Plug your Paramount in a standard wall outlet using the
included 18V adaptor. Then, connect to your television
using the method of your choice. If you hear interference or
static, make sure your television, cable box, or streaming
device is not set to ‘Dolby Surround Sound’ or a similar
setting.
Experiment with the 3 audio enhancement presets found
on the Paramount by pressing the button. Each press
will cycle through the three preset modes: voice, cinema
and music enhancement. Fine-tune the bass and treble
with the remote control. The Paramount will remember the
last setting used when it is turned off, but treble and bass
adjustments are not remembered.
The Paramount has the ability to link with select televisions
using HDMI ARC. Using an HDMI cable on these televisions
will sync your television’s remote with the Paramount.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Power: Check if the power adaptor is properly connected to
the outlet and the Paramount. Confirm there is power running
through the outlet.
No audio: Check that the cables used are properly connected.
If the problem persists, try a different set of cables. Confirm
the Paramount is not muted or in standby mode.
Bluetooth connection: If you have previously connected
the Paramount to your device, forget it from your Bluetooth
settings. Then turn your device’s Bluetooth setting off, and
then turn off the Paramount. Wait 10 seconds then turn your
device’s Bluetooth setting back on. Turn on the Paramount,
and it will begin pairing as usual. If your device requires a
passcode, use 0000.
Interference / Distortion: Turn off the Paramount and
disconnect it from the power source. Let it stand for at least 2
minutes, then resume use. If one particular mode seems to be
problematic, try using an alternative input source.
Remote: Check for obstacles blocking the remote’s IR
signal. Try new batteries, and replace if necessary. Turn the
unit off, disconnect it from the power source and let stand
momentarily.

WALL MOUNTING
Mark the wall for the two screw holes needed at 26 1/4
inch (68cm). The holes should be centered on the wall
below the television.
Insert two screws to a height of 5mm to allow for the
soundbar to sit evenly on the wall.
Note - If you do not have a measuring tape, you can use
the long white cardboard protective insert that comes
on top of the soundbar as a wall guide by marking the
cardboard where the rear wallmount brackets are on the
back of the soundbar and placing on the wall to mark
where to place the screws as shown below.
Place the paper guide on the wall or
measure where you want to hang the
soundbar.
Verify with a level gauge that the
inclination angle of the soundbar is
zero degrees.
Locate the screw holes on the paper
guide and mark a point with a pencil.
Mark the holes with the corresponding
drill bit according to the type of wall.
It is advisable to leave no more
than 5mm between the head of the
screw and the wall to minimize the
inclination angle of the soundbar.
For a better sound experience, it is
advisable to place the soundbar at
head level.
