Turning the Subwoofer On and Off

Set the subwoofer's Power switch to the On position . This will put the subwoofer into
the Standby mode . The subwoofer will automatically turn itself On when it receives
an audio signal, and it will return to the Standby mode when it has received no audio
signal for 15 minutes . The subwoofer's LED will illuminate blue when the subwoofer is
On, and will be illuminated amber when the subwoofer is in Standby .
If you will be away from home for an extended period of time, or if you will not be
using the system for an extended period, set the subwoofer's Power switch to the Off
position .

Adjusting the System's Volume

Press the soundbar's Volume Up and Down buttons to raise and lower the system's
volume one step at a time . Hold down the buttons to continuously raise or lower the
volume . NOTE: The lowest setting of the Volume Down button will mute the system .
If the system will not play loud enough or quiet enough, adjust the Trim Switch (see
Soundbar Trim Switch, on page 9) .
For the best sound, we recommend turning your TV's built-in speakers off . Consult
your TV's owner's manual to find out how to do this . If there is no way to turn your
TV's speakers off, you can adjust the TV's volume so that your SB 15/230 system will
always supply most of the sound:
1 . Using the volume buttons on your TV, turn its volume all the way down .
2 . Then, use the soundbar's Volume Up/Down buttons to set the sound to a comfortable
listening level .
This way your SB 15/230 system should always be louder than your TV's speakers .
NOTE: This may reduce the volume of your TV's output connection, so you may have to
set the soundbar's Trim Switch to position 3 to compensate . See Soundbar Trim Switch,
on page 9 .

Muting the System

Momentarily press the soundbar's Power button to mute the system . (The Power
Indicator flashes blue .) Momentarily press the Power button again to un-mute the
system . (The Power Indicator turns to a steady blue .)

Soundbar Surround Mode Button

This button switches the sound between normal stereo (the Surround Mode Indicator
lights white) and 3D Surround (the Surround Mode Indicator lights blue) . The 3D
Surround setting will produce a complete surround-sound experience for anyone
sitting in front of and several feet away from the soundbar . Although it is particularly
effective when watching movies, you can also try the 3D Surround setting for music .
