INSTALLING THE WALL MOUNT
You can use the wall mount bracket to mount this unit on a wall.
Installation Precautions
• Install on a vertical wall only.
• For the installation, avoid a location with high temperature or humidity, or a wall that cannot sustain the
weight of the set.
• Check the strength of the wall. If the wall is not strong enough to support the unit, reinforce the wall or
install the unit on different wall that can support the unit's weight.
• Purchase and use the fixing screws or mollys appropriate for the kind of wall you have (plaster board, iron
board, wood, etc.). If possible, fix the support screws into wall studs.
• Connect cables from the unit to external devices before you install it on the wall.
• Make sure the unit is turned off and unplugged before you install it. Otherwise, it may cause an electric shock.
ƒDo not hang onto the installed unit and avoid any impact to the unit.
ƒSecure the unit firmly to the wall so that it does not fall off. If the unit falls off, it may cause an
injury or damage the product.
ƒWhen the unit is installed on a wall, please make sure that children do not pull any of the
connecting cables, as it may cause it to fall.
ƒFor the optimal performance of a wall mount installation, install the speaker system at least 2
inches (5 cm) below the TV.
ƒFor better sound experience, place the subwoofer away from the wall at least 30cm when
installing.
1. Place the wall mount bracket on a wall surface and then
secure it with two screws.
If you are hanging the unit below a TV, be
sure to install the
wall mount bracket so that the arrow ( ) is placed in the
center of the TV.
Also make sure the unit is at least two inches (5 cm)
below the TV.
2. Align the two HOLDER-SCREWs with the screw holes
on the left and right sides of the MAIN UNIT, and then fix
them to the main unit with the supplied screws.
3. Insert the USB converter into the unit before installing it
on the wall.
4. Fit the unit into the corresponding slots of the wall mount
bracket. For secure installation, make sure the mounting
studs slide firmly down into the bottom of the slots.
5. The installation is complete.

CONNECTING THE WIRELESS SUBWOOFER
The Subwoofer's linking ID is preset at the factory and the main unit and subwoofer should link (connect
wirelessly) automatically when the main unit is turned on. If the LINK indicator does not light when the main
unit and subwoofer are turned on, please set the ID by following the procedure below.
1. Plug the power cords of the main unit and subwoofer into an AC wall outlet.
2. Press the ID SET button on the back of the subwoofer with a small, pointed object for 5 seconds.
• The STANDBY indicator is turned off and the LINK indicator (Blue LED) blinks quickly.
IDSET
3. While the main unit is powered off ( STANDBY mode),
press MUTE on the remote control for 5 seconds.
4. The ID SET message appears on the main unit’s OLED display.
5. To finalize the link, turn the main unit’s power on while the
subwoofer’s LINK LED blinks.
• The main unit and the subwoofer are now linked (connected).
• The LINK indicator (blue LED) on the subwoofer is turned on.
• You can enjoy better sound from the wireless subwoofer by selecting the sound effect. (See page 20)
ƒBefore moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power
cord.
ƒIf the main unit is powered off, the wireless subwoofer will be in the standby mode and the
STANDBY LED on the upper side will come on after the LINK indicator (Blue LED) blinks for 30
seconds.
ƒIf you use a device that uses the same frequency (2.4GHz) near the system, interference may
cause some sound interruption.
ƒThe transmission distance of the wireless signal between the main unit and sub is about 33 ft.,
but may vary depending on your operating environment. If a steel-concrete or metallic wall is
between the main unit and the wireless subwoofer, the system may not operate at all, because
the wireless signal cannot penetrate metal.
ƒIf the main unit doesn't make a wireless connection, follow steps 1-5 above to retry the
connection between the main unit and wireless subwoofer.
ƒThe wireless receiving antenna is built into the wireless subwoofer. Keep the unit away from
water and moisture.
ƒFor optimal listening performance, make sure that the area around the wireless subwoofer
location is clear of any obstructions.

BLUETOOTH
You can use a Bluetooth device to enjoy music with high quality stereo sound, all without wires!
What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is a technology that enables Bluetooth-compliant devices to interconnect easily with each other using
a short wireless connection.
• A Bluetooth device may cause noise or malfunction, depending on usage, when:
- A part of your body is in contact with the receiving/transmitting system of the Bluetooth device or the Air
Track.
- It is subject to electrical variation from obstructions caused by a wall, corner, or office partition.
- It is exposed to electrical interference from same frequency-band devices including medical equipment,
microwave ovens, and wireless LANs.
• Pair the Air Track with the Bluetooth device while they are close together.
• The further the distance is between Air Track and Bluetooth device, the worse the quality is.
If the distance exceeds the Bluetooth operational range, the connection is lost.
• In poor reception-sensitivity areas, the Bluetooth connection may not work properly.
• The Bluetooth connection only works when it is close to the set. The connection will be automatically cut off if
the Bluetooth device is out of range. Even within range, the sound quality may be degraded by obstacles
such as walls or doors.
• This wireless device may cause electric interference during its operation.
