Frequently Asked Questions - Elias Majority

What should I do if there is no sound when connecting via ARC or Optical?

Ensure the HDMI (ARC) cable is inserted into the soundbar's HDMI eARC/ARC port and your TV supports ARC. Check TV audio settings: for ARC, set sound output to receiver HDMI; for Optical, set to external speaker/Digital Optical out. Make sure the soundbar is set to the correct mode (ARC/Optical).

How do I pair my Bluetooth device with the soundbar?

Press the MODE button until 'BT' appears (flashing). On your device, select 'Majority Elias' from Bluetooth settings. If the 'BT' light is not flashing, press and hold the Play/Pause button on the remote for 5 seconds to unpair any previous device, then try again.

Why is there a humming or buzzing noise from the soundbar?

Check all cable connections are secure. Adjust TV audio settings according to the connection type. Test by playing audio from a phone via Bluetooth; if no buzzing, the issue is with TV settings. Try an alternative connection method.

How can I reset the soundbar to factory settings?

Press the 'Reset' button on the remote control (Rem.18). This cancels all custom settings including volume, equalisers, bass, and treble, returning to default.

How do I use the equaliser modes?

Press the corresponding button on the remote for Music (Rem.22), Movie (Rem.21), News (Rem.15), or 3D (Rem.24). The display will show 'MUSI', 'MOVI', 'NEW', or '3D' briefly. You can adjust Bass and Treble while using these presets.

Can I wall mount the soundbar? How?

Yes, wall mount brackets are included. Mark holes at least 10 cm below TV centre, drill, insert wall anchors, attach brackets to soundbar with screws, then hang the soundbar on the wall screws.

Why is USB playback not working?

Ensure the USB stick is up to 64GB and contains MP3 or WAV files. Insert it into the USB port on the soundbar, then press MODE until 'USB' appears. The soundbar will automatically start playback.

How do I switch between input modes?

Press the 'MODE' button on the remote control (Rem.11) or on the soundbar (Ref.9) repeatedly to cycle through ARC, Optical, AUX, Bluetooth, and USB.

What is the warranty period and how do I register?

The soundbar comes with a 12-month warranty. You must register the product within 30 days of purchase at www.majority.co.uk using the 'Register' menu to validate the warranty.

The remote control is not working. What should I do?

Check if batteries are installed correctly and have charge. Ensure there are no obstacles between remote and soundbar. Try replacing batteries. If still not working, contact support at www.majority.co.uk/support.
