NOTES
•Do not connect the power cord of this product or your TV to a wall outlet until all connections
between components are complete.
•Before moving or installing this product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.
•If the main unit is powered off, the wireless subwoofer will go into stand-by mode and the
STANDBY LED on the rear of the sub-woofer will turn red after blinking blue several times.
•If you use a device that uses the same frequency (5.8GHz) as the Soundbar near the Soundbar,
interference may cause some sound interruption.
•The maximum transmission distance of the main unit’s wireless signal is about 10 m, but may vary
depending on your operating environment. If a steel-concrete or metallic wall is between the main
unit and the wireless subwoofer, the system may not operate at all because the wireless signal
cannot penetrate metal.
PRECAUTIONS
•Wireless receiving antennas are built into the wireless subwoofer. Keep the unit away from water
and moisture.
•For optimal listening performance, make sure that the area around the wireless subwoofer and the
Wireless Receiver Module (sold separately) is clear of any obstructions.

•If the TV provides an ARC port, connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI IN (ARC) port.
•We recommend you use a coreless HDMI cable if possible. If you use a cored HDMI cable, use one
whose diameter is less than 14 mm.
•This function is not available if the HDMI cable does not support ARC.
•When the audio in a broadcast is encoded in Dolby Digital and the “Digital Output Audio Format” on
your TV is set to PCM, we recommend that you change the setting to Dolby Digital. When the
setting on the TV is changed, you will experience better sound quality. (The TV menu may use
different words for Dolby Digital and PCM depending on the TV manufacturer.)

More About Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a technology that enables Bluetooth-compliant devices to interconnect easily with each
other using a short wireless connection.
•A Bluetooth device may cause noise or malfunction, depending on usage, if:
– A part of your body is in contact with the receiving/transmitting system of the Bluetooth
device or the Soundbar.
– It is subject to electrical variation from obstructions caused by a wall, corner, or ofce partition.
– It is exposed to electrical interference from same frequency-band devices including medical
equipment, microwave ovens, and wireless LANs.
•Pair the Soundbar with the Bluetooth device while they are close together.
•The further the distance between the Soundbar and Bluetooth device, the worse the quality is.
If the distance exceeds the Bluetooth operational range, the connection is lost.
•In poor reception areas, the Bluetooth connection may not work properly.
•The Bluetooth connection only works when it is close to the unit. The connection will be
automatically cut off if the Bluetooth device is out of range. Even within range, the sound quality
may be degraded by obstacles such as walls or doors.
•This wireless device may cause electric interference during its operation.

Installation Precautions
•Install on a vertical wall only.
•Do not install in a place with high
temperature or humidity.
•Verify whether the wall is strong enough to
support the product’s weight. If not, reinforce
the wall or choose another installation point.
•Purchase and use the xing screws or
anchors appropriate for the kind of wall you
have (plaster board, iron board, wood, etc.). If
possible, x the support screws into wall
studs.
