● No function / no display

O Ensure the mains cable is connected securely.
○ Make sure that the product is switched on.

● The remote control does not function

○ Use the remote control near the product.
- Point the remote control at the remote control sensor 5 on the product.
○ Replace the battery in the remote control with a new one.
○ Remove any obstacles between the remote control and the product.

● Loud hum or noise is heard

○ Check if audio in plugs are well connected

● The product does not respond when pressing any buttons

An electrostatic discharge has occurred, which blocks the soundbase. Switch off the soundbase on the main switch 11 for approx. 5 seconds and then switch it on again. You can use the soundbase as usual now.

No sound output

Make sure that the product is not muted. Press the MUTE button 21 or the VOL +/- button 4 / 20 to resume normal listening.
O Ensure the audio setting of the input source (e.g. TV, game console, DVD player, etc.) is set to PCM mode.

● The sound output effect sounds unfamiliar
Press the EQ button on the product repeatedly or press the FLAT, TV, CINEMA, SONG buttons on the remote control to select preset EQ mode for the optimal sound output effect.
- I can't find the Bluetooth ^ name of this product on my Bluetooth ^ device for Bluetooth ^ pairing
- Ensure that the product is switch on.
- Ensure that the Bluetooth ^ function is activated on your Bluetooth ^ device.
The product has a Bluetooth ^® function that can receive a signal within 10 metres. Keep a distance within 10 metres between.
● Audio transmission via the HDMI (ARC) socket fails

Audio transmission via the HDMI (ARC) socket 17 can only work if all components are ARC-enabled. If the transmission is unsuccessful, you must take one or possibly several of the following items into account:

The old HDMI cable must be replaced with a new ARC-enabled cable.
Not every HDMI socket on the television set needs to support ARC. In this case, the HDMI cable on the television set must be connected to another ARC-enabled HDMI socket. Usually, the respective HDMI sockets are labelled with ARC. If not, refer to the user instructions of your television set.
For several television sets, the digital audio output must be activated. Select the audio output PCM 2.0 (PCM stereo).

When using analogue AUX input, the sound base automatically switches to standby mode after approx. 15 minutes. This may happen due to a low input level. In this case set the playback device (e.g. television) to higher volume and reduce the volume at the sound base.

Glossary

HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface. Via this transmission route, digital images and audio signals can be transmitted.

HDMI ARC (ARC - Audio Return Channel) means that the cable is provided with an ARC channel. Via this channel, audio signals are transmitted in both directions.

The following modern devices are usually provided with an ARC output: television sets, games consoles or digital receivers.
