First-Time Setup

1. CHOOSE ONE CABLE* AND CONNECT IT TO YOUR TV

• GOOD: 3.5mm AUX Cable
• BETTER: Digital Optical Cable

*To enjoy Dolby Audio content, your TV must support the HDMI-CEC and Audio Return Channel (ARC) function. Enable CEC and ARC functions on your TV. The setting method of CEC and ARC may differ by TV manufacturer. See your TV's user manual for more information. Only HDMI 1.4 compatible cables can support the ARC function. When the audio in a broadcast is encoded in Dolby Digital and the "Digital Output Audio Format" on your TV is set to PCM, we recommend you change the setting to Dolby Digital to experience better sound quality.

If you have a Roku TV™, simply plug in the HDMI cable to your TV's HDMI(ARC) port and follow the Roku TV Ready™ on-screen instructions.

Sound Setting Example:

Digital Audio Output: PCM

HDMI(ARC): ON

TV Speaker: OFF

Note: If the output volume is not loud enough, strongly recommend using Aux connection.

Note: When using either of the Digital Inputs, if there is no audio: (A) Try setting the TV output to PCM or (B) Connect directly to your Blu-ray/other source. Some TVs do not pass through digital audio.

Note: Not all TVs have the audio outputs shown above. To connect the Soundbar directly to your other devices (Blu-Ray player, game system, etc.), see your device's user manual.

2. Connect the power cable to the Soundbar AC IN as shown. Plug the power cable into an electrical outlet.

3. Take off the battery cover.

4. Insert the included batteries and put the battery cover back into place.

5. Press the SOURCE button to switch between audio sources. For example, if you connected your TV to AUX, set the Soundbar to AUX.

Soundbar Placement

For the best surround sound experience, position the Soundbar as shown. The Soundbar should be close to ear level.

Soundbar is centered below the TV.

(If your TV permits it, you can also slide the Soundbar underneath the TV.)

LED Indicator

The LED Indicator will behave differently with each button on the remote control.

Bluetooth Audio Pairing

To pair the Soundbar with a Bluetooth device:

1. Select the Bluetooth mode on the Soundbar: Use the remote control, press the Bluetooth button. The indicator light on the Soundbar will flash blue. Alternatively, press the source button on the Soundbar until the indicator light is flashing blue.
2. You can now search for the Soundbar (onn. 36" Soundbar) using your Bluetooth device. Your device is connected with the Soundbar when the blue indicator light stops flashing and becomes solid. For more information, refer to the user documentation that came with the device.
3. Play audio from your Bluetooth device. Volume can be controlled on your source device and the Soundbar.

Using Bluetooth Mode

Your Soundbar supports music streaming from smartphones, tablets, and computers with Bluetooth capability. Device compatibility will vary, see your device's documentation for more information. Once you have paired your source device to the Soundbar, as long as you stay within range of the Soundbar, your device should remain paired. If the input is changed, the Bluetooth device will disconnect. If the source is changed back to Bluetooth, any paired Bluetooth device will reconnect automatically.

Note: Your Soundbar is not equipped with a microphone, so it cannot operate as a hands-free device for a smartphone.

Maximizing Signal

A Bluetooth signal has a range of up to 30 feet. Keep in mind that Bluetooth is a compressed audio format, so streamed music may lose some integrity when compared to a wired connection.

Try the following if your sound quality is less than optimal:

• If you hear any break-up or disconnect while streaming music from your device, move the source device closer to the Soundbar.
• Be sure that there are no solid obstructions in the line-of-sight between the Soundbar and the source device.
• Other wireless devices can affect Bluetooth range, including wireless security cameras, wireless video baby monitors, cordless phones, and microwave ovens. Turning off or moving these devices may improve Bluetooth range.

Caution: Reduce the volume levels on your device and on the Soundbar before pressing Play. High volume levels can damage your hearing.

Wall-Mounting the Soundbar

1. Place the included wall mounting template against the wall under your TV. Mark the two bracket holes using a pencil. Ensure there is enough space between the Soundbar and your TV.

2. Install the wallmount Screws and Brackets

Be sure your screws are attached to wood studs, drywall anchors (for drywall), or concrete anchors (for brick/concrete walls).

Caution: If you are unfamiliar with power tools or the layout of electrical wiring in the walls of your home, consult a professional installer.

Note: Screws and Brackets are INCLUDED WITH Soundbar.

3. Hang the Soundbar on the wall mount screws then slide down to lock in place.

Note: Make sure the direction keeps same with the picture.

Help & Troubleshooting

There is no power.

• Your TV may be set to variable audio output. Confirm that the audio output setting is set to FIXED or STANDARD, not VARIABLE. Consult your TV's user manual for more detailed information.
• If using Bluetooth, ensure that the volume on your source device is turned up and that the device is not muted.

I hear buzzing or humming.

• 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.
