CONNECTING YOUR SOUNDBAR USING BLUETOOTH (OPTIONAL)

Pairing your devices

Turn on your soundbar.
Place your Bluetooth device within 30 ft. (10 m) of your soundbar.
Select Bluetooth as the input source by pressing the (source) button on the remote control or the soundbar. The blue Bluetooth indicator on the soundbar blinks slowly.
Navigate to your device's Bluetooth settings, turn on Bluetooth, then search for available devices. For additional information on pairing your device, refer to your device's documentation.

If a PIN code is requested, enter "0000."
When pairing is completed the Bluetooth indicator on the top of your soundbar lights solid blue.

NOTES:

Some devices, such as an iPhone, connect immediately after pairing, other devices, such as notebook computers, may ask you if you wish to connect. In this instance, the Bluetooth indicator continues to blink until a connection is established.
When you turn on your soundbar, it automatically connects to the last connected device if that device is in range. To connect to a different paired device, turn off Bluetooth or unpair from the currently paired device and manually connect to the other paired device.
When a call is received while playing music through a phone, the music stops automatically.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Press the (mute) button on the remote control to restore the sound output. Make sure that the correct audio source is selected. Press the button repeatedly to switch to the correct audio source. Make sure that that the power is on and all connections are secure. If you are using an AUX 3.5 mm cable connection, make sure that the volume is turned up on your sound source. If you are using the OPTICAL connection, make sure that the source device's audio source is set to "PCM" format. Refer to the documentation you received with the audio source device (such as a TV or DVD/Blu-ray player) for additional information. Make sure that the audio cable you are using is not damaged or broken. Try using another one.
Your soundbar is not working properly.	Unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet and then try plugging it in again after 30 seconds. If you are using the OPTICAL connection, make sure that the source device's audio source is set to "PCM" format.
