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 ampliers) 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 t into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

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

• Only use attachments/accessories specied by the manufacturer.

• Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specied 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 qualied 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 sufcient 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 re, 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 re or electric shock. Never spill liquids on your Unit.

• The power cord must be replaced when using different voltage than the voltage specied. For more information, contact your dealer.

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

• The lightning ash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of un-isolated, dangerous voltage within your Unit that may be of sufcient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

• The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and servicing instructions in the literature accompanying your Unit.

• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in re 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 re 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 re 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 re 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 re 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 battery 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 bottom of the unit.

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

• CAUTION - Danger of explosion or re if battery is mistreated. Replace only with the same or specied type.

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

• Disconnect the mains plug to shut off when you experience trouble or the device is not in use. The mains plug shall remain readily operable.

HELP & TROUBLESHOOTING

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

There is no power.

There is no sound from

the Sound Bar.

I hear buzzing or

humming.

How do I listen to

SRS TruSurround or

Dolby Digital?

• Ensure the power cords are securely connected.

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

• To conserve power, the Sound Bar shuts off automatically after 30 minutes if not in use.

• If an optional subwoofer is connected, turn the power switch to on.

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

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

• Select a different input source (Analog or Digital).

• Be sure the audio cable coming from the TV is connected to an audio output, not an audio input.

• 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.

• To activate SRS TSHD, press the Menu button the remote and use the arrow keys to scroll to the TSHD screen to toggle between on and off.

• To listen to Dolby Digital, your device must be playing content in Dolby Digital format. Dolby Digital is only available over Digital Coaxial, or Digital Optical connections.

When should I use

Night Mode or SRS

TruVolume™?

I would like to adjust the

sound on the Sound Bar.

I want to return my

Sound Bar to factory

settings.

• Night Mode reduces bass output of the sound bar so that listening to the bar is less likely to disturb others. SRS TruVolume™ reduces high volume content like commercials and increases low volume content, like dialog, so that you have a more uniform listening experience. Night Mode and SRS TruVolume can be turned on independently or together.

• Adjust the bass and treble levels by pressing the Menu button on the remote and adjusting the settings.

• Try enabling/disabling SRS TruSurround by pressing the Menu button on the remote and adjusting the settings.

• Disable Night Mode if bass level is too low by pressing the Menu button on the remote and adjusting the settings.

• Press and hold the Power, Volume Up, and Volume Down buttons on the Sound Bar for 10 seconds to return it to its factory default settings.

INFORMATION ON HEARING DAMAGE

Understanding Noise Induced Hearing Loss

Exposure to loud sounds can damage your hearing, causing hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears). While a variety of things can lead to hearing loss, including aging and side effects of certain medications, the most common cause of non-age-related hearing damage is loud noise. Extremely loud sounds, such as gun shots or recrackers at close range, can cause immediate hearing damage. Hearing damage can also occur over time due to repeated exposure to loud sounds such as industrial noise or loud music. With continued exposure to loud noises, ears may become accustomed to the sound level, which may result in permanent damage to hearing without any noticeable discomfort.

Temporary and Permanent Hearing Loss

Noise induced hearing loss and tinnitus may be temporary or permanent. Ears typically recover from temporary hearing damage in a short time. However, ears may not recover completely, and some damage may be permanent. Repeated exposure to loud sound can cause more and more damage, and eventually lead to serious hearing problems. Scientists generally agree that, over time, exposure to harmful levels of noise can lead to permanent noise induced hearing loss by damaging and/ or destroying the inner ear’s sensory hair cells.

Loud Sounds + Time = Hearing Loss

The more time you spend exposed to loud sounds, the more likely you are to damage your hearing. All of the loud sounds that you are exposed to during a day add up continued exposure to loud sounds can prevent your ears from recovering and also cause additional damage.

Symptoms of Hearing Loss

While not all noise induced hearing loss is noticeable, symptoms may include a sensation of pressure or fullness in your ears, ringing in your ears, or mufed speech. If you experience these symptoms or believe you may have experienced noise induced hearing loss, you should have your hearing checked by an ear doctor or audiologist.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Do not use volatile solvents (such as toluene, rosin, or alcohol) to clean this product. Such chemicals may damage it. Do not spray cleaners directly on the product. To clean this product, gently wipe it with a clean, dry, soft cloth.
