2. Play audio from your Bluetooth device. Volume can be controlled on your source device and the Sound Bar.

Back of Sound Bar

USING BLUETOOTH MODE

Your Sound Bar supports music streaming from smartphones, tablets, and computers with Bluetooth capability. Device compatibility will vary, see your device's documentation for more information.

Once you have paired your source device to the Sound Bar, as long as you stay within range of the Sound Bar, your device should remain paired, even if you change the input on the Sound Bar.

Your Sound Bar is not equipped with a microphone, so it cannot operate as a hands-free device for a smartphone.

Maximizing Signal

A Bluetooth signal has a range of up to 30 feet. Keep in mind that Bluetooth is a compressed audio format, so streamed music may lose some integrity when compared to a wired connection.

Try the following if your sound quality is less than optimal:

• If you hear any break-up or disconnect while streaming music from your device, move the source device closer to the Sound Bar.
• Be sure that there are no solid obstructions in the line-of-sight between the Sound Bar and the source device.
• Other wireless devices can affect Bluetooth range, including wireless security cameras, wireless video baby monitors, cordless phones, and microwave ovens. Turning off or moving these devices may improve Bluetooth range.

ADVANCED SETUP

*Supports .WAV file format playback only

Connect up to five (5) different devices to the Sound Bar (devices shown are examples-you can use any device).

To listen to a device, change the input source on the Sound Bar.

Optical, Coaxial, and 3.5mm cables transmit audio only. If connecting a video device, you will need a separate video connection from the device to your TV.
