FOR THE BEST SOUND
It's easy. Just center the SurroundBar SDA under your TV
screen. Using the supplied cradle mounts, place the SurroundBar
SDA slightly
in front of your TV. If your TV is housed in amedia
center, you can place the SurroundBar SDA above the
TV. The
SurroundBar SDA can also sit on aflat surface without using
the cradles.
If your TV is wall mounted, the SurroundBar SDA can mount right
beneath it. The SurroundBar SDA has built-in keyhole slots that
make it easy. Use the supplied wall mount template so that the
speaker
is centered beneath your TV.
WHERE TO LOCATE YOUR WIRELESS
SUBWOOFER FOR THE BEST SOUND
Your wireless subwoofer is really easy to place and can go just
about anywhere in the room. Plus you don't have to worry about
connecting wires, because the only wire you have
to plug in is
the power cord to an AC outlet. And that's it.
Here's alittle trick: If you place your subwoofer in acorner
of your room, it will reinforce the subwoofer's output. making
it sound louder.

Receiving asignal from acable/satellite box makes it easier to
set up your SurroundBar SDA Instant Home Theater System. If,
however, you have additional sources (like aDVD player) you may
need to take the audio signal from your TV so you
can have sound

all of your other sources.
HOW TO CONNECT YOUR WIRELESS SUBWOOFER
Your wireless subwoofer receives awireless audio signal from
the SurroundBar SDA, so
all you need to do is plug it into an
AC outlet.

GET READY FOR GREAT SOUND
A few easy steps, and you're ready to start enjoying your
SurroundBa~SDAe Instant Home Theater.
1Connect the Surround
Bar SDA power supply to the
SurroundBarSDA
and plug the other end into an AC outlet.
2Plug the subwoofer power cord into
an AC outlet
and into the back
of the wireless subwoofer.
3
Turn on the power switches on both the
SurroundBarSDA
and the wireless subwoofer.
4
Turn on the other components in your system
and tune
to afamiliar channel.
You should hear sound from the SurroundBar SDA. If you don't,
turn up the volume
on the SurroundBar SDA using its volume
control buttons.
If your Surround
Bar SDA is connected to your TV, try adjusting
the volume using the
TV remote control. If the volume level
of your Surround Bar SDA changes, it means it is connected
to a"variable" output. The mute control on your remote control
should also work.
In this case you do not have to program your
SurroundBar SDA to respond to your remote control. If the
volume level does not change, refer to page 9
"HOW TO
SET UP AREMOTE CONTROL FOR YOUR SurroundBar SDA."
If your SurroundBar SDA is connected
to your TV, there's avery
good chance your
TV speakers are also playing. It's impossible
to give specific instructions on how to turn off the speakers for
every
TV, but here's away to do it that covers many of the TVs
out there.
1
On your TV remote control, find a "menu" or "setup" button.
2Press this button.
You should see an on-screen menu.
3Next, look for
an option to control audio functions
and select it.
The setting
to turn off your TV's internal speakers should be here.
HOW TO OPTIMIZE THE SOUND WHEN
TV SPEAKERS ARE ON
If you can't turn off your TV internal speakers, don't worry.
Your SurroundBar SDA will make your TV sound much better.
To enjoy the best performance from your SurroundBar SDA,
you'll want it to play louder than your TV. Use the following
steps
to adjust the volume balance between your TV and
the SurroundBar SDA:
1If necessary program your SurroundBar SDA to respond
to the volume
up and down control commands of your TV
remote. (See "HOW TO SETUP AREMOTE CONTROL
FOR YOUR Surround Bar SDA." on page 9.)
2 Turn your TV volume all the way down using the control
buttons on your
TV.
3Then, using the volume control buttons on your
SurroundBar
SDA, set the volume to anormal
listening level.
After you make these adjustments, your SurroundBar SDA should
always be louder than your
TV speakers. Then use the TV remote
control to adjust the volume
as you normally do.
NOTE: You may need to adjust the GAIN LEVEL to "2" or
"3" to compensate for the low TV volume setting (see page
9for details!.

to blend with your SurroundBar
SDA speaker. This will ensure the
system produces the best
sound.

range. Now playa variety of source material-some music,
amovie sound track with great
special effects, amovie chapter
or apart of aconcert
in which people are speaking. Adjust
the volume until what you
hear sounds natural to you in your
normal viewing location.
Remember-The Surround Bar SDA can learn to respond to
almost
any button on almost any remote. Decide what remote
you want to use -television, satellite receiver, cable control
box, etc.-and program your SurroundBar SDA to respond
to the buttons you want to
use.
If you make amistake, or want to erase the remote control
programming of the Surround

HOW TO SET UP AREMOTE CONTROL
FOR YOUR SurroundBar SDA IHT
2 Press the button on the Surround Bar SDA that you want
to program to respond to your remote
control-in this case
the "MUTE" button. The status indicator should stop blinking
If your existing
TV or cable/satellite remote does not change
the volume of the SurroundBar SDA, then your SurroundBar SDA
is connected to a"constant level" (or "fixed") output. This means
you'll want to program your
Surround Bar SDA to respond to the
remote control codes of your existing remote or
any other remote
control
you want to use. Ideally, you will need only one remote
for your system.
Example: To have
your SurroundBar SOA learn
the "mute" command of your remote control:
1
Press and hold the "REMOTE" button until the status light
turns orange
and starts blinking.
DETAILS ABOUT SurroundBarSDA
2 The status light flashes red and orange for several seconds.
NOTE:
This procedure removes ALL of your SurroundBar SDA
remote control programming. If you only need to change the
programming for some of the SurroundBar
SDA buttons, follow
the three steps
in the left-hand column to redo any previous
programming.
Power-The power switches on the back of the Surround Bar
SDA and wireless subwoofer can be left on. The Surround Bar
SDA has an automatic power standby system. After about 15
minutes of inactivity, the amplifiers will shut down. As soon as
a signal is applied to the inputs of the SurroundBar SDA, the
amplifiers automatically turn
on again.
Channel 10 Switches-Both the Surround Bar SDA and wireless
subwoofer
have channel ID switches. The switch settings change
the frequency of the wireless
signal the SurroundBar SDA sends
to the wireless subwoofer. The
two switches must be set to
the same position.
Example:

( 81
You'll probably never need to adjust these switches. If you
put more
than one SurroundBar SDA IHT system in your home,
use different channel ID switch settings so the systems
don't interfere with
each other.
Gain Level Switch-This changes the input sensitivity of
your SurroundBar
SDA. If the output of your television is too
low,
you may need to increase the gain level to make the
SurroundBar
SDA play louder. If you hear distortion you
should decrease the
gain level to make it sound better.

Surround Bar SDA
from approximately 12" (30cm) away. Press and hold the mute
button
on your remote for afull second then release the button
for afull second. Repeat the
press and release sequence until
the status indicator starts blinking green.
TIP: Hold the remote steady and press/release the button
slowly
so your SurroundBar SDA can learn the remote signal.
If your Surround Bar SDA fails to learn the remote control signal
it will blink red. If this occurs, repeat steps 1 - 3. Be sure to keep
the remote steady and press the button slowly.

from your SurroundBar SDA IHT System. Maintaining adistance of several feet
or more between your SurroundBar SDA IHT speaker and any wireless device
should prevent any mutual interference effects. If you do notice any subwoofer
signal dropouts take care to identify the root cause (most commonly having
