Frequently Asked Questions - RFSB301 Renkforce

How to pair the subwoofer with the soundbar?

Pairing is automatic when power is turned on. If pairing fails, press and hold the PAIRING button on the back of the subwoofer for a few seconds, then turn on the soundbar. The pairing indicator stops blinking when connected.

What to do if the soundbar does not turn on?

Check that the power cable is properly connected and the wall outlet is powered. Press the Power/Standby button on the device or remote. If the problem persists, unplug and replug the device after a few minutes.

How to connect the soundbar to my TV via HDMI ARC?

Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI OUT (TV eARC/ARC) port on the soundbar to the HDMI (ARC) port on your TV. Ensure that HDMI-CEC and ARC functions are enabled in your TV settings. Then select the HDMI eARC mode on the soundbar.

Why is there no sound?

Check that mute mode is not activated. Ensure the audio source is correctly selected. For digital connections (optical, coaxial, HDMI), set the source audio output to PCM or Dolby Digital. Also verify that the subwoofer is paired and within 5 meters.

How to adjust bass and treble?

Use the BASS +/- and TREBLE +/- buttons on the remote control to adjust bass and treble respectively. The settings are displayed on the screen.

How to use the Dolby Atmos function?

The Dolby Atmos function is available only via HDMI inputs. Ensure your source (TV, player) supports Dolby Atmos and the audio setting is set to bitstream without encoding. Use an HDMI 2.0 cable for full experience.

How to reset Bluetooth pairing?

Press and hold the ▶II or BT button on the remote until the screen displays 'PAIRING'. The Bluetooth name 'RF-SB-301' will appear. On your device, select it and use the password '0000' if prompted.

Can I mount the soundbar on the wall?

Yes. Use the supplied wall brackets. Drill 4 holes of 5.5-6 mm spaced 778 mm apart, insert wall plugs, fix the brackets, then screw the mounting screws into the back of the soundbar and clip it on. Keep a height of ≤ 1.5 meters.

What to do if the remote control does not work?

Check that the batteries are installed with correct polarity, are fresh, and nothing is blocking the infrared sensor. Reduce the distance between the remote and the soundbar. Replace the batteries if necessary.

How to clean the soundbar?
