Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your soundbar, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power | Power cable not connected; Power outlet not active. | Ensure power cable is securely connected. Test the outlet with another device. |
| No sound | Incorrect input selected; Volume too low; Audio cable not connected properly; TV audio output settings incorrect. | Select the correct input source. Increase volume. Check all audio cable connections. For optical connection, ensure TV audio output is set to PCM. |
| Bluetooth pairing fails | Soundbar not in pairing mode; Device too far; Interference. | Ensure soundbar is in Bluetooth pairing mode. Move device closer to soundbar. Turn off other Bluetooth devices. |
| Remote control not working | Batteries depleted; Obstruction between remote and soundbar; Remote sensor blocked. | Replace remote batteries (2 AAA). Remove any obstructions. Ensure remote is pointed at the soundbar's front panel. |
| Interference from other remotes | Infrared signals from other devices (e.g., TV remote) are similar. | Reposition the soundbar or the interfering device. If possible, place the soundbar where its sensor is not directly in line with other remote signals. |
| Sound cuts out intermittently (Auto-silence feature) | The soundbar may have an automatic power-saving feature that mutes or powers off during periods of low or no audio input. | This is a design characteristic.
