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

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.

CONNECTIONS
● 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
meters, 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.
