Instructions Guide

Wall Mounting

Safety

1. Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel only. Incorrect assembly can result in severe personal injury and property damage. If you are going to install this soundbar yourself, you must have studied installations, such as electrical wiring and plumbing that may be buried inside the wall. It is the installer’s responsibility to verify that the wall can safely support the total load of the soundbar.
2. Additional tools are required for the installation (not included).
3. Do not over-tighten screws.
4. Keep this user manual for future reference.
5. Use an electric stud finder to check the wall type before drilling and mounting (not included).

Tools & fixings required (not included)

1. Drill fitted with masonry drill bit
2. Pencil
3. Spirit level
4. Screwdriver
5. Ruler

Place the soundbar in the desired position and using a spirit level, check that the soundbar is level. Make a light pencil mark on the wall at the top edge of both fixing brackets. The mark should be positioned directly above each bracket. Note the mounting points on the soundbar (one is 160mm from the end while the other is 160mm from the other end), so you should use the soundbar as a template to get the right mounting positions. Place the soundbar away from the work area and then mark two fixing points 7mm below the light pencil marks for the screws. These marks should be 430mm apart and level. Before drilling, use a spirit level to check that the fixing points marked are level.

If fixing to a solid masonry wall, use a masonry drill bit, drill holes to a depth of approximately 30mm and insert the wall plugs. Insert the screws into the wall plugs and drive home the screws until the heads stand proud on the wall by about 1mm.

• If fixing to timber, follow the directions above, but only drill a small pilot hole for each screw and do not use the wall plugs provided.
• If fixing to hollow plaster board walls, use a drill bit suitable for wood and replace the wall plugs with wall anchors appropriate for the application. Locate the fixing points into wall studs and cross braces where possible.
• Locate the soundbar onto the screw heads and check that the screws are fully engaged into the keyhole mount before releasing your hold.

Battery Replacement for the Remote Control

1. Press and slide the back cover to open the battery compartment.
2. Insert two “AAA” size batteries (supplied). Make sure the (+) and (-) ends of the batteries match (+) and (-) ends indicated in the battery compartment.
3. Close the battery compartment cover.

Handling the battery

Improper or incorrect use of batteries may cause corrosion or battery leakage which can cause fire, personal injury or damage to property. We recommend using the battery type indicated in this manual. Don’t install or mix new and old batteries OR mix different types of batteries. Don’t dispose of used batteries as a kind of domestic waste. Dispose of them according to local regulations.

Handling the Remote Control

Don’t drop the remote control. Don’t spill liquids on the remote control. Don’t place the remote control on a wet object or near any source of excessive heat. Take out the batteries from the remote control if it is not necessary to use for a long period of time. Otherwise, they may have corrosion and leakage which incurs physical injury, property damage or fire, etc.

Remote Control Operation Range

The remote control sensor at the front of the soundbar is sensitive to the remote control’s commands up to a maximum of 6 meters away and within a maximum arc of 40 degrees. Please note that the operating distance may vary depending on the brightness of the room.

PLEASE NOTE: The instructions within this user manual will refer to the button number on the soundbar (Ref ‘number’), or buttons on the remote control e.g. (Rem. ’number’), in accordance with the diagrams from pages 4 and 5.

Connecting to Mains Supply

Ensure that the power supply voltage is within 100V~240V. Unwind the mains cable to its full length. Connect the mains plug to a mains socket. Ensure the plug is fully inserted into the main socket. The mains plug/appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device must remain readily operable. Insert the power adaptor into the soundbar DC IN port (Ref.9), then plug to AC Socket. This unit is designed to use a power adaptor. Connecting the unit to any other power source may cause damage to the unit.

Important

Ensure all audio cable connections of the unit are properly inserted before connecting the soundbar to the mains power socket. Unplug the power cord from the outlet when the unit is not in use for an extended period of time.

Troubleshooting

Observation	Potential Cause/Solution
No power/function	Check whether the power is switched on or off at the wall. Check whether the power adaptor is properly connected to power outlet or not.
Nosound	Check whether the unit is set to MUTE. Check whether your desired mode is correctly selected. Check if cables are properly inserted. Check your device’s audio settings- ensure these are set to PCM. (This is applicable when connected to TV or PC/laptop).
Issues with Bluetooth connection	Check whether you have pressed the PAIR button before pairing. Check whether the external device requires password“0000”to start with. Check if soundbar or your device are paired with other devices. Unpair and try pairing again.
Function disturbance	Switch off and unplug the unit. Leave for 2 minutes and switch it on again. If a particular mode is causing problems, please try an alternative connection to your TV such as Optical, AUX or Bluetooth.
Remote control does not work [properly]	Check whether the battery needs replacing. Replace if necessary. Check whether there are obstacles blocking the remote sensor.
