Frequently Asked Questions - Ghost KM0543 Krüger&Matz

How to connect the soundbar via Bluetooth?

Press the SOURCE button on the soundbar or the BT button on the remote several times to switch to Bluetooth mode. The blue indicator flashes slowly. Activate Bluetooth on your external device, search for "KM0543" and connect. If necessary, enter the password "0000". Once connected, the indicator stays on and the soundbar emits a "PAIRED" sound.

Why is the remote control not working?

Check the distance (max 6 m) and point directly at the front sensor. Make sure the CR2025 battery is installed with correct polarity. If necessary, replace the battery. Remove the protective film before first use.

How to enter standby mode?

Press the STANDBY button on the remote or the power button on the soundbar (backlit in red). The soundbar enters standby mode, reducing power consumption to less than 0.5 W.

What to do if there is no sound in optical mode?

Check that the optical cable is properly connected and that the soundbar is in optical mode (orange indicator). If the indicator flashes rapidly, enable PCM modulation on your audio source (TV, DVD/Blu-ray player).

How to mount the soundbar on the wall?

Use the supplied drilling template: drill 4 parallel holes (Ø 3-8 mm) spaced 764 mm apart. Insert wall plugs if necessary, attach the wall brackets. Unscrew the wall mounting screws on the back of the soundbar (max. 3 mm) and hang it. Ensure the surface is suitable.

How to use the equalizer?

During playback, press the EQ buttons on the remote: NEWS for news, MOVIE for movies, MUSIC for music. Each mode adjusts the sound for optimal rendering according to the content.

How to replace the remote control battery?

Open the battery compartment. Insert a CR2025 battery respecting polarity (+/-). Close the compartment. If the remote is not used for a long time, remove the battery to prevent leakage.

What input modes are available?

The soundbar offers three input modes: AUX (3.5 mm jack), optical (optical cable), and Bluetooth. Use the SOURCE button on the soundbar or the AUX, BT, OPT buttons on the remote to switch.

Is the soundbar compatible with all TVs?

Hearing safety

Listen at a moderate volume:

• Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. To guard against this, set your volume to a safe level before your hearing adapts and leave it there.

To establish a safe volume level:

* Set your volume control at a low setting.
* Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.

Listen for reasonable periods of time:

• Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally "safe" levels, can also cause hearing lose.
• Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and take appropriate breaks.
