NOTES · Do not connect the power cord of this product or your TV to a wall
outlet until all connections between components are complete. · Before moving
or installing this product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the
power cord. · If the main unit is powered off, the wireless subwoofer will go
into stand-by mode and the STANDBY LED on the rear of the sub-woofer will turn
red after blinking blue several times. · If you use a device that uses the
same frequency (5.8GHz) as the Soundbar near the Soundbar, interference may
cause some sound interruption. · The maximum transmission distance of the main
unit’s wireless signal is about 10 m, but may vary depending on your operating
environment. If a steel-concrete or metallic wall is between the main unit and
the wireless subwoofer, the system may not operate at all because the wireless
signal cannot penetrate metal.
PRECAUTIONS · Wireless receiving antennas are built into the wireless
subwoofer. Keep the unit away from water and moisture. · For optimal listening
performance, make sure that the area around the wireless subwoofer and the
Wireless Receiver Module (sold separately) is clear of any obstructions.

wireless connection.
· A Bluetooth device may cause noise or malfunction, depending on usage, if:
A part of your body is in contact with the receiving/transmitting system of
the Bluetooth device or the Soundbar. It is subject to electrical variation
from obstructions caused by a wall, corner, or office partition. It is
exposed to electrical interference from same frequency-band devices including
medical equipment, microwave ovens, and wireless LANs.
· Pair the Soundbar with the Bluetooth device while they are close together. ·
The further the distance between the Soundbar and Bluetooth device, the worse
the quality is.
If the distance exceeds the Bluetooth operational range, the connection is
lost. · In poor reception areas, the Bluetooth connection may not work
properly. · The Bluetooth connection only works when it is close to the unit.
The connection will be
automatically cut off if the Bluetooth device is out of range. Even within
