Frequently Asked Questions - Power Bar One Energy

How do I connect the soundbar to my TV?

Three methods are possible: 1. Use a 3.5mm to RCA cable (included) by plugging the 3.5mm jack into the TV's headphone output and the RCA plugs into the L/R inputs of the soundbar. 2. Use a male-to-male RCA cable (not included) to connect the TV's analog audio outputs to the soundbar's RCA inputs. 3. Use the digital optical cable (included) to connect the TV's optical output to the soundbar's optical input. After connection, turn on the main power switch on the back of the soundbar.

Why is there no sound?

First check that the soundbar is powered on (status light is green or orange). Make sure all cables are securely connected and that the TV/set-top box is on and its volume is audible. Verify that the soundbar is set to the correct source (press the SOURCE button). If using the optical input, set the TV audio format to PCM (not Dolby Digital). Finally, if the soundbar is in standby (red light), press any button once to wake it.

How do I program the TV remote to control the soundbar?

Ensure the soundbar is on (green light). Simultaneously press and hold the SOURCE and MUTE buttons on the front of the soundbar for about 3 seconds until the light flashes orange. Press MUTE once (to program mute) or VOLUME UP/DOWN for volume. Then, point your TV remote at the soundbar (max 30 cm) and slowly press the desired function four times. If programming succeeds, the light flashes green then stays solid.

What does the red light on the soundbar mean?

A solid red light indicates the soundbar is in standby mode (sleep). If it flashes red, it means a remote learning failure during programming.

How do I put the soundbar into standby mode?

The soundbar automatically goes into standby after approximately 10 minutes without receiving an audio signal from the TV or set-top box. You can also turn off the TV; the soundbar will enter standby automatically. There is no power button on the front; the main power switch is on the back.

Can I mount the soundbar on the wall?

Yes, the soundbar is designed for wall mounting. Use the included template to mark the holes. Drill into wall studs or use anchors capable of supporting at least 4.5 kg. Hang the soundbar using the keyhole slots on the back.

What if the remote control doesn't work?

Check that the remote batteries are good and correctly installed (respect polarity). Point the remote directly at the soundbar, without obstacles. If it still doesn't work, you can program your TV remote to control the soundbar (see programming).

How do I clean the soundbar?

Use a soft, dry cloth to dust the cabinet. Never use water, abrasive cleaners, solvents, or detergents. For the grille, you can use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment.

What to do in case of battery leakage?

Do not handle leaking batteries. Wear gloves and clean the compartment with a dry cloth. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations. Do not incinerate them. If the battery is lithium, be especially careful.

Can I use the soundbar with a Blu-ray player or game console?

Yes, if these devices are connected to your TV. Connect the soundbar to the TV (via optical, RCA, or 3.5mm) and the sound from all devices connected to the TV will be played through the soundbar.

PLACEMENT/INSTALLATION

Placing/wall-mounting the soundbar: The soundbar is designed to be placed on a flat surface directly in front of your TV on its two supplied feet, on a shelf directly above or below your TV in a piece of furniture with feet or wall-mounted (via keyholes on the rear of the soundbar) under a TV that is also wall-mounted. If wall-mounting, connect supplied cable (or other cable) to TV first, then use supplied wall-mount template to mount soundbar. If the two mounting holes drill into wall studs, screw two wood screws in those holes to hang the soundbar on. If there are no wall studs where the holes are drilled, use wall anchors that support at least 10 pounds to hang the soundbar on. Connect cable from TV (see Connection section) to soundbar and hang soundbar on wall.

CONNECTION

1. Connecting the soundbar to your TV: The Energy Power Bar One needs to be connected to your TV, Cable Box or Satellite Receiver. If you have other devices connected to your TV, such as a DVD/BluRay player, gaming system, etc., connect the Energy Power Bar One to the TV so that you can listen to all those and your TV through the Energy Power Bar One. If there are no other devices connected to your TV other than a cable or satellite box and you receive all of your television programs from that box, you can connect the Energy Power Bar One to either that box (with the supplied digital optical cable) or your TV. There are three different ways to connect the Energy Power Bar One to your TV, Satellite or Cable box.

A. 3.5mm/Headphone Output

Once you have placed the Energy Power Bar One where you want it, connect one end of the supplied 3.5mm to dual RCA cable to your TV's 3.5mm/headphone audio output jack and connect the other end of the cable into the L/R RCA input jacks on the rear of the soundbar.

C. Digital Optical Cable

Since most High Definition TV's, Satellite and Cable boxes have a digital optical audio output, we have included that cable. Remove the plastic caps on the end of the cable. Simply connect one end of the cable into the corresponding output of your TV, Satellite or Cable box and connect the other end of the cable into the digital optical input on the back panel of the Energy Power Bar One.

NOTE: If you receive any or all of your channels using a separate antenna connected to your TVs Coax/Antenna input, there may be no sound received from those channels using the digital optical cable connection.

1. Plug the AC power cord into the soundbar power supply, then connect the power supply into the DC Input on the rear of the soundbar. Plug the AC power supply into a "live" electrical outlet and turn the soundbar's Main Power switch on the rear of the soundbar to "On". On the front of the soundbar, make sure the status light is either solid green or orange (press any button once if light is steady red).

PROGRAMMING YOUR TV REMOTE TO OPERATE THE SOUNDBAR

The following 3 steps should be used to program each function of your TV or cable box remote control buttons (MUTE, VOLUME UP, & VOLUME DOWN). IF THE SOUNDBAR IS IN STANDBY MODE (solid red status light), push the button on the soundbar until the status light is solid GREEN.

    B --> C["STATUS LIGHT"]
    B --> D["SOURCE"]
    B --> E["MUTE"]
    B --> F["VOLUME UP"]
    B --> G["VOLUME DOWN"]

1. Place the unit in learning mode: With the status light showing solid GREEN, press and hold down both the and buttons on the front of the soundbar at the same time (approximately 3 seconds) until the status light flashes ORANGE.

2. Select the function to learn: Press the button once on the soundbar (the status light changes to solid ORANGE). (Substitute the VOLUME UP & VOLUME DOWN in place of when programming the other buttons during this step)

3. Learn the function: Hold your TV or cable remote control within one foot and pointed at the front of the soundbar. Slowly press the button on your remote control four times. On the first three presses, the status indicator light will flicker ORANGE with each press. If the unit has successfully learned the function, on the fourth press of the button, the light will flash GREEN several times and then turn to solid GREEN. (Remember to use the VOLUME UP & VOLUME DOWN in place of when programming the other buttons during this step)

To program the remaining functions, simply repeat all steps, substituting with the new function and button presses (VOLUME UP, and VOLUME DOWN) on steps TWO and THREE

IMPORTANT NOTE: There is not a power on/off button on the front of the soundbar (there is a "Main Power" switch on the soundbar's rear panel). You DO NOT need to turn off the soundbar when finished watching TV. When finished, turn off your TV (or Satellite or Cable box if the soundbar is connected to that). The soundbar will automatically go into a Standby or "sleep" mode if it does not receive an audio signal from your TV, Satellite or Cable Box for approximately 10 minutes. Standby "On" mode is indicated by a solid red status light on the soundbar front panel. When your TV, Satellite or Cable box is turned back on and a signal is again received the soundbar will automatically come out of Standby mode and turn on.

Once your soundbar is connected and operating, you will want to complete a few basic steps to get the most enjoyment out of your system. First, you will want to turn off the speakers on your TV and let your soundbar be your new sound source. Some TV's will automatically turn off their speakers when you connect the soundbar, while others you must manually turn their speakers off. Each TV is different, but to manually turn off TV speakers you usually must bring up a menu of some type, and go into that menu's "audio" or "sound" portion where you find a selection to turn TV speakers off. If you cannot turn your TV speakers off, the soundbar will still give you an excellent enhancement to the sound coming from your TV, and you can easily adjust your TV sound to blend with the soundbar's sound. To make this adjustment, first program your TV remote to operate the soundbar, then manually turn your TV volume down all the way down from the controls on the TV itself. Next, press the VOLUME UP (+) control on the front of the soundbar until you have a comfortable TV listening volume level coming from the soundbar.
