Notes:
If a device such as microwave oven, wireless LAN card,
Bluetooth device or any other device that uses the
same 2.4GHz frequency near the system, some sound
interruption may be heard due to interference.
The transmission distance of the wireless signal between
the subwoofer and sound bar is about 32 feet (10 meters),
but may vary depending on your operating environment. If
a steel-concrete or metallic wall is between the subwoofer
and the sound bar, the system may not operate at all,
because the wireless signal cannot penetrate metal.
Caution:
Keep the subwoofer away from water and moisture.
To get the optimum listening performance, make sure the
area around the sound bar and subwoofer is clear of any
obstacles.
