Frequently Asked Questions - Icon SB1 1 KLIPSCH

How to connect the soundbar to my TV?

To connect the soundbar, preferably use the supplied HDMI ARC cable. Plug one end into the soundbar and the other into the TV's HDMI ARC input. You can also use an optical cable if your TV does not have an ARC port.

The remote control does not work, what should I do?

First check that the batteries are correctly inserted and not worn. Then make sure no obstacles block the infrared sensor of the soundbar. If the problem persists, replace the batteries with new ones.

Can I connect the soundbar via Bluetooth?

Yes, the Icon SB1 1 soundbar is Bluetooth compatible. Enable Bluetooth on your device (smartphone, tablet) and select "Klipsch SB1" from the list of devices. The pairing code is usually 0000 if requested.

How to adjust the subwoofer volume?

The soundbar comes with a remote control that allows you to adjust the subwoofer level. Use the dedicated buttons (often labeled "Bass +/-") to increase or decrease the intensity. You can also adjust the bass from your TV's audio menu if the connection is via HDMI ARC.

What to do if no sound comes out of the soundbar?

First check that the soundbar is turned on (indicator light). Ensure the audio source (TV, phone) is correctly selected on the soundbar. Test another cable or input. Restart the soundbar by unplugging it for 30 seconds.

The soundbar does not turn on, what should I do?

Make sure the power cord is properly connected to the soundbar and a working power outlet. If the soundbar still does not turn on, try another outlet. If unsuccessful, contact Klipsch customer service.

How to clean the soundbar?

Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the surface. Never use chemicals, alcohol, or liquids. For the grilles, a small brush or a low-power vacuum cleaner can remove dust.

Can I use the soundbar with a projector?

Yes, if the projector has an audio output (HDMI ARC, optical, or auxiliary). Connect the soundbar to the corresponding output. Note: some projectors do not have an ARC output, so use an optical connection then.

How to update the firmware?

Firmware update is performed via a USB cable (type A). Download the update file from the Klipsch website, copy it to a USB drive formatted in FAT32, plug it into the soundbar when off, then turn on the soundbar. Follow the instructions in the full manual.

The soundbar emits noise, what should I do?

Move the soundbar away from interference sources such as WiFi routers or microwaves. Check that the audio cables are properly shielded. If the problem persists, try resetting the soundbar (press and hold the power button for 10 seconds).

PLACEMENT/INSTALLATION

1. Placing/wall-mounting the soundbar: The soundbar is designed to be placed on a flat surface directly in front of your TV on its two supplied feet, on a shelf directly above or below your TV in a piece of furniture with feet or wall-mounted (via keyholes on the rear of the soundbar) under a TV that is also wall-mounted. If wall-mounting, connect cable to TV first, then use supplied wall-mount template to mount soundbar. If the two mounting holes drill into wall studs, screw two wood screws in those holes to hang the soundbar on. If there are no wall studs where the holes are drilled, use wall anchors that support at least 7 pounds (3.18kg) to hang the soundbar on. Connect cable from TV (see Connection section) to soundbar and hang soundbar on wall.

1. Placing the subwoofer: The subwoofer is designed to be placed on the floor in the same room within 50 feet (15.24m) of the soundbar near an electrical outlet. For maximum bass output, place the subwoofer in a corner on the same wall as the TV and soundbar. Once the soundbar has been connected to the TV and plugged into a wall outlet, plug the subwoofer into a wall outlet.

CONNECTION

1. Connecting the soundbar to your TV: The soundbar part of your Kipsch Icon™ SB 1 system is what needs to be connected to your TV, Cable Box or Satellite Receiver. If you have other devices connected to your TV, such as a DVD /BluRay player, gaming system, etc., connect the soundbar to the TV so that you can listen to all those and your TV through the soundbar. If there are no other devices connected to your TV other than a cable or satellite box and you receive all of your television programs from that box, you can connect the soundbar to either that box or your TV. There are three different ways to connect the soundbar to your TV, Satellite or Cable box.

A. Digital Optical Cable

Most High Definition TV's, Satellite and Cable boxes have an DIGITAL OPTICAL AUDIO OUTPUT. First, remove the clear plastic covers from each end of the digital optical cable and connect one end of an optical cable (cable supplied) into the corresponding output of your TV, Satellite or Cable box and connect the other end of the cable into the DIGITAL OPTICAL INPUT on the back panel of the soundbar.

TV Connection Panel

B. RCA Cable

If you do not have an optical digital output, you can use analog left and right audio outputs on your device and connect them to the analog left and right inputs on the soundbar with the a male RCA to male RCA cable (cable supplied).

C. 3.5mm Output (Headphone Jack)

A third choice would be to connect from a headphone output on your device to the analog left and right inputs on the soundbar (cable not supplied).

Once you have made any of the above audio cable connections, connect the supplied soundbar power supply into the "DC Input" on the back of the soundbar, plug the power supply into an active electrical socket and turn the Main Power Switch on the back of the soundbar on.

1. Connecting the subwoofer to the soundbar: Once you have placed the subwoofer in the room, take the supplied subwoofer power cord, plug one end into the subwoofer where it is labeled "AC In" and plug the other end into an active electrical socket. Turn the Main Power Switch on the back of the subwoofer on. On the soundbar, make sure the left status light is either solid green or orange (press SOURCE button once if light is steady red). The red light on the back of the subwoofer will stay solid until it finds the wireless signal coming from the soundbar. Once it finds that signal (approximately 15 seconds), the solid red light will change to solid blue, indicating the subwoofer is now connected to the soundbar.

PROGRAMMING YOUR TV REMOTE TO OPERATE THE SOUNDBAR

The following 3 steps should be used to program each function of your TV or cable box remote control buttons (MUTE, VOLUME UP, & VOLUME DOWN). IF THE SOUNDBAR IS IN STANDBY MODE (solid red status light), push the button on the soundbar

until the status light is solid GREEN.

1. Place the unit in learning mode: With the status light showing solid GREEN, press and hold down both the and buttons on the front of the soundbar at the same time (approximately 3 seconds) until the status light flashes RED and GREEN.
2. Select the function to learn: Press the button once on the soundbar (the status light changes to solid ORANGE). (Substitute the SOURCE, VOLUME UP & VOLUME DOWN in place of when programming the other buttons during this step)
3. Learn the function: Hold your remote control within one foot and pointed at the front of the soundbar. Slowly press the button on your remote control four times. On the first three presses, the status indicator light will flicker ORANGE with each press. If the unit has successfully learned the function, on the fourth press of the button, the light will flash GREEN several times and then turn to solid GREEN. (Remember to use the VOLUME UP & VOLUME DOWN in place of when programming the other buttons during this step)

To program the remaining functions, simply repeat all steps, substituting with the new function and button presses (VOLUME UP, and VOLUME DOWN) on steps TWO and THREE.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There is not a power on/off button on the front of the soundbar (there is a "Main Power" switch on the soundbar's rear panel). You DO NOT need to turn off the soundbar (or subwoofer) when finished watching TV. When finished, turn off your TV (or Satellite or Cable box if the soundbar is connected to that). The soundbar (and the subwoofer) will automatically go into a Standby or "sleep" mode if they do not receive an audio signal from your TV, Satellite or Cable Box for approximately 10 minutes. Standby "On" mode is indicated by a solid red left status light on the soundbar front and on the subwoofer rear panel. When your TV, Satellite or Cable box is turned back on and a signal is again received the soundbar (and subwoofer) will automatically come out of Standby mode and turn on.

OPERATING THE KLIPSCH ICON™ SB 1

Once your soundbar is connected and operating, you will want to complete a few basic steps to get the most enjoyment out of your system. First, you will want to turn off the speakers on your TV and let your soundbar be your new sound source. Some TV's will automatically turn off their speakers when you connect the soundbar, while others you must manually turn their speakers off. Refer to your TV's owner's manual for instructions to turn off the TV speakers. If you cannot turn your TV speakers off, the soundbar will still give you an excellent enhancement to the sound coming from your TV, and you can easily adjust your TV sound to blend with the soundbar's sound. To make this adjustment, first program your TV remote to operate the soundbar, then manually turn your TV volume down all the way down from the controls on the TV itself. Next, press the VOLUME UP (+) control on the front of the soundbar until you have a comfortable TV listening volume level coming from the soundbar. Finally, to make sure the KLIPSCH ICON™ SB 1 subwoofer has a balanced sound with the soundbar, set the subwoofer volume on the subwoofer rear to approximately the halfway point, and then adjust up or down.

3D SURROUND

The KLIPSCH ICON™ SB 1 features a 3D Surround Mode which adds spaciousness to the sound, simulating the effect of having multiple speakers surrounding you such as in a movie theater. This feature requires no distinct speaker placement, special room requirements or specific program material to work properly. To turn on, simply push the "3D" button on the KLIPSCH ICON™ SB 1 remote and the soundbar will show a white light indicating the feature is on. To turn off, push the 3D button again and the white light will turn off, along with the feature. This effect will work at multiple listening positions in your room. The four control buttons can be programmed into other remote controls using the built-in Learning Remote feature, but the 3D Surround mode On/Off button cannot be learned by any other remote and must be controlled with the included remote.
