Subwoofer volume The subwoofer volume control on the back of the subwoofer allows you to preset the amount of bass that the system produces. Setting to ‘normal’ is the recommended balance. For quiet TV use, you can reduce the level. For louder music, you can increase the volume. Hint: The Bass control on the remote also changes the volume of the subwoofer. Hint: Once the subwoofer volume is set, you won’t need to adjust it often. It is set for the conditions of the room.
Hint: There are a total of 10 channels. Shift the channel repeatedly until there is no more interference.

Maintenance Cleaning and care advice Use a soft, clean cloth moistened with plain, luke-warm water to clean the exterior of the unit. Glass cleaner is a good way to remove finger marks, but please use it sparingly, and avoid contact with the actual loudspeaker driver units. IMPORTANT: Never use solvents such as benzene or other strong chemical cleaners since these could damage the unit’s finish. It is VERY important that no liquid reaches the inside of the unit.
The sound is out of sync with the TV Make sure all video sources are connected to the TV and that the soundbar is connected to the TV optical output or RCA (AUX) output. This connection method should re-align the sound. If it is still out of sync, look for a sound/time alignment menu in the TV menus. Remote does not work Check that plastic strip in remote has been removed. If the remote has had a lot of use, replace the battery.
subwoofer (soundbar working) Check the subwoofer volume (back of subwoofer). Set to ‘normal’, then adjust to preference. Switch off subwoofer, wait for 1 minute, and switch on the subwoofer to reset it. Check power cables and power switches on soundbar and subwoofer. Try a different wireless channel. Use a paperclip to short press the pair button on the back of the soundbar.
