Frequently Asked Questions - SC200SND SCHNEIDER

How to connect the soundbar to my TV?

You can connect the soundbar to your TV via an optical, coaxial, or auxiliary cable (3.5 mm). For an optical or coaxial connection, make sure your TV's audio output is set to PCM. Use the supplied cable or a compatible cable not supplied.

How to pair a Bluetooth device?

Press the SOURCE button repeatedly until the indicator light flashes blue. Enable Bluetooth on your device and select 'SC200SND' from the list. If a code is requested, enter 0000. The indicator turns solid blue when the connection is successful.

What to do if the soundbar produces no sound?

Check that the volume is high enough, the audio source is correctly selected, and the connected device is playing a track. For digital connections (optical/coaxial), ensure the source is set to PCM. If the problem persists, disconnect the power for one minute then reconnect.

How to adjust bass and sound modes?

Use the BASS -/+ buttons on the remote control to adjust the bass level. To change the sound mode, press the SOUND EQUALIZER button repeatedly to switch between NORMAL (STANDARD) and CINEMA (MOVIE) modes. An audible signal confirms the selection.

How to install the soundbar on the wall?

Use the supplied wall mounting brackets. Drill two holes 287 mm apart, insert suitable screws (not supplied) leaving 5 mm of the head exposed. Hang the soundbar by engaging the brackets onto the screw heads. Ensure the wall is solid and that no cables or pipes are behind it.

The remote control does not work, what to do?

Check the battery: make sure it is correctly installed (+ side up) and not discharged. Replace with a CR2032 if necessary. Point the remote control directly at the soundbar and reduce the distance.

How to use the auxiliary (AUX) input?

Connect a 3.5 mm audio cable (supplied or other) between the headphone output of your device (MP3 player, phone, etc.) and the AUX input of the soundbar. Press SOURCE repeatedly until the indicator turns solid green.

Why does the soundbar go into standby automatically?

The soundbar is designed to enter standby after about 20 minutes of inactivity (no audio signal). To reactivate it, press the ON/OFF button. This function saves energy.

How to reset the device in case of malfunction?

Disconnect the power cable, wait one minute, then reconnect it. This resets the device. To reset Bluetooth settings, press and hold the PLAY/PAUSE button on the remote control for five seconds.

What cables are needed for a digital connection?

For an optical connection, use a Toslink optical cable (not supplied). For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial RCA cable (not supplied). Make sure the source is set to PCM for the sound to be properly decoded.
