Wake-on-signal technology
The Sound Bar is equipped with Wake-on-signal technology. This means that the Sound Bar is able to
automatically power on and off, if there is a signal present on one of the four connected sources.
For the USB input the soundbar looks for an active 5V signal in order for it to be detected as an active source.
For the HDMI(ARC) input the connected TV automatically powers on and off the soundbar using CEC when the
TV turns on and off. On some TV brands, it should be configured to use ARC as audio output and/or use CEC
to control the connected audio device’s power state. Check your TV manual for recommended settings
regarding ARC and CEC.
To trigger the Sound Bar to wake using the UNBALANCED (RCA) and BALANCED input, it needs to detect a
signal on the inputs. The signal sense trigger level is not adjustable.
When the Sound Bar have powered on the activating input source will be kept as the active source for as long as there
is a signal. When the signal is removed, the Sound Bar will be kept on for an additional 3 minutes before automatically
powering off again. And the wake-on-signal function will start over again sensing for an active signal.
The volume level for Wake-on-signal will be last used volume. That means coming from the factory the Sound Bar will
wake up at level 70 out of 100. If another volume level is needed for the specific application the volume should be
adjusted by RS-232 command.
When the Sound Bar is powered off the Sound Bar will sense on the audio inputs for one second at a time in a
circular manner. This means, that the time from activating the source until the Sound Bar starts the power on
process can take up to 2 seconds. So, in order to power on the Sound Bar simply output a signal on one of the
connected sources.
