Connecting the wireless subwoofer manually

If you see a red LED on the front of the wireless subwoofer, it means that the sound bar is not connected to the 
subwoofer. If this is the case, connect them in the following order.

Press the 

Power

   button on the sound bar to turn it off.

Press the 

PAIRING

 button on the back of the wireless subwoofer. Check if the LED on the front of the 

subwoofer is blinking green. If you still see a red LED on the wireless subwoofer, press and hold the button on 
the back of the subwoofer again.

Press the 

Power

   button on the sound bar to turn it on. 

When the connection is established, you will see the LED light on the front of the wireless subwoofer light up 
green.

 Note

• 

Install the sound bar as close to the wireless subwoofer as possible. The closer the distance between the sound 
bar and the wireless subwoofer, the better the sound quality.

• 

Please ensure there are no obstacles between the sound bar and the wireless subwoofer.

• 

To prevent wireless interference, maintain a distance of at least 1 m between the sound bar or the wireless 
subwoofer and any peripheral devices that generate strong electromagnetic waves (ex. wireless routers, 
microwave ovens, etc.).
