Notes on Bluetooth connection
• Locate a new device within 1 m to connect via Bluetooth communication.
• If asked for a PIN code when connecting a Bluetooth device, enter <0000>.
• The Soundbar automatically turns off after 18 minutes in the Ready state.
• The Soundbar may not perform Bluetooth search or connection correctly under the following circumstances:
‒ If there is a strong electrical field around the Soundbar.
‒ If several Bluetooth devices are simultaneously paired with the Soundbar.
‒ If the Bluetooth device is turned off, not in place, or malfunctions.
• Electronic devices may cause radio interference. Devices that generate electromagnetic waves must be kept away from the Soundbar main
unit - e.g., microwaves, wireless LAN devices, etc.
• The Soundbar supports SBC data (44.1kHz, 48kHz).
• Connect only to a Bluetooth device that supports the A2DP (AV) function.
• You cannot connect the Soundbar to a Bluetooth device that supports only the HF (Hands Free) function.
• When connecting the Soundbar to a Bluetooth device, place them as close to each other as possible.
• The farther the Soundbar and Bluetooth device are from each other, the lower the sound quality will become.
The Bluetooth connection may break when the devices are out of the effective range.
• The Bluetooth connection may not function as intended in areas with poor reception.
