not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.

CAUTION

• TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE

BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.

• This apparatus shall always be connected to a

AC outlet with a protective grounding

connection.

• To disconnect the apparatus from the mains,

the plug must be pulled out from the mains

socket, therefore the mains plug shall be

readily operable.

• Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or

splashing. Do not put objects lled with

liquids, such as vases on the apparatus.

• To turn this apparatus off completely, you

must pull the power plug out of the wall

Wiring the Main Power Supply

Plug (UK Only)

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with

a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of

the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug

and if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to

BS1362 of the same rating must be used.

Never use the plug with the fuse cover removed.

If the cover is detachable and a replacement is

required, it must be of the same colour as the fuse

tted in the plug. Replacement covers are

available from your dealer. If the tted plug is not

suitable for the power points in your house or the

cable is not long enough to reach a power point,

you should obtain a suitable safety approved

extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance.

ENG - 3

However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the

plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of

the plug. Do not connect the plug to a mains

socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the

bared exible cord. Never attempt to insert bare

wires directly into a mains socket. A plug and fuse

must be used at all times.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in

accordance with the following code:– BLUE =

NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE As these colours may not

correspond to the coloured markings identifying

the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:– The

wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the

terminal marked with the letter N or coloured

BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must

be connected to the terminal marked with the

letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.

WARNING : DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO

THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH

THE LETTER E OR BY THE EARTH SYMBOL ,

OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN AND YELLOW.

• If you use a device that uses the same frequency (5.8GHz) as the Soundbar near the Soundbar,

interference may cause some sound interruption.

• The maximum transmission distance of the main unit’s wireless signal is about 10 m, but may vary

depending on your operating environment. If a steel-concrete or metallic wall is between the main

unit and the wireless subwoofer, the system may not operate at all because the wireless signal

cannot penetrate metal.

CAUTION

• Wireless receiving antennas are built into the wireless subwoofer. Keep the unit away from water

and moisture.

• For optimal listening performance, make sure that the area around the wireless subwoofer and the

Wireless Receiver Module (sold separately) is clear of any obstructions.

NOTES

• When you connect the TV that supports the HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) to the Soundbar

with an HDMI cable, you can transmit the digital video and audio data without connecting a

separate optical cable.

• We recommend you use a coreless HDMI cable if possible. If you use a cored HDMI cable, use one

whose diameter is less than 14 mm.

• This function is not available if the HDMI cable does not support ARC.

• When the audio in a broadcast is encoded in Dolby Digital and the “Digital Output Audio Format” on

your TV is set to PCM, we recommend that you change the setting to Dolby Digital. When the

setting on the TV is changed, you will experience better sound quality. (The TV menu may use

different words for Dolby Digital and PCM depending on the TV manufacturer.)

Method 2. Connecting using an Optical Cable

Pre-connection Checklist

• When both the HDMI cable and optical cable are connected, the HDMI signal is received rst.

09 INSTALLING THE

WALL MOUNT

Installation Precautions

• Install on a vertical wall only.

• Do not install in a place with high

temperature or humidity.

• Verify whether the wall is strong enough to

support the product’s weight. If not, reinforce

the wall or choose another installation point.

• Purchase and use the xing screws or

anchors appropriate for the kind of wall you

have (plaster board, iron board, wood, etc.). If

possible, x the support screws into wall

studs.

• Purchase wall mounting screws according to

the type and thickness of the wall you want to

mount the Soundbar on.

– Diameter: M5

– Length: 35 mm or longer recommended.

rear of the Subwoofer is on in blue.

Reconnect the Soundbar and Subwoofer if

the indicator is blinking in blue or turned

red. (See page 16.)

; You may experience an issue if there is an

obstacle between the Soundbar and

Subwoofer. Move devices to an area away

from obstacles.

; Other devices sending radio frequency

signals in proximity may interrupt the

connection.

Keep your speaker away from such devices.

; Remove and reconnect the power plug.

The Subwoofer volume is too low

; The original volume of the content you are

playing may be low. Try adjusting the

Subwoofer level. (See page 12.)

In case Bluetooth sound breaking occurs

; Sounds may be breaking due to

interference by radio frequency or

electronic devices nearby. Keep such

devices away from the Soundbar to avoid

radio interference. Example: microwave

ovens.

; Because the device to connect is far away

from the Soundbar, sound breaking may

occur. Move the device near the Soundbar.

; If a part of your body is in contact with the

Bluetooth transceiver or the product is

installed on metal furniture, sound

breaking may occur. Check the installation

environment and conditions for use.

In case Wi-Fi connection is not possible

; Check whether your wireless router is on.

; Turn off the router, turn it back on, and then

try again.

; When the signal of the wireless router is

too weak, connection may not be possible.
