ES-500-SNDBAR Installation and Users Manual
Installing an IR Receiver
The ES-500-SNDBAR has the option of installing an optional IR Receiver directly into the speaker
behind the grille cloth, eliminating the need to surface mount a stick-on receiver. Simply punch out the
center of the pass-through and slide the IR Receiver through the exposed hole.

To maintain accurate IR reception, a spacer has
been included to allow for the front edge of the
IR receiver to be flush with the back of the grille
cloth. This will ensure that IR reception is at its
maximum level.
TIP: With some IR receivers, a layer of electrical tape around
the threads can create a more snug fit within the Soundbar.

Installing on a Flat Panel Mount
The ES-500-SNDBAR can be mounted directly to a Flat Panel Mount with the Strong™ SM-SBAR-BKT
bracket (available separately). Using the Flat Panel mount bracket allows for the speaker to move with
the TV when mounted to articulating arm mounts. This provides an optimum listening experience for
these installations.
