• If the input is changed back to Bluetooth, the most recently connected Bluetooth device will reconnect automatically.
• If the soundbar input is changed, the Bluetooth device will disconnect.
A Bluetooth signal has a range of up to 30 feet. Keep in mind that Bluetooth is a compressed audio format, so streamed music
may lose some integrity when compared to a wired connection. Try the following if your sound quality is less than optimal:
• If you hear any break-up or you are disconnected while streaming music from your device, move the source device closer
to the soundbar.
• Be sure that there are no solid obstructions in the line-of-sight between the soundbar and the source device.
