• Press the "HDMI (ARC)" button (43) to select the HDMI(ARC) input on the sound bar.
• Switch the TV set on, the sound playback will start within a few seconds.

If your TV set supports the CEC protocol, the sound bar can be switched on and off using the TV remote control. If this is the case, the volume can also be controlled via the TV remote control. See the user manual for the TV set.

9.3.2 "OPTICAL" mode

IMPORTANT:

The optical cable (E) connectors are protected by plastic caps on both ends. Before using the cable, these plastic caps have to be removed to prevent damage on the soundbar or TV.

Use this operating mode to play music from the optical digital input (11) for example from a TV on your sound bar (A). The TV must have an optical digital output. Use the optical cable supplied (Toslink cable) to make the connection. Proceed as follows:

• Connect the Toslink cable (E) to the optical digital output of your TV.
• Then connect the Toslink cable (E) to the optical digital input (11) of your sound bar.
• Switch the TV set and sound bar on. Set the connected TV to "PCM Stereo" or "Stereo 2.0".
• Start playing on the TV.
• Press the "OPTIC" button (14) on the remote control to select this mode.
• You can use the volume buttons (23, 37) to adjust the volume to your requirements.
• If you wish, you can change the audio settings using the relevant buttons on the remote control.

See the user manual for the TV set.

9.3.3 "BLUETOOTH" mode

The Bluetooth device name of the sound bar is SSB 30 A1.

If the sound bar is not to be used for an extended period, store it in a clean, dry and cool place. Also remove the batteries from the remote control to prevent any leaking.

11. Troubleshooting

The sound bar does not power on.

• Check that the power adapter (B) is correctly inserted into the power socket and the sound bar. Connect it properly if not.
• Check whether the used power socket is alive. If necessary, test the device in a different socket that you are certain is working.

No sound

• Check that the correct mode has been selected. Select the correct mode.
• Check the playback volume on the sound bar and the connected playback device.
• In "HDMI ARC" and "OPTICAL" mode: If your audio source supports multi-channel playback, you need to switch it to "PCM Stereo" before getting started, as the sound bar will otherwise be unable to output sound. Please refer to the user manual for your audio source.
• In "HDMI ARC" mode: Check that the HDMI(ARC) cable (D) is correctly inserted into the HDMI ARC jack (10) on the sound bar and the corresponding HDMI ARC connection on the external sound source, e.g. TV set. On a "normal" HDMI connection, the TV set can only receive video and audio signals, but not transmit them.
• In "AUX IN" mode: Check that the adapter cable (F) is correctly inserted into the AUX IN jack (9) on the sound bar and the Cinch output on the external playback device. Also check the volume setting of the external playback device connected via the adapter cable (F).
• In "Optical" mode: Check that the Toslink cable (E) is correctly inserted into the optical digital input (11) of the sound bar and the corresponding jack on the external playback device. If necessary, remove the plastic caps from the connectors.
• In "USB" mode: Check that your USB playback device is formatted with the FAT32 file system and correctly connected and that there are suitable playback files on it. Suitable file formats: MP3 and WAV.

Cannot control the sound bar with the remote control

• The remote control batteries are low or empty. Replace them with new batteries of the same type.
• The distance between the sound bar and the remote control is too great. Move them closer together.

Playback via Bluetooth® does not work

- On your smartphone / tablet, check if there is a Bluetooth® connection established to the SSB 30 A1 sound bar. If necessary, repeat the pairing.
