Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect my NAXA Bluetooth speaker to my TV?

• When the Source LED turns blue, press the STANDBY/SOURCE button (#7).
• Use the source device’s Bluetooth to look for other Bluetooth devices after turning it on.
• After a successful pairing, you may use your device to wirelessly stream music to the soundbar.

How do I connect my subwoofer to my TV?

The audio output port on your TV must first be found. Locate the audio input port on your subwoofer after plugging the HDMI wire into the TV’s connector. Connect the opposite end of the HDMI wire to the subwoofer once you’ve discovered that. There you have it, then!

Which connection is best for soundbar?

An HDMI cable is the ideal connection method for your soundbar and TV. Due to the fact that HDMI sends audio digitally, it will be unprocessed and raw. The best soundbars, including those that feature surround sound, may be connected to computers using HDMI cables.

How do I test my home theater subwoofer?

By listening to the sound, examining the woofer’s movement, and checking the coil with a multimeter, you may determine whether your subwoofer has blown. To determine whether your sub has blown, test the sound at a low volume.

How do subwoofers work?

Using a magnetic coil to produce cone vibration in the driver, the subwoofer amplifies the electricity and turns it to sound. Low-frequency sound waves are generated by this vibration and are propagated through the atmosphere.

What is LFE input on subwoofer?

LFE (Low Frequency Effects) outputs are a standard feature on almost all AV receivers and pre-amplifiers. Before the signal is transmitted to the subwoofer, the LFE channel, which is a mono signal, has already been filtered. A LFE mode will be present in almost all subwoofers.

Do I need optical cable for soundbar?

The majority of TVs and soundbars feature HDMI ports. Remember that an HDMI ARC or eARC cable and port are required. You’ll need an optical cable in addition to an HDMI cable if you don’t have this. You can connect your soundbar to your television using an HDMI 2.0b connection.

Can a subwoofer damage a house?

Damage to the house is highly improbable. Windows or other random objects could rattle, and things that aren’t properly anchored to the wall could fall. Very uncommon methods are required in order to provide wall flex with very low frequency output at high volume.

Can I leave my subwoofer on all the time?

If your subwoofer has an auto standby mode, you can leave it on always. Subwoofers that are in standby use less energy and last longer. Older subwoofers without this feature should be unplugged while not in use since electricity might escape as heat, which causes the amplifier to become hotter than usual.

What are the benefits of a subwoofer?

Subwoofers enhance the clarity and bass of your stereo system. They can also improve a system’s performance in a number of different ways. A good subwoofer will give your music the depth and realism you would otherwise lose with a standard car entertainment system.

Do subwoofers play music?

A subwoofer enables you to feel the sound, whereas bookshelf or floor-standing speakers only allow you to hear the bass. Watching a full-throttle action movie without a subwoofer or listening to bass-heavy music like hip hop or EDM both leave a lot to be desired.

What can damage a subwoofer?

Subwoofers are most frequently damaged by sending the automobile audio amplifier an excessive amount of signal. When an amplifier’s power supply voltages are reached by an audio signal with too much signal present, this is known as “clipping.” A “clipped” signal is the end result, which might harm the amplifier and subwoofer.

Where is the best place to place a subwoofer?

The output of a subwoofer may rise if it is placed in the corner of a room, making the sub sound louder. See how it sounds by trying to position your subwoofer in a corner. If the corner is too distant from your listening location, it might not be a good alternative for your subwoofer depending on your floor space.

What type of cable is used for subwoofers?

As a subwoofer cable is frequently routed over long distances and in conjunction with other cables, it normally has a robust shielding and is mono analogue audio, as it cannot be too sensitive to low-frequency noise.

Is a subwoofer a speaker?

A subwoofer (sometimes spelled sub) is a speaker that is specifically designed to reproduce the bass, which are low-pitched audio frequencies. Passive Sub: Passive subs are so-called because an external amplifier or Audio/Video (A/V) receiver is required to power them. Similar to conventional speakers, this
