INSTALLING THE WALL MOUNT You can use the wall mount bracket to mount this unit on a wall.

Installation Precautions

• Install on a vertical wall only.

• For the installation, avoid a location with high temperature or humidity, or a wall that cannot sustain the weight of

• Check the strength of the wall. If the wall is not strong enough to support the unit, reinforce the wall or install the

unit on a different wall that can support the unit's weight.

• Purchase and use the fixing screws or anchor appropriate for the kind of wall you have (plaster board, iron board,

wood, etc.). If possible, fix the support screws into wall studs.

• Connect cables from the unit to external devices before you install it on the wall.

• Make sure the unit is turned off and unplugged before you install it. Otherwise, it may cause an electric shock.

1. Place the wall mount bracket on a wall surface and then

secure it with two screws. If you are hanging the unit below a

TV, be sure to install the wall mount bracket so that the arrow

) is placed in the centre of the TV. Also make sure the unit

is at least two inches (5 cm) below the TV.

2. Align the two HOLDER-SCREWs (screw holders) with the

screw holes on the left and right sides of the MAIN UNIT, and

then fix them to the main unit with the supplied screws.

3. Fit the unit into the corresponding slots of the wall mount

bracket. For secure installation, make sure the mounting

studs slide firmly down into the bottom of the slots.

4. The installation is complete.

 Do not hang onto the installed unit and avoid striking or dropping the unit.

 Secure the unit firmly to the wall so that it does not fall off. If the unit falls off, it may cause an injury or

 When the unit is installed on a wall, please make sure that children do not pull any of the connecting

cables, as it may cause it to fall.

 For the optimal performance of a wall mount installation, install the speaker system at least 2 inches (5 cm)

● CONNECTIONS CONNECTING THE WIRELESS SUBWOOFER The Subwoofer's linking ID is preset at the factory and the main unit and subwoofer should link (connect wirelessly)

automatically when the main unit and subwoofer are turned on. If the LINK indicator does not light when the main

unit and subwoofer are turned on, please set the ID by following the procedure below. Complete this process within

30 seconds after the Link Indicator on the subwoofer starts blinking.

1. Plug the power cords of the main unit and subwoofer into an AC wall outlet.

2. Confirm that the main unit is off (in STANDBY Mode).

3. Press the ID SET button on the back of the subwoofer with a small, pointed object for 5 seconds.

• The LINK INDICATOR (Blue LED) on the subwoofer blinks quickly.

4. While the main unit is powered off (in STANDBY mode), press and hold

• The main unit and the subwoofer should now be linked (connected).

• The LINK indicator (blue LED) on the subwoofer should be turned on

• If the LINK indicator is not solid blue, the linking process has failed.

Turn off the main unit and start again from Step 2.

• You can enjoy better sound from the wireless subwoofer by selecting the a sound effect. (See page 24)

 Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power

 If the main unit is powered off, the wireless subwoofer will be in the standby mode and the STANDBY LED on the upper side will come on after the LINK indicator (Blue LED) blinks for 30 seconds.

 If you use a device that uses the same frequency (2.4GHz) as the unit near the unit, interference

may cause some sound interruption.

 The transmission distance of the wireless signal between the main unit and subwoofer is about

33 ft., 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.

 If the main unit doesn't make a wireless connection, follow steps 1-5 above to retry the

connection between the main unit and wireless subwoofer.

 The wireless receiving antenna is built into the wireless subwoofer. Keep the unit away from

 For optimal listening performance, make sure that the area around the wireless subwoofer

location is clear of any obstructions.

● FUNCTIONS BLUETOOTH You can use a Bluetooth device to enjoy music with high quality stereo sound, all without wires!

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, when:

- A part of your body is in contact with the receiving/transmitting system of the Bluetooth device or

- It is subject to electrical variation from obstructions caused by a wall, corner, or office partition.

- It is exposed to electrical interference from same frequency-band devices including medical

equipment, microwave ovens, and wireless LANs.

• Pair the Air Track with the Bluetooth device while they are close together.

• The further the distance between the

Air Track and Bluetooth device, the worse the quality is.

If the distance exceeds the Bluetooth operational range, the connection is lost.

• In poor reception-sensitivity 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.

To connect the Air Track to a Bluetooth device

Check if the Bluetooth device supports the Bluetooth compliant stereo headset function.

Bluetooth device Connect 1. Press the BT button on the remote control of the Air Track to display the BT message.

• The message WAIT appears at the very first Bluetooth activation after powering on. From the next

activation, BT READY will appear.
