“ VOLUME BEEF UP” FUNCTION
6
After testing on a variety of TV models, we found that the soundbar's volume is limited by the audio
output power of the TV itself. The audio output power of different brands of TVs will vary. For TVs
with low audio output power, we have developed a “VOLUME BEEF UP” function to increase the
soundbar volume level.
If the thesound baris no louderthanyourTV speakers even at the maxvolumelevel, please kindly
try to enable the Volume+ function following the below steps.
How to enable the ”VOLUME BEEF UP” function
How to disable the “VOLUME BEEF UP” function

2. Then the soundbar will go to ”VOLUME BEEF UP” function enable/disable surface
3. Press the (VOL-) button on the soundbar remote control twice

If your TV's audio output power is high enough, after activating the “VOLUME BEEF UP” function, the soundbar
mayexperience distortion, crackling, static, noise, unexpected poor sound qualityor trigger power protection.
In this case, please disable the “VOLUME BEEF UP” function

file onto a USB drive. Make sure there is nothing else on the USB drive and do not put
the files in any kind of folder. PHEANOO recommends using a 2gb flash drive and the
