This connection is for HDMI TV without ARC (Audio Return Channel).
Notes:
●This sound bar supports HDMI which enables ARC (Audio Return Channel).
●To enable ARC make sure to use High Speed HDMI™ cable (with ARC).
● This ARC feature requires TV that supports ARC. Refer the operation manual of the TV to determine which terminal supports ARC.
●To listen to the sound from a non-ARC-compatible TV, connect the audio output from TV to this system’s. (refer page 9)
●This sound bar can be operated (power on/off or volume up/down) via a TV or similar component which supports HDMI CEC
(Consumer Electronics Control). If this does not work, it does not mean this system is faulty. Refer to the operation manual of
the respective component on how to activate the CEC.
Example: Go to the Menu of the component to search and enable the CEC. Different brands may have different naming for the
CEC. For SHARP LCD TV, it is named as AQUOS LINK.
●CEC is not available during Low power consumption mode.
●To listen to the sound from this system, you will need to press and hold the (MUTE) button (refer page 12) or adjust
the speaker output settings within the TV menu.
For details, refer to the operation manual of the TV.
●If you are unable to select external speaker setting from the TV menu (E.g. For SHARP LCD TV, it is named as AQUOS
AUDIO SP), turn the CEC OFF and ON again.
●To enjoy 3D images, this system must be connected to a 3D-compatible TV and components (3D BD player, etc.) via High Speed
HDMI cables. Put on the 3D glasses, otherwise 3D images may not be viewed properly.
●If you want to use HDMI IN 1 socket, please use the supplied HDMI cable.

bar to malfunction.
●Batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) shall not
be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or
the like.

●When pairing is successful:
Notes:
●If a device such as microwave oven, wireless LAN card,
Bluetooth device or any other device that uses the
same 2.4GHz frequency near the system, some sound
interruption may be heard due to interference.
●The transmission distance of the wireless signal
between the subwoofer and sound bar is about 10m,
but may vary depending on your operating
environment. If a steel-concrete or metallic wall is
between the subwoofer and the sound bar, the system
may not operate at all, because the wireless signal
cannot penetrate metal.

Many potential problems can be resolved by the owner without
calling a service technician.
If something is wrong with this product, check the following
before calling your authorised SHARP dealer or service centre.
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely
humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet or
on the transmitter on the remote control. Condensation can cause
the sound bar to malfunction. If this happens, leave the power on
until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any
condensation on the transmitter with a soft cloth before operating the
sound bar.
When this product is subject to strong external interference
(mechanical shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal supply
voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated incorrectly, it may
malfunction.
If such a problem occurs, do the following:
1. Set the sound bar to the stand-by mode and turn the power on
again.
2. If the sound bar is not restored in the previous operation, unplug
and plug in the sound bar again, and then turn the power on.
Make sure to disconnect all output and input cables attached to the
sound bar before performing the factory reset.
1. Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the power stand-by
mode.
2. Whilst pressing the SOUND MODE button, press and hold the
ON/STAND-BY button until “RESET” appears.
Caution:
This operation will erase all data stored in memory.
