1. Ensure Proper Placement: Place the subwoofer near the main unit so that the on/standby indicator lights up in green or orange.
2. Perform Secure Link Setup: Follow the steps in the manual for "Performing the Wireless Connection of the Subwoofer (SECURE LINK)".
3. Check Indicator Light: - If the on/standby indicator flashes quickly in green, consult a Sony dealer. - If the indicator flashes in red, turn off the subwoofer and check if the ventilation holes are blocked.
4. Adjust Multi-room Group Sync: If there is a delay in sound, press OPTIONS and set [Multi-room Group Sync] to [Off].
If the issue persists, consider resetting the subwoofer or contacting Sony support.
