Pairing the sound bar system

Setting up the sound bar system for the first time

Connect every power cord of the sound bar system to the outlet. The color LEDs on each of the sound bar system start to blink and then they are paired automatically. Refer to the table below.

• Set the distance between this unit and wireless subwoofer within 10 m (32 ft.).
• Optimum performance can be implemented only when the unit and the Wireless subwoofer within distance of 2 m (6 ft.) to 10 m (32 ft.) is used since communication failure may occur if longer distance is used.
• It takes a few seconds (and may take longer) for the unit and subwoofer to communicate with each other.
• If there is a strong electromagnetic wave product nearby, interference may occur. Put the unit (wireless receiver, wireless speakers, wireless subwoofer, and main unit) away from there.

When the sound bar system is not paired automatically

When there is no sound from the R channel sound bar or the wireless subwoofer, you have to pair the sound bar system manually. You can check the disconnected state by the color LED on each of the sound bar system. Refer to the table below.
