IR remote learning function (optional)

Your soundbar can learn 12 button codes from most remote controls, so you can easily control the sound with both the soundbar remote and the

4 Short press the button on the other remote control you want to teach. The

Status indicator blinks green once. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to learn and match more remote buttons you want. The soundbar has learned the code and matched step 3 button function to this remote button.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 to have your other remote learn more functions.

The soundbar will exit learning mode after 20 seconds, or you can press and hold the button on the soundbar for two seconds to stop learning mode.

3 Short press the other remote control button and the status indicator blinks blue once when your soundbar receives this button.

4 Short press the same button again. The status indicator blinks green once when your soundbar match one function in preset sequence to this remote button.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 to match more functions to the remote you want to program, or short press button on the soundbar so the learning function on current button will be skipped. The soundbar will auto exit the learning mode if there is no operation for 20 seconds, or you can press and hold the button on the soundbar for two seconds to exit the learning mode.
