IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE AMPLIFIER
PLATE. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. WE RECOMMEND TAKING THE
UNIT TO A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN FOR ANY REPAIRS.
This soundbar was especially developed for LED/LCD/Plasma televisions. It should not
be used in combination with CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) televisions to avoid image interference.
• Do not place on an unstable surface. The speaker may fall over, causing serious injury
to a child or adult and serious damage to the unit.
• Do not use near water; for example, near a bathtub, sink, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool.
• The soundbar should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other devices that produce heat.
• These speakers should be connected to a power supply outlet of the same voltage as
that which is specied on the unit. Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where it exits from
the unit.
• Clean only with a soft, damp cloth. Unplug this product from the wall outlet before
cleaning.
• Upon any servicing or repairs, request the service center/shop uses factory-authorized
replacement parts. Replacement with unauthorized parts may result in re, electrical
shock, or other hazards.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
SURFACE MOUNT
Be sure to mount the ONE BAR on a at and stable surface. For best sound do
not place the soundbar in any type of enclosed space. Do not mount on top of
stereo equipment as it may radiate excessive amounts of heat, which can cause
damage to the soundbar.

WALL MOUNT
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
To wall mount your ONE BAR, you will need a drill, drill bits, a phillips head screw
driver, and a pencil or pen.
The rst step is to determine the mounting location and mark it with a pencil or
pen (g A). Use the drill and an appropriate size bit drill your rst hole (g B). Make
sure that the hole is deep enough to accomodate the anchor. Push the anchor
into place (g C), ensuring that it is ush with the wall as shown in the inset. Place
the wall bracket against the wall and line it up with the anchor (g D). Insert a
screw to maintain the alignment and mark the location of the second hole using
a pencil or pen (g E). Repeat these steps for the second wall bracket. Before in-
stalling the second bracket, measure the distance between the bottom of the TV
and the base of the bracket. Mount the second bracket at this height to ensure
that aligned with the other bracket. We recommend mounting the brackets be-
tween 28 to 30 inches apart. Once both brackets are attached to the wall, place
the ONE BAR on top of the brackets (g F).

Many TVs, digital set-top boxes, game consoles, and DVD players have optical
(ber optic) outputs. To connect via Optical input, follow the steps listed below.
1. Use the included digital optical audio cable to connect the ONE BAR to the
sound source. If you are using a TV, go into your TV’s audio settings and
make sure to deactivate Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby ATMOS, etc. and select PCM
format.
2. Power on the sound source and the ONE BAR. Press the INPUT button on
the soundbar’s control panel or on the remote control. If it is properly con-
nected, the LCD display will show the letters “OP”.
3. Once connected, the unit will automatically turn on when you turn on your TV.
You will need to adjust the TV’s volume and the ONE BAR’s volume independently.
OPTICAL
The ONE BAR can be connected to your TV or receiver via an ARC-enabled
HDMI port. ARC stands for “Audio Return Channel” and has been available on
most TVs, receivers, and soundbars since the HDMI 1.4 standard was intro-
duced in 2009. The ARC protocol offers two-way communication between
devices over a single HDMI connection. Simply put, this means that you can use
the HDMI ARC port (if available) as an input and an audio output. Check your
specic device’s manual to see if it features an HDMI ARC port.
1. Connect a standard HDMI cable to your soundbar and connect the other end
to your TV’s HDMI ARC port. Most TVs feature ARC output over only one
HDMI (ARC)
OPERATION (continued)
1. Power on the ONE BAR and press the INPUT button on the ONE BAR or
on the remote control. The LCD display will read “bt” and the letters will ash steadily.
2. Turn on the Bluetooth feature on your device and ensure that it is in disco-
verable mode. Search for “ONE BAR” on your list of available devices and
select it.
3. Once paired, you will hear a tone and the letters “bt” on the LCD display will
stop ashing and remain on.
4. All playback functions (play/pause, volume, tracks) can be controlled from
your playback source (ex. phone/MP3 player) without ever having to touch
the unit. You can also control playback from the ONE BAR (volume) or the
remote control (volume, tracks, play/pause).
Please note:
• If you are using an iPhone, iPad, or iPod, the volume controls are synced so
that if you raise the volume on your device, it will raise the volume on the unit
and vice versa. If using an Android device, you will need to adjust the device’s
volume and the ONE BAR’s volume independently.
• The ONE BAR will remember and automatically connect to the last paired
device when the soundbar is powered on or the device is within range (32 ft).
• If a paired device is manually shut off or disconnected, the soundbar will
automatically reenter pairing mode.
• There is no automatic shutdown in pairing mode. The soundbar will remain in
pairing mode even if no device is paired, so switch it off if not in use.
