Connecting to the Mains Supply

Ensure that the power supply voltage is within the range of 110V -240V ~ 50Hz/60Hz. Any other voltage may cause damage to the unit.

The Sierra Plus comes with a power adapter for the soundbar. Make sure to unwind the cable to its full length. Connect the plug to a mains socket by fully inserting the plug into the mains socket.

Connect the adapter to the AC power port in the back of the soundbar (Back View Ref.6).
The display panel will show „–„ to indicate it has registered a power source and is on standby mode.
Press the „POWER‟ button on the remote control (Remote Control Ref.1) or press and hold the „POWER‟ button for 3 seconds on the top of the soundbar (Front and Top View Ref.2) to turn the unit on or off.

Connecting the Soundbar and Wireless Subwoofer

Please note: The soundbar and subwoofer must be within a 10 metre range of each other in order to be successfully connected.

The subwoofer and soundbar will wirelessly connect for a surround sound experience. This allows you to place the subwoofer in the corner of the room to ensure that the sound from your TV fills the room.

To connect them, please ensure that your soundbar is switched on for the initial setup. To do this, press the „POWER‟ button (Front and Top View Ref.2) on the unit or the „POWER‟ button on the remote control (Remote Control Ref.1).

The subwoofer has an indicator light (Subwoofer Back View Ref.1)- this will flash when looking for a connection, and show a solid light when connected.

If you encounter issues at this stage, please refer to the user manual for your Bluetooth device.

When successfully paired and connected, a confirmation „BEEP‟ will issue from the unit and the indicator display will show „BLUETOOTH‟ (Front and Top View Ref.1). After the initial pairing, the unit will stay paired unless unpaired manually by the user, or until the device is reset.

To unpair, hold down the „PAIR‟ button on the remote control for 3 seconds (Remote Control Ref.2). You can now pair the soundbar with another Bluetooth device.

If your device should become unpaired or you find it is unable to connect, repeat the steps above.

Volume Control
To adjust the volume of the soundbar, press either the „Volume Up‟ or Volume Down‟ buttons on the remote control (Remote Control Ref.3/Ref.5) . Alternatively, press and hold the „Volume Up‟ or Volume Down‟ buttons on the top of the soundbar (Front and Top View Ref.3/Ref.4).

Dolby Atmos

DOLBY ATMOS is only available in „HDMI IN‟ and „HDMI OUT‟ (ARC) modes. For the details of the connection, please refer to HDMI input and HDMI output.

When the Sierra receives a Dolby Atmos signal, the front display will scroll “Dolby Atmos/Dolby Surround”. This scrolling display is only temporary and will last for 3 seconds. This will happen at the start of the film or the studio intro.

If you never see this scrolling message you will need to follow the guidance below to achieve Dolby Atmos.

To play Atmos on the Sierra Plus, the player or streaming product needs to be Atmos capable. To use Dolby Atmos in HDMI 1 /HDMI 2 / HDMI ARC mode, your TV has to support Dolby Atmos.
The UHD (Ultra-High-Definition)/Blu-ray player or TV must have the digital output settings set to Bitstream, often labelled with references to „Cinema Surround‟ or „Dolby‟. “The UHD/Blue-Ray disc must be Dolby Atmos-enabled”. The TV may not be able to pass through the Atmos stream to the soundbar even though it is capable of processing Atmos itself.
workaround for this is to suggest a direct connection from the player to the soundbar. For example, if your TV or DVD player has 2 x HDMI outputs. 1 is labelled “Audio/Video”. You can connect this to the TV for the picture. The second connection is labelled “Audio only”. This can be connected directly to the Sierra Plus. If the player output is set to bitstream, then the Sierra Plus will output Atmos and display Atmos when it first sees the stream.
