User's Manual

The Klipsch HD Theater SB 3 soundbar has four control buttons under the status indicator lights on its front panel. From the

top button down, they are SOURCE, MUTE, VOLUME UP, and VOLUME DOWN. MUTE, VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN can easily be

programmed to your TV, Satellite or Cable box remote control so that you can use that remote to control these functions.

NOTE: The SB 3 model comes with its own remote and controls not only the four control buttons but has a separate button for

the 3D Surround Mode On/Off feature. The four control buttons can be programmed into other remote controls using the built-in

Learning Remote feature, but the 3D Surround mode On/Off button cannot be learned by any other remote and must be controlled

with the included remote.

Programming The Klipsch HD Theater SB 3 To Your TV Remote

Easy, Three-Step Remote Programming

IMPORTANT NOTE: There is not a power on/off button on the front of the soundbar (there is a Main Power switch on the soundbar’s rear

panel). You do not need to turn off the soundbar (or subwoofer) when ﬁnished watching TV. When ﬁnished, turn off your TV (or Satellite or

Cable box if the soundbar is connected to that). The soundbar (and the subwoofer) will automatically go into a Standby or “sleep” mode

if they do not receive an audio signal from your TV, Satellite or Cable Box for approximately 10 minutes. Standby mode is indicated by a

solid red status light on the soundbar front and on the subwoofer rear panel. When your TV, Satellite or Cable box is turned back on and a

signal is again received, the soundbar (and subwoofer) will automatically come out of Standby mode and turn on.

STEP ONE (Place the unit in learning mode): With the status light showing solid GREEN,

press and hold the <SOURCE> and <MUTE> buttons on the front of the soundbar at the

same time (approximately 3 seconds) until the status light ﬂashes RED and GREEN.

The following 3 steps should be used to program each function of your TV or cable box

remote control buttons (MUTE, VOLUME UP, and VOLUME DOWN). IF THE SOUNDBAR IS

IN STANDBY MODE (solid RED status light), push the <SOURCE> button on the sound-

bar until the status light is solid GREEN.

STEP TWO (Select the function to learn): Press the <MUTE> button once on the soundbar

(the status light changes to solid ORANGE). (Substitute the VOLUME UP, and VOLUME DOWN

in place of <MUTE> when programming the other buttons during this step)

STEP THREE (Learn the function): Hold your remote control within one foot (30m) of the

soundbar. Slowly press the <MUTE> button on your remote control four times. On the

ﬁrst three presses, the status indicator light will ﬂicker ORANGE with each press. If the

unit has successfully learned the function, on the fourth press of the button, the light

will ﬂash GREEN several times and then turn to solid GREEN. (Remember to use the

VOLUME UP, and VOLUME DOWN in place of <MUTE> when programming the other

buttons during this step)

To program the remaining functions, simply repeat all steps, substituting <MUTE>

with the new function and button presses (VOLUME UP, and VOLUME DOWN) on steps

TWO and THREE.
