Installation Precautions

• Install on a vertical wall only.

• For the installation, avoid a location with high temperature or humidity, or a wall that cannot sustain the weight of the set.

• Check the strength of the wall. If the wall is not strong enough to support the unit, reinforce the wall or install the unit on different wall that can support the unit's weight.

• Purchase and use the fixing screws or mollys appropriate for the kind of wall you have (plaster board, iron board, wood, etc.). If possible, fix the support screws into wall studs.

• Connect cables from the unit to external devices before you install it on the wall.

• Make sure the unit is turned off and unplugged before you install it. Otherwise, it may cause an electric shock.

1. Place the wall mount bracket on a wall surface and then secure it with two screws (not supplied).

If you are hanging the unit below a TV, be sure to install the wall mount bracket so that the arrow ( ) is placed in the center of the TV.

Also make sure the unit is at least two inches (5 cm) below the TV.

2. Align the screw holders (Holder-screw, AH61-03342A) with the screw holes on the back of the Main Unit. Insert the supplied screws through the screw holders, and then screw them into the Main Unit.

3. Insert the USB converter into the unit before installing it on the wall.

4. Fit the unit into the corresponding slots of the wall mount bracket. For secure installation, make sure the mounting studs slide firmly down into the bottom of the slots.

BLUETOOTH

PLUS

You can use a Bluetooth device to enjoy music with high quality stereo sound, all without wires!

What is Bluetooth?

Bluetooth is a technology that enables Bluetooth-compliant devices to interconnect easily with each other using a short wireless connection.

• A Bluetooth device may cause noise or malfunction, depending on usage, when:

- A part of your body is in contact with the receiving/transmitting system of the Bluetooth device or the

Soundbar.

- It is subject to electrical variation from obstructions caused by a wall, corner, or office partition.

- It is exposed to electrical interference from same frequency-band devices including medical equipment, microwave ovens, and wireless LANs.

• Pair the Soundbar with the Bluetooth device while they are close together.

• The further the distance is between Soundbar and Bluetooth device, the worse the quality is.

If the distance exceeds the Bluetooth operational range, the connection is lost.

• In poor reception-sensitivity areas, the Bluetooth connection may not work properly.

• The Bluetooth connection only works when the Bluetooth device is close to the set. The connection will be automatically cut off if the Bluetooth device is out of range. Even within range, the sound quality may be degraded by obstacles such as walls or doors.

• This wireless device may cause electric interference during its operation.

functions

• The currently connected device will be disconnected.

▪

In Bluetooth connection mode, the Bluetooth connection will be lost if the distance between the

Soundbar and the Bluetooth device exceeds 16.25 ft. (5m).

▪

If the Bluetooth device comes back into the effective range after disconnecting, you can restart the

Soundbar to restore the pairing with the Bluetooth device.

Using the Bluetooth Power On
