Wiring the Main Power Supply Plug (UK Only)
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is indicated on
the pin face of the plug and if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same rating must be used. Never use the
plug with the fuse cover removed. If the cover is detachable and a replacement is required,
it must be of the same colour as the fuse fitted in the plug. Replacement covers are available from your dealer. If the fitted plug
is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point, you should obtain a
suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance. However, if there is no alternative to cutting off
the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do not connect the plug to a mains socket as there is a risk of
shock hazard from the bared flexible cord. Never attempt to insert bare wires directly into a mains socket. A plug and fuse
must be used at all times.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:– BLUE = NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE As these
colours may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:– The wire
coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured
BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.
WARNING : DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH THE LETTER E
OR BY THE EARTH SYMBOL , OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN AND YELLOW.

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 a different
wall that can support the unit's weight.
●Purchase and use the fixing screws or anchors appropriate for the
kind of wall you have (plaster board, iron board, wood, etc.).
If possible, fix the support screws into wall studs.
●Purchase wall mounting screws according to the type and
thickness of the wall you will mount the Soundbar on.
-Diameter : M5
-Length: L 35 mm or longer recommended
●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.
1. Place the installation guide against the wall surface.
• The installation guide must be level.
• Install at least 5 cm below the TV, if the TV is mounted on the
wall.
2. Mark the location where the screws will go through on the wall
using a pen, and then remove the installation guide.
3. Fasten the wall mounts and screws to the marked locations.
• The left and right mounts are different shapes.
4. Secure the two holder screws to the screw holes on the back of
the Soundbar's main body, one on the left and one on the right.
5. Insert the USB cable into the back of the Soundbar before installing
it on the wall.
6. Set the holder screws on the back of the Soundbar into the
grooves of the wall mount. For safe installation, make sure to push
the holder screws all the way to the bottom of the grooves.

DETACHING THE WALL MOUNT
1. Pull the Soundbar upwards as shown in the figure to separate it
from the wall mount.
●Do not hang onto the installed unit and avoid striking or dropping the unit.
●Secure 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.
●When 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.
●For the optimal performance of a wall mount installation, install the speaker system at least 5 cm below the
TV, if the TV is mounted on the wall.
●For your safety, if you do not mount the unit on the wall, install it on a secure, flat surface where it is unlikely
to fall.

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 and subwoofer are 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.
3. While the main unit is powered off (in STANDBY
mode), press and hold the MUTE
( ) on the
remote control for 5 seconds.
4. The ID SET message appears on the Soundbar's
display.
5. To finalize the link, turn the main unit’s power on
while the subwoofer’s Blue LED blinks.
• The main unit and the subwoofer should now be
linked (connected).
• The Link indicator (Blue LED) on the subwoofer
should be on.
• If the Link indicator is not solid blue, the linking
process has failed. Turn off the main unit and
start again from Step 2.
• You can enjoy better sound from the wireless
subwoofer by selecting a Sound Effect.
(See page 10)
●Before moving or installing the product, be
sure to turn off the power and disconnect the
power cord.
●If the main unit is powered off, the wireless
subwoofer will be in standby mode and the
STANDBY LED on the upper side will come
on after the Link indicator (Blue LED) blinks
for 30 seconds.
●If you use a device that uses the same
frequency (2.4GHz) as the Soundbar near the
Soundbar, interference may cause some
sound interruption.
●The transmission distance of the wireless
signal between the main unit and subwoofer
is about 10 m, 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.
●If the main unit doesn't make a wireless
connection, follow steps 1-5 in the left hand
column to re-set the connection between the
main unit and wireless subwoofer.
●The wireless receiving antenna is built into the
wireless subwoofer. Keep the unit away from
water and moisture.
●For optimal listening performance, make sure
that the area around the wireless subwoofer
location is clear of any obstructions.

SoundConnect function.
2. Press the Bluetooth POWER button on the
Soundbar remote. "BLUETOOTH POWER ON"
appears on the Soundbar's display.

TV SoundConnect, and you turn the
Soundbar off by turning off the TV, the
Bluetooth POWER On function will not turn
the Soundbar on, even if you connect
another Bluetooth device to it.
