ment or swimming pool. Never place con-
tainers lled with liquids, such as e.g. ower
vases, on the device.
1.1.4 Ventilation
Slots and openings in the housing are used
to ventilate the device to ensure reliable
operation of the device and to protect the
device from overheating. Do not block the
ventilation holes. Install the device accord-
ing to the manufacturer's instructions. Nev-
er block the ventilation holes by placing the
device on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar soft
surfaces. This device should not be installed
in a bookshelf or built-in wardrobe unless
adequate ventilation is ensured.
1.1.5 Heat
Do not install the device near hot surfaces,
such as radiators, fan heaters, stoves or oth-
er devices (including ampliers) that can be
hot. Never place objects with open ame,
such as candles or lanterns, on or near the
device. The installed batteries should not
be exposed to excessive heat such as direct
sunlight, re or the like.
1.1.6 Accessories

5 Connecting the
soundbar
Before you make or change any connections, make
sure that all devices are disconnected from the power
outlet.
5.1 Connecting with HDMI
Option 1 - eARC/ARC
(enhanced / Audio Return Channel)
Your klang bar supports HDMI with enhanced Audio
Return Channel (eARC/ARC). If your TV is HDMI ARC
compliant, you can control your klang bar via HDMI
CEC and transmit TV sound to your klang bar by using
a single HDMI cable.
HDMI eARC/ARC
HDMI OUT
TV eARC
1. On your TV, turn on HDMI-CEC operations.
2. Using a High Speed HDMI cable (included), con-
nect the HDMI OUT (TV eARC/ARC) connector
on your Soundbar to the HDMI ARC connector on
the TV. The HDMI ARC connector on the TV might
be labeled differently. For details, see the TV user
manual.
3. “eARC/ARC”appears on the display of the sound-
bar and the soundbar plays the TV sound. When
the TV sound is not output, press the (Source)
button repeatedly until you see eARC or ARC on the
display and TV sound is played.
When HDMI ARC connection is properly set up, you
can enjoy these features:
• The soundbar turns on automatically when you
turn on the TV.
• The soundbar turns off automatically when you
turn off the TV.
• You can mute/unmute or adjust the volume of the
soundbar using the TV remote control.
Note
• Your TV must support the HDMI-CEC and ARC
function. HDMI-CEC and ARC must be set to On.
• The setting method of HDMI-CEC and ARC may
differ depending on the TV. For details about ARC
function, please refer to your TV operating instruc-
tions.
• Only cables compatible with HDMI version 1.4 or
higher can support the ARC function. We recom-
mend using the included HDMI cable.
• For the eARC function, use the HDMI cable that
came with the soundbar or look for a cable marked
"with Ethernet".
• Some 4K HDR TVs require the HDMI input or pic-
ture settings to be set for HDR content reception.
For further setup details on HDR display, please
refer to the operating instructions of your TV.
Option 2 - Standard HDMI
If your TV is not HDMI ARC-compliant, connect your
Soundbar to the TV through a standard HDMI con-
nection.

8.3 Connecting wired speakers
Aside from wireless speakers, analogue ampliers or
active speakers can be connected to the soundbar via
the 6 cinch outputs on the rear. Only active speakers
or external analogue AVRs/ampliers can be con-
nected to the soundbar. The soundbar is not able to
power passive speakers by itself. Please refer to the
user manual of the amplier for more information
about connecting passive speakers.
Please connect the speakers to the correct soundbar
outputs according to the speakers position in your
room.

3. SUB – connect a subwoofer
4. CENTER – connect front centre speaker
5. REAR RIGHT (red coloured connector) – connect

6. FRONT RIGHT (red coloured connector) – con-
nect front right speaker
Depending on the type of speaker, set the switch on
the back of soundbar corresponding to the selected

8.4 Volume oset
If you're experiencing speaker level mismatch, the
soundbar supports dierent volume osets for each
channel. You can adjust the overall volume of each
speaker individually:
1. To enter the menu, press and hold (Surround)
button on the remote control. FL appears on the
soundbar display and the correspondig channel
starts to play reference noise.
2. Use + / - button to change the volume offset of the
selected channel.
3. Use / buttons to select a channel.
4. Switch between all channels and adjust the volume
until all channels are equally loud.
Display abbreviations explained:
FL – front left speaker
FR – front right speaker
SL – rear left speaker
SR – rear right speaker
SUB – subwoofer
CEN – centre speaker
8.5 Distance adjustment
External speakers are usually not evenly spaced
around the listener. For example, the front speakers
may be further away than the rear speakers. Due to a
relatively slow speed of sound, an audio output from
dierent speakers may reach the listener out of sync.
To avoid this, you can synchronise the speakers by
specifying the distance of each speaker from the lis-
tening position.
Follow these steps to set the distance:
1. Press and hold (Equalizer) button for 3 sec-
onds on the remote control. FL appears on the
soundbar display.
2. Use the + / - button to change the distance of the
selected speaker from the listening position.
3. Use / buttons to select a speaker.
Example: when the display shows "FL3,0", it means
that the current set distance for the left front speaker
is 3 meter. You should now measure the distance from
this speaker to the listening position and adjust it.
For example, if the distance is 2,5 meters, press the +
button until "FL2,5" is displayed. When you have n-
ished adjusting this speaker, press the button and
adjust the distance for the next speaker.
Note: In this way, you can also make a correction if
there are echo problems due to dierent signal pro-
cessing times of the connected devices.
