Bluetooth Wireless

Pairing a Bluetooth Device for the First Time

When first powered on the sound bar defaults to Bluetooth mode. A voice will say, “Bluetooth”, and the LED indicator will slowly flash blue. When pairing, remain within 3 feet of the Bluetooth device.
Using the controls on your Bluetooth device, select 178259 in the Bluetooth Settings to pair. If need be, refer to the user’s manual for your specific device for more information.
When successfully paired, a voice will announce, ‘Bluetooth is connected °, and the LED indicator will turn solid blue. Audio from the connected Bluetooth device will now be heard through the speaker.
Use the controls on the connected Bluetooth device to select and play audio. Use the speaker controls or the connected Bluetooth device to play, pause, and adjust the volume level.
After initial pairing, whenever the sound bar is powered on, the sound bar will automatically connect to the last Bluetooth device used. Note: If your device should become unpaired or you find it is unable to connect, press & hold the Play button on remote or press the Pair/Learn button on the soundbar to enter pairing mode. A voice will announce, “Bluetooth is connecting”, and you can connect to the speaker manually.

Playing Audio Wirelessly

After pairing to a Bluetooth device, use the controls on the connected Bluetooth Device to select a track.
Play, pause or skip a selected track using the controls on the connected Bluetooth Device or the soundbar’s remote.
Audio played through the connected Bluetooth device will now be heard through the speakers.

Party Plus Mode

If you have another 178259 soundbar, you can pair and play the two together for a surround sound effect, or have two playing in different rooms.

To enter Party Plus Mode, please make sure the unit is in Bluetooth mode. Quickly press the Pair/Learn button twice on one of the soundbars..
When the two soundbars are paired together a voice will announce the connection.
Connect your Bluetooth device to the bars using the steps from the”Pairing a Bluetooth Device for the First Time” section above.
Use your device to select and play tracks. The audio will now be heard through both soundbars.
To disconnect the soundbars, quickly press the Pair/Learn button twice.
Note: To use Party Plus Mode, please make sure that you connect the soundbars before pairing to your Bluetooth device. You will not be able to connect the two soundbars if you are already paired to a Bluetooth device.

Remote Learning

What Is the Learn Feature?
The Learn feature captures remote commands from your television remote, and teaches your soundbar to operate when these commands are pressed. Power, volume and mute are a few examples of commands that the bar speaker can learn.

Why Use the Learn Feature?
Teaching the bar speaker remote commands will reduce the number of remotes needed, save time searching for remote codes, and improve the ease of operation.
Note: Not all functions of the sound bar will be available through your own remote control, such as bass and treble. Use the included remote for these functions. While your 1T8259 sound bar is able to learn most IR protocols, not all can be programmed.

Using the Learn Feature

With the power Off, press the Learn button on the unit. An indicator will flicker red.
Press the button you desire to be learned on the included remote. For example: Volume +
The red light will continue to flicker, and another indicator will display a blue light.
Press the corresponding button on your remote.
The red light will continue to flicker, and another indicator will display a green light.
When the green light turns off, the button command is saved.
The programmed button on your remote will now be able to control your sound bar.
Note: It is necessary to program each button i.e. channel and volume + and – separately.
To start over, press and hold the Learn/Pair button for 5 seconds. If the sound bar has failed to learn a command, the LED indicator will display an orange light. Please try again with a different remote

Audio Inputs

Optical Input
Requires an audio source with an Optical Audio Output and a Digital Optical Audio Cable (included).

Using a Digital Optical Audio Cable, connect the Optical Input on the sound bar to the Optical Output on your audio source (TV, amplifier, etc.).
Power ON the sound bar and press Optical on the remote or Source on the sound bar to select Optical Mode. A voice will announce the source mode and the indicator will turn orange.
On the connected audio source (TV, amplifier, etc.), be sure the audio settings are set to PCM or Optical Audio.
Audio played through the connected audio source (TV, amplifier, etc.) should now be heard through the speaker.

Important tips for optical audio:

Use the correct optical audio cable and make sure that it is firmly seated in both source and sound bar sockets.
Optical audio output is activated from the audio source (a red light should be visible from the optical socket). It may be labeled SPDIF in the settings menu of the source.
The optical output source should be set to output PCM and not Dolby Digital.

Stereo RCA Inputs (Aux In)
Requires RCA stereo audio cable (not included). When connecting RCA stereo audio plugs (Red/White), match them to their corresponding color coded ports.

Connect an RCA stereo audio cable to the Aux In ports on the sound bar and the RCA audio outputs on a television or other audio source.
Power ON the sound bar and press Source on the sound bar or Aux In on the remote to select Aux In Mode. A voice will announce the source mode and the indicator will turn white for Aux In.
Audio played through the television or other source should now be heard through the speakers.

Line In
Requires a 3.5mm audio cable (not included).

Connect a 3.5mm audio cable to the Line In on the unit and the audio output/headphone jack on an audio device.
Power ON the sound bar and press Source on the sound bar or Line In on the remote to select Line In Mode. A voice will announce the source mode and the indicator will turn green.
