Sound drops out when connected via Bluetooth.

• Some devices can cause radio interference if they are located too close to the Wireless Speaker. e. g. microwaves, wireless routers, etc.
• If your device that is connected via Bluetooth moves too far away from the Wireless Speaker, it may cause the sound to drop out. Move the device closer to the Wireless Speaker.
• If a part of your body is in contact with the Bluetooth transceiver or the product is installed on metal furniture, the sound may drop out. Check the installation environment and conditions for use.

Wireless Speaker will not connect to Wi-Fi.

• Check whether your wireless router is on.

• The Wireless Speaker will not connect if the wireless signal is too weak. Try moving the router closer to the Wireless Speaker, or eliminating any obstacles that are between the Wireless Speaker and the router, if possible.

The AVA function is not available in the following cases.

• The AVA function will not be available using Q-symphony function.

After connecting the TV to the Wireless Speaker, I switched the Wireless Speaker mode. Then no sound is output from the TV.

• If you connect your Wireless Speaker to a mobile device while the Wireless Speaker is connected to the TV, the Wireless Speaker outputs sound from the mobile device while keeping the TV connection. So the TV sound will not be delivered anywhere.
• Disconnect the mobile device, and the TV sound will be output from the Wireless Speaker again.
