Place on a secure, flat surface. Attach the included rubber feet to the base and make sure no other area of the bottom of the soundbar is touching the surface.

Vertical

Place on a secure, flat surface. Make sure the soundbar is standing on its base stands and no other area of the bottom of the soundbar is touching the surface.

Wall Mounted

Wall mounting instructions are on the following pages.

• Wall-mounted installation must be carried out by qualified personnel only. Incorrect assembly can result in severe personal injury and property damage! If you intend to install this product yourself, you must check for installations such as electrical wiring and plumbing, which may be hidden inside or behind the wall.
• It is the installer's responsibility to verify and confirm that the wall will safely support the total load of the soundbar and wall brackets.
• Additional tools (not included) are required for the installation.
• Do not overtighten screws.
• Use an electronic stud finder to check the wall type before drilling and mounting.

Wall Mounting Instructions

1. Fix the supplied wall-mounting brackets to the bracket fixing holes on the back of the soundbar with the supplied short screws.
2. Use a pencil to make drill hole marks on the wall for the anchors. Make sure the marks are level before drilling. Use a 6mm bit and power drill (not supplied) to drill holes on the marks.
3. Insert plastic anchors into the holes and push in until they are flush with the wall. Drive the screws into the plastic anchors and tighten until the screw head is approximately 3mm from the wall.
4. Slide the soundbar onto the screws which are fixed to the wall. Make sure the soundbar is secure and attached firmly to the wall.

Connect to Power

Make sure the power switch is switched off at the power outlet until you have finished connecting your cables.

Don't forget to plug in the soundbar to the power outlet. Leave the power switched off until installation is finished.

2. HDMI (ARC) (SOUND): The ARC (Audio Return Channel) function allows you to send audio input from an ARC-compliant TV to an ARC-compliant audio device (e.g. soundbar) without the need for an additional audio cable connection.

3. OPTICAL (SOUND): Connect an optical cable (not included) to the optical out socket of your device (e.g. TV, DVD player) and the optical socket on the soundbar.

4. AUX IN (SOUND): Use the supplied 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable to connect the headphone socket of the connected audio device, such as a media player, to the AUX socket on the soundbar.

5. Subwoofer Pairing (SUB): Refer to pages 14-15 for information on pairing the subwoofer (if required).

6. USB (STORAGE): Play your stored media files (supported file codecs and extensions may vary).

HDMI (ARC): To use the ARC function, make sure the soundbar's HDMI (ARC) socket is connected via a HDMI cable (not included) to the HDMI (ARC) socket of your ARC compliant TV. Then just use your TV's remote control to adjust the volume output (VOL +/– and MUTE) of the connected audio device. In the TV settings menu, turn on the ARC and CEC function (when CEC is turned on, the sound bar will turn on/off automatically when the TV is turned on/off).

When you use ARC or Optical connection to your TV or DVD, the audio output in the TV or DVD settings menu must be set to PCM mode (instead of Auto mode, RAW mode etc.).

Pairing the Wireless Subwoofer With the Soundbar

Automatic pairing

• The subwoofer and soundbar will automatically pair when they are both plugged into the mains sockets and turned on. No cable is needed for connecting the two.
• When the subwoofer is pairing with the soundbar, the pair indicator will flash fast.
• When the subwoofer is paired with the soundbar, the pair indicator will light up.

NOTE: Do not press the pair button on the rear of the subwoofer, except for manual pairing. If the automatic pairing fails, pair the subwoofer with the soundbar manually.

Manual Pairing

1. Ensure that all the cables are connected and both the soundbar and subwoofer are on.
2. Press and hold the PAIR button on the back of the soundbar and the PAIR button on the subwoofer for 2 seconds - they will clear the pairing status, and the subwoofer's pair indicator will blink quickly.
3. Press the PAIR button on the back of the soundbar, and the soundbar will then auto-search for the subwoofer.
4. Once the soundbar and subwoofer are successfully paired, the subwoofer's pair indicator LED will illuminate.

• If the pair indicator LED blinks, it indicates that the connection has failed. Unplug the cable of the subwoofer and reconnect after 3 minutes. Then repeat steps 1-4.
• If the wireless connection fails again, check if there is conflict or strong interference (for example, interference from an electronic device) around your location. Remove these conflicts or strong interferences and repeat the above procedures.
• The subwoofer should be within 6m of the soundbar in an open area.
• If the soundbar is not connected with the subwoofer and it is on, the subwoofer's pair indicator will flash. Follow steps 1-4 above to pair the subwoofer to the soundbar.

Remote Control

Setup

To activate the battery and use the remote control, pull out the plastic tab that separates the battery from the contacts inside the compartment.

Battery Replacement

If the remote control is no longer working even when it is operated near the soundbar, you will need to replace the battery with a new battery of the same type.

1. Remove the screw with a screwdriver.
2. Push in the tab and pull out the battery tray. Remove the old battery and insert a fresh CR2025 battery with the (+) marking facing upwards.
3. Push the battery tray with the battery back into the slot and re-install the screw.

Precautions When Using Batteries

• Do not use old and new batteries together.
• Do not use different types of batteries (e.g. Manganese and Alkaline batteries) together.
• Remove the batteries from the remote if you do not intend to use it for a long time.
• When discarding used batteries, follow any guidelines for recycling and disposal of batteries that apply in your local area.
• Keep batteries away from children and pets.
• Never throw batteries into a fire or expose them to extreme heat.

WARNING! Keep batteries out of reach of children. Swallowing may lead to serious injury or death in as little as 2 hours due to internal burns. If swallowed, go straight to a hospital emergency room. Dispose of used batteries immediately.

Using the Remote Control

Bluetooth®

You can listen to tracks from a media device if connected to the soundbar via Bluetooth® wireless technology.

Pairing Bluetooth® Devices

The first time you use your Bluetooth® device with the soundbar, you will need to pair them with one another.

Activate Bluetooth® on your compatible device, and set it to search for compatible devices. Select 'ASBWS-0620' from the list of found devices.

Note: Only one playback unit can be connected to the soundbar. If the soundbar is already connected to another playback unit, the soundbar will not appear in the Bluetooth® selection list. To disconnect the existing paired device, press and hold the button on the remote for 3 seconds.

If your device asks for a passkey (depending on the device manufacturers, model, and software version), then enter digits “0000” and press OK.

The operational range between this soundbar and a Bluetooth® device is approximately 8 metres (without any object between the Bluetooth® enabled device and the soundbar). Any obstacle between the devices can reduce the operational range.

Before you connect a Bluetooth® enabled device to this soundbar, ensure you know the device's capabilities. Compatibility with all Bluetooth® devices is not guaranteed.

If the signal strength is weak, your Bluetooth® receiver may disconnect, but it will re-enter pairing mode automatically.

If a mobile phone on which you are playing music receives a call, the music will be interrupted. The phone call audio however is not played via the speaker. Once you end the call, the devices are connected to each other again and playback resumes.

Your device will also be disconnected when your device is moved beyond the operational range. If you want to reconnect your device, place it within the operational range.

If the connection is lost, follow the instructions (left) to pair your device to the player again.

Bluetooth® Playback

NOTE: Play/Pause and Skip/Rewind are subject to your mobile device or your APP support.
