Troubleshooting

Problem: No Power

• Cause: Power is off.

Problem: Low Volume / Mute

• Cause: Volume is low or muted on the source device or soundbar.
• Solution: Increase volume on the source device, remote, or soundbar. Unmute the source device.

Problem: No Audio (Digital Inputs)

• Cause: TV audio output settings are incorrect.
• Solution: Change TV output to PCM. Select a different input source. Connect directly to another device (Blu-Ray, Game System, etc.). Set TV audio output to fixed or standard, NOT variable.

Problem: Bluetooth Breakup or Disconnect

• Cause: Subwoofer/soundbar too far apart, obstructions, or interference from other wireless devices.
• Solution: Move the subwoofer closer to the soundbar (within 5m). Move the source device closer to the soundbar or into its line-of-sight. Turn off or move away interfering devices (wireless security cameras, video baby monitors, cordless phones, microwave ovens).

Problem: No Audio (General)

• Cause: Input source not selected correctly, or TV audio output not compatible.
• Solution: Ensure the correct input source is selected. Check TV audio output settings (some TVs do not pass through digital audio).
