INCORRECT
Connecting to TV (with HDMI)
Caution:
- Turn off all other equipment before making this connection.
- Set the TV at low volume before turning on the system.
Notes:
- This unit supports HDMI which enables ARC (Audio Return Channel).
- To enable ARC make sure to use High Speed HDMI™ cable (with ARC).
This ARC feature requires TV that supports ARC. Refer the operation manual of the TV to determine which terminal supports ARC.
To listen to the sound from a non-ARC-compatible TV, connect the audio output from TV to this system's AUDIO IN (TV) terminal. (refer page 12)
This unit can be operated (power on/off or volume up/down) via a TV or similar component which supports HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control). If this does not work, it does not mean this system is faulty. Refer to the operation manual of the respective component on how to activate the CEC.
Example: Go to the Menu of the component to search and enable the CEC. Different brands may have different naming for the CEC. For Sharp LCD TV, it is named as AQUOS LINK.
- To listen to the sound from this system, you will need to adjust settings within the TV menu.
For details, refer to the operation manual of the TV. - If you are unable to select external speaker setting from the TV menu (E.g. For Sharp LCD TV, it is named as AQUOS AUDIO SP), turn the CEC OFF and ON again.
- Make sure the LCD TV Audio output setting is set to PCM, not other formats such as Dolby Digital, DTS, etc.
To enjoy 3D images, this system must be connected to a 3D-compatible TV and components (3D BD player, etc.) via High Speed HDMI cables. Put on the 3D glasses, otherwise 3D images may not be viewed properly.
Select from the 2 methods below:
1. Method 1
This connection is for HDMI TV with ARC (Audio Return Channel).
Notes:
Refer to the operation manual of the equipment to be connected.
- Fully insert the plugs to avoid fuzzy pictures or noises.
2. Method 2
This connection is for HDMI TV without ARC (Audio Return Channel).
Notes:
- To listen to sound via TV, turn off your connected DVD player or BD player or similar component.
- Connecting via this method may disable TV internal speakers.
Connecting a TV (with AUDIO IN (TV))
Connect to the TV using an audio cable.
- Method 1
Notes:
- Connecting via this method may disable TV internal speakers.
-
In some cases, a small background noise could emit from the sound bar, when you use the headphone connection with a TV-Set. In such case, please change the connection to the HDMI/ARC or RCA-connection! This effect depends on the used TV-Brand, model and age, and it is not a quality matter from the sound bar!
-
Method 2
Note:
To control the volume, some setting in the TV MENU is needed. For details refer to the operation manual of the TV. Example: Go to the Setting Menu of the TV, select AUDIO OUT and choose VARIABLE.
However if this does not work, please use method 1.
Make sure to enable the HDMI CEC when making HDMI connection. For details, refer to the operation manual of the TV.
To turn the power on
Plug the AC power cord into a AC outlet, the stand-by indicator turns RED.
This unit will automatically power on if:
- TV or similar component which supports HDMI CEC, is turned on.
- Audio signal is detected from Audio input.
The stand-by indicator will turn BLUE if TV signal is detected.
Notes:
- HDMI input will override the Audio input signal.
- Audio input will function only when there is no signal from HDMI input.
- A slight audio delay after TV is turned ON does not mean that the system is faulty. This is normal.
- "AQUOS speaker is enabled" message will be displayed if SHARP LCD TV does not detect HT-SL70 / HT-SL75 during power on. However the message "AQUOS audio with AQUOS LINK is enabled" will be displayed soon as HT-SL70 / HT-SL75 is detected. These messages may vary for other TV model.
Audio Return Channel (ARC) (Audio Return Channel submenu)
The Audio Return Channel (ARC) enables an HDMI ARC-capable TV to send the audio stream to the HDMI OUT terminal of the receiver. To use this function, your TV must support the ARC. Make sure the LCD TV Audio output setting is set to PCM, not other formats such as Dolby Digital, DTS, etc. For details, refer to the operation manual of the TV.
Volume
Volume can only be controlled from your TV.
Power Off
This unit will automatically go to stand-by mode (indicator turns RED) if:
- TV or similar component which supports HDMI CEC, is turned off.
- No signal from Audio input is detected after 20 minutes.
Many potential problems can be resolved by the owner without calling a service technician.
If something is wrong with this product, check the following before calling your authorized SHARP dealer or service center.
General
| Symptom | Possible cause |
| ● No sound is heard. | ● Is the input signal (selection) set properly?● Is HDMI compliant equipment being used?● Is the HDMI cable connected correctly?● Is the HDMI cable of the correct type being used? (with ARC)● Does the sound input support PCM signal?● Do not connect or disconnect an HDMI cable while power is on. This may lead to operation problems. |
| ● Noise is heard during playback. | ● Move the speaker away from any computers or mobile phones. |
| ● The power is not turned on. | ● Is the unit unplugged?● The protection circuit may be activated. Unplug and plug in the power cord again after 5 minutes or more. |
| ● Volume cannot be controlled. | ● Check if the HDMI CEC is enabled.● For headphone or RCA, TV setting (VARIABLE) is required. |
| ● 3D images not displayed on the TV. | ● Depending on the TV and Video component, 3D images may not be displayed. Check the operation manual of the respective component. |
| ● Background noise appears when connecting with headphone output of TV-Terminal. | ● Please change to HDMI/ARC or RCA-Output terminal from TV-Set. This effect may occur depending on your used TV-Brand, model and age, and it is not the sound bar problem! |
Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet. Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens, leave the power on until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on the transmitter with a soft cloth before operating the unit.
If problem occurs during operation
When this product is subject to strong external interference (mechanical shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal supply voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated incorrectly, it may malfunction.
If the unit is not restored in the previous operation, unplug and plug in the unit again
or
unplug all component connected and plug in again.
Maintenance
Cleaning the cabinet
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth.
Caution:
- Do not use chemicals for cleaning (gasoline, paint thinner, etc.). It may damage the cabinet finish.
- Do not apply oil to the inside of each component. It may cause malfunctions.
