More About Remote Learning/SmartBar
Important Note: For your Sound Bar to respond to your remote control,
you MUST FIRST program the bar to respond to your television's original
IR (Infra-Red) remote. An RF (Radio Frequency) remote will not work.
Other remotes (cable, satellite) will work only after you have programmed
the bar to respond to the TV's IR remote.
Example: To teach your bar the "Volume Up" command of your remote
control:
Turn the bar on. The LEDs shine, depending on the active source.
Now use the following steps:
Press and hold Source button for
3 seconds
Press and release "Volume Up"
on bar
Hold remote 1'- 2' from bar
Tap "Volume Up" on TV's remote
control 4 - 8 times, once per
second. (Tap, do not hold)
Command has been learned
Repeat the steps above to program the other bar functions.
Note: If bar fails to learn certain IR remote codes, LEDs 1 & 3 flash, then
LEDs 2 & 4 flash, repeating 3x. Try erasing any previously programmed
codes and carefully repeat steps above.
Code Erasing Procedure:
Erase the codes by pressing the Source button for ten seconds while the
unit is in standby mode. You'll know previously learned codes have been
erased when LED 1 blinks green, then white 3 times.
Note: This procedure removes ALL of your bar's remote control
programming. If you only need to change the programming for some
of the bar buttons, follow the four steps in the sequence previously
described.

Wall Mounting Your Sound Bar

If you choose to wall mount your sound bar, ensure that
your wall anchors secure properly into the wall and that
