Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your remote control, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Remote Not Responding:
- Ensure batteries are inserted correctly with the correct polarity (+/-).
- Replace old or depleted batteries with new ones.
- Check for any obstructions between the remote control and the sound bar's infrared (IR) receiver.
- Ensure you are within the effective operating range and pointing the remote directly at the sound bar.
- Intermittent Functionality:
- Weak batteries can cause inconsistent performance. Replace them.
- Bright light sources (e.g., direct sunlight, fluorescent lights) can interfere with IR signals. Try operating the remote in a different lighting condition.
- Specific Buttons Not Working:
- Clean the remote control buttons and surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dirt or residue that might be obstructing button presses.
- If only certain buttons fail, it might indicate a fault with the remote itself.

- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the remote control. Avoid using liquid cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the surface or internal components.
- Storage: Store the remote control in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
- Battery Care: If the remote control will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage, which can cause damage.
