MODE

Your Sound Bar supports music streaming from smartphones, tablets, and computers with Bluetooth capability. Device compatibility will vary, see your device’s documentation for more information.

Once you have paired your source device to the Sound Bar, as long as you stay within range of the Sound Bar, your device should remain paired, even if you change the input on the Sound Bar.

Note: Your Sound Bar is not equipped with a microphone, and therefore cannot operate as a hands-free device for a smartphone.

Did you know?

Your Sound Bar has aptX® built-in, allowing it to deliver the same audio quality as a wired connection, wirelessly over Bluetooth®.*

Maximizing Signal

A Bluetooth signal has a range of up to 30 feet. Keep in mind that Bluetooth is a compressed audio format, so streamed music may lose some integrity when compared to a wired connection.

Try the following if your sound quality is less than optimal:

• If you hear any break-up or disconnect while

streaming music from your device, move the source device closer to the Sound Bar.

• Be sure that there are no solid obstructions in

the line-of-sight between the Sound Bar and the source device.

• Other wireless devices can affect Bluetooth

range, including wireless security cameras, wireless video baby monitors, cordless phones, and microwave ovens. Turning off or moving these devices may improve Bluetooth range.

* Source Bluetooth playback device must be enabled with aptX® technology.

ADVANCED SETUP

HELP & TROUBLESHOOTING

• Press the POWER button on the remote control or on the side of your Sound Bar.

There is no power.

There is no sound.

I hear buzzing or humming.

• Ensure the power cord is securely connected.

• Plug a different device into the electrical outlet to verify that the outlet is working correctly.

• Increase the volume. Press Volume Up on the remote control or on the side of your Sound Bar.

• Press MUTE on the remote to ensure the Sound Bar is not muted.

• Press INPUT on the remote or on the side of your Sound Bar to select a different input source.

• On digital inputs, the input LEDs will ﬂash rapidly if an unsupported format is present. Set the source to output PCM.

• Your TV may be set to variable audio output. Conﬁrm that the audio output setting is set to FIXED or STANDARD, not VARIABLE. Consult your TV’s user manual for more detailed information.

• If using Bluetooth, ensure that the volume on your source device is turned up and that the device is not muted.

• Ensure all cables and wires are securely connected.

• Connect a different source device (TV, Blu-ray player, etc) to see if the buzzing persists. If it does not, the problem may be with the original device.

• Connect your device to a different input on the Sound Bar.

The remote isn’t working.

• Replace the remote batteries with new ones.

• Point the remote directly at the center of the Sound Bar when pressing a button.
