SB 30

Using Your Soundbar Speaker System 

Wireless Code Switches

In the unlikely event that you encounter interference when operating the system, or if you 

have more than one SB 30 system in operation, you may change the channel at which 

the wireless system operates. There are four-position Wireless Code switches on both 

the soundbar and subwoofer. To change the wireless channel, set each of the switches to 

one of the other three positions. 

IMPORTANT: The switches on the soundbar and the 

subwoofer must be set to the same position for the wireless system to work.

NOTE: 

If you put the soundbar into the Standby mode manually, you can turn it back on 

only by manually pressing the Power button again.

Auto turn-on: 

The soundbar has a signal detector that will automatically turn the unit on 

when it senses an audio signal at any of its inputs. To minimize power consumption, the 

signal detector is not activated unless the soundbar first senses any kind of IR remote 

signal. Once the soundbar’s signal detector has been activated, the unit will automatically 

turn from Standby to on as soon as it detects an input signal at any of its source input 

connections.

Auto turn-off:

 The soundbar will automatically enter the Standby mode if no audio signal 

is detected at any of its source input connections for approximately 15 minutes.

Turning the Subwoofer On and Off

The subwoofer will automatically turn on when it receives an audio signal from the 

soundbar, and it will return to the Standby mode when it has received no audio signal for 

15 minutes. The subwoofer’s Power LED will turn blue when the subwoofer is on and will 

turn amber when the subwoofer is in Standby.

Subwoofer Volume Control 

Use the subwoofer’s Volume control to balance its volume with that of the soundbar. Once 

you find the proper balance between the subwoofer and the soundbar, the soundbar’s 

Volume Up/Down buttons will control the volume of the entire system, and you should not 

have to readjust the subwoofer’s Volume control.

Notes on setting subwoofer volume

•  Sometimes the ideal subwoofer volume setting for music is too loud for films, 

while the ideal setting for films is too quiet for music. When setting the subwoofer’s 

Volume control, listen to both music and films with strong bass content and find a 

“middle ground” volume level that works for both.

•  If your subwoofer always seems too loud or too quiet, you may want to place it in 

a different location. Placing the subwoofer in a corner will always tend to increase 

its bass output, while placing it away from any walls or corners will always tend to 

lessen its bass output.
