Sound Settings/Bluetooth Mode

Sound Settings
Use the EQ settings buttons ((Ref.19), (Ref.18) and (Ref.24)) to switch between music (EQ1), film (EQ2) and news (EQ3) EQ settings. The ‘music’ setting is best suited for listening to music, ‘film’ is best suited for watching films, and ‘news’ is best suited for vocal audio such as news or speech.
For a richer, deeper room-filling sound, select 3D mode (Ref.21).
Bluetooth Mode
To connect an external device to the Majority Saxon, ensure that the soundbar is in ‘Bluetooth’ mode. Select ‘Bluetooth’ mode manually by using the ‘BT’ button (Ref.3)/(Ref.20) or the ‘Mode’ button (Ref.22)/ (Ref.2) until ‘bt’ is displayed on the Soundbar LED display (Ref.1). The LED display will flash to indicate that the soundbar is in Bluetooth pairing mode.
Switch Bluetooth on for your external device. Select ‘Majority Saxon’ from the list of devices.
When your external device is connected, the soundbar will make a short sound to indicate a successful connection, and the LED  display will no longer flash. You can now play audio through the soundbar. When Bluetooth is disconnected, the soundbar will make a short sound to indicate successful disconnection.

Using the ARC Input

You will need an audio source with an ARC audio output and an HDMI cable (not included).
Connect an HDMI ARC compatible device to the ARC port on the soundbar (Ref.9) by using a standard HDMI cable.
Press the MODE button on the remote control (Ref.22) or on the unit (Ref.2) until ARC mode is displayed on the LED screen (Ref.1).
Using the native controls on your connected device, ensure the audio output settings are set to ARC or HDMI Audio.

Using the Optical Input

You will need An audio source with an Optical Audio Output and a Digital Optical Audio cable (not included).
Connect the Optical cable from the soundbar (Ref.8) to your audio source.
Press the MODE button on the remote control (Ref.22) or on the unit (Ref.2) until OPTICAL mode (‘OPT’) is displayed on the LED screen (Ref.1).
Using the native controls on your connected device, make sure the audio settings are set to PCM, Optical SPDIF, or Optical Audio.

Using the AUX Connection

Plug one end of a 3.5mm audio input cable (included) into the AUX input on the unit (Ref.10).
Plug the other end of the cable into the audio output/headphone output on your audio source.
Press the Mode button (Ref.2)/(Ref.22) until AUX mode is displayed on the soundbar LED display (Ref.1).

USB Mode

To use USB mode, insert a USB drive into the USB port at the back of the soundbar (Ref.7). The soundbar will automatically switch to USB mode and begin playing the first compatible track. If necessary, you may need to select ‘USB’ mode using the ‘Mode’ button (Ref.22)/(Ref.2).
Press repeat (Ref.25) once to enable single track repeat, and twice to repeat all tracks.
Due to the soundbar’s inbuilt memory function, a USB flash drive that has previously been used with the soundbar will resume from the last played track position when inserted.
Please note that USB drives must be formatted in FAT32 format to be compatible with the Majority Saxon. Guidance on how to format your USB drive in FAT32 format can be found at: https://www.wikihow.com/Format-FAT32
