INSTALLING THE WALL MOUNT
You can use the wall mount bracket to mount this unit on a wall.
+ Installation Precautions
Ɣ Install on a vertical wall only.
Ɣ For the installation, avoid a location with high temperature or
humidity, or a wall that cannot sustain the weight of the set.
Ɣ 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.
Ɣ 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.
Ɣ Purchase wall mounting screws according to the type and
thickness of the wall you will mount the Soundbar on.
- Diameter : M5
- Length: 1 3/8 in (35 mm) or longer recommended.
Ɣ Connect cables from the unit to external devices before you
install it on the wall.
Ɣ 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 2 inches (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.
Ɣ Do not hang onto the installed unit and avoid striking or dropping the unit.
Ɣ 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.
Ɣ 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.
Ɣ For the optimal performance of a wall mount installation, install the speaker system at least 2 inches
(5 cm) below the TV, if the TV is mounted on the wall.
Ɣ 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)
Ɣ Before moving or installing the product,
be sure to turn off the power and
disconnect the power cord.
Ɣ 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.
Ɣ If you use a device that uses the same
frequency (2.4GHz) as the Soundbar near
the Soundbar, interference may cause
some sound interruption.
Ɣ The transmission distance of the wireless
signal between the main unit and
subwoofer 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.
Ɣ 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.
Ɣ The wireless receiving antenna is built into
the wireless subwoofer. Keep the unit
away from water and moisture.
Ɣ For optimal listening performance, make
sure that the area around the wireless
subwoofer location is clear of any
obstructions.

2. Wind the power cable of your subwoofer around
the ferrite core twice.
(Start winding 2 to 4
inches away from the core).
3. Close the ferrite core by pressing it until it clicks.

More About Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a technology that enables Bluetooth-compliant devices to interconnect easily with each other
using a short wireless connection.
Ɣ 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
Soundbar.
- 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.
Ɣ Pair the Soundbar with the Bluetooth device while they are close together.
Ɣ The further the distance between the Soundbar and Bluetooth device, the worse the quality is.
If the distance exceeds the Bluetooth operational range, the connection is lost.
Ɣ In poor reception areas, the Bluetooth connection may not work properly.
Ɣ The Bluetooth connection only works when it is close to the unit. 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.
Ɣ This wireless device may cause electric interference during its operation.
