Frequently Asked Questions - ASBBT-0724 Bauhn

How do I connect my soundbar via Bluetooth?

Press the Source button on the remote or soundbar until BLUETOOTH is selected. On your phone or tablet, enable Bluetooth and search for Bauhn ASBBT-0724. Select it to pair. If prompted for a PIN, enter 0000.

Why is there no sound from the soundbar?

Check that the soundbar is powered on and the correct input source is selected. Ensure the volume is not muted or set too low. Verify the audio cable (optical/AUX/HDMI) is firmly connected. If using Bluetooth, ensure the device is paired and playing audio.

How can I reset the soundbar to factory settings?

While the soundbar is on, press and hold the Volume - button on the soundbar for about 5 seconds until the LED flashes rapidly. Release the button; the soundbar will restart and reset to default settings.

Can I mount the soundbar on the wall?

Yes, the soundbar comes with a wall-mount bracket. Use the provided screws and anchors to attach the bracket to the wall. Then slide the soundbar onto the bracket until it clicks securely.

How do I clean the soundbar?

Unplug the soundbar first. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the exterior. Do not use any liquids, solvents, or abrasive cleaners. For the grille, you can use a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner.

What is the maximum volume level?

The volume can be adjusted from 0 to 50 using the remote or soundbar buttons. The maximum output (RMS) is 40 W, so at high volume you may experience distortion depending on the source material.

How do I connect the soundbar to my TV?

Use the HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) cable for best quality. Connect one end to the soundbar's HDMI ARC port and the other to your TV's HDMI ARC port. Then set the soundbar input to HDMI ARC. Alternative connections: optical or AUX.

Does the soundbar have a USB playback function?

Wall mounted

Wall mounting instructions are on the following pages.

!

• Wall mounted installation must be carried out by qualified personnel only. Incorrect assembly can result in severe personal injury and property damage! If you intend to install this product yourself, you must check for installations such as electrical wiring and plumbing, which may be hidden inside or behind the wall.
• It is the installer's responsibility to verify and confirm that the wall will safely support the total load of the soundbar and wall brackets.
  • Additional tools (not included) are required for the installation.
• Do not overtighten screws.
• If mounting on a wood stud wall, use an electronic stud finder to locate the centre of the framing studs before drilling and mounting.

Wall Mounting Instructions

Note: The sound bar has two keyhole slots on the back to enable wall mounting, using the fixings provided. The distance between the two keyholes is 700mm.

Use a pencil to make 2 drill hole marks on the wall for the adaptors. Make sure the marks are level before drilling. Use a 6mm bit and power drill (not supplied) to drill holes on the marks.

Note: For a wood stud wall, use an electronic stud detector to locate the centre of the framing studs before marking and drilling the holes.

Pairing Bluetooth ^® Devices

The first time you use your Bluetooth® device with the soundbar, you will need to pair them with one another.

Activate Bluetooth ^® on your compatible device, and set it to search for compatible devices.

Select 'BAUHN ASBBT-0724' from the list of found devices.

To disconnect the existing paired device. Press and hold the 🔊 Buttons on the soundbar simultaneously to disconnect the paired Bluetooth device.

If your device asks for a passkey (depending on the device manufacturers, model and software version), then enter the digits "0000" and press OK.

The operational range between this soundbar and a Bluetooth ^® device is approximately 10 metres (without any object between the Bluetooth ^® enabled device and the soundbar). Any obstacles between the devices can reduce the operational range.

Before you connect a Bluetooth® enabled device to this soundbar, ensure you know the device's capabilities. Compatibility with all Bluetooth® devices is not guaranteed.

If the signal strength is weak, your Bluetooth® receiver may disconnect, but it will re-enter pairing mode automatically.

If a mobile phone on which you are playing music receives a call, the music will be interrupted. The phone call audio however is not played via the soundbar. Once you end the call, the devices are connected to each other again and playback resumes.

Your device will also be disconnected when your device is moved beyond the operational range. If you want to reconnect your device, place it within the operational range.

If the connection is lost, follow the instructions (left) to pair your device to the soundbar again.
