How to use the soundbar remote control?

The buttons allow you to turn on/off, adjust volume, select mode (BT, HDMI, etc.), adjust bass and treble (BASS/TREB), and activate Surround (MUSIC) or Cinema (MOVIE) effects.

How to clean the Areal Bar 360 soundbar?

Use a dry cloth to clean the external surface. Do not use volatile liquids (insecticide spray, alcohol) and do not press too hard to avoid damaging the casing. Avoid prolonged contact with plastic or rubber materials.

Can I mount the soundbar on the wall?

Yes, the soundbar is compatible with wall mounting. Use the provided mounting brackets. Drill two holes spaced 350 mm apart with a 6 mm drill bit, insert wall plugs, attach the wall brackets, then hang the soundbar and secure it with the provided short screws. Ensure there are no water or electrical pipes in the wall.

How to change the remote control battery?

Can I charge my smartphone via the USB port of the soundbar?

Yes, the USB port provides a voltage of 5V and can be used to charge smartphones, MP3 players, and other small devices (except Apple products). However, the USB playback function for MP3/WAV files takes priority.

What to do if the Bluetooth connection is unstable?

Ensure the soundbar and source device are within 10 meters without obstacles. Avoid interference from other wireless devices. If the problem persists, unpair and re-pair: press and hold the Play/Pause button on the remote control for 3 seconds to disconnect the connection, then try again.
