Display remote control
To control the sound bar
HT-SB603 comes with a wireless display remote control
which uses Bluetooth to communicate instead of infra red
which requires direct line of sight. You can control the
sound bar from any direction or angle within 10 metres
(32 feet).
To control SHARP TV
This remote control still uses infra red to control SHARP
TV. Point the remote control at the TV remote sensor to
operate the TV.
NOTE:
zIn case the remote control is lost or needs repairing,
bring the entire system set to the service centre.
Connecting the remote control
The remote control and sound bar will link automatically
(wirelessly) as it is already pre-linked at the factory.
If the link cannot be established, please set the
connection by the following method.
1. Bring the remote control near to the sound bar and
select PAIRING from the remote control menu. (Refer
‘To select a menu on the remote control’ on page 12)
2. Set the sound bar to standby mode (Eco mode off).
3. Press and hold the INPUT button on the sound bar until
“CONNECTED!” appears on the display.
Note:
If the AC power lead of the sound bar is unplugged or
if a power failure happened, the remote control will be
disconnected. Press any key on the remote control to
reactivate the connection.
TV code selection
The default TV code for the remote control is TV CODE

Sound Bar
Place the system as shown.
Remove the protective film covering the subwoofer
before turn on the system.
Notes:
zThe front panel of the sound bar is not removable.
zThe maximum transmission distance of the wireless
signal between the subwoofer and sound bar is about
10 metres (32 feet), 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.
Caution:
zDo not change the installation direction when the
sound bar is turned on.
zDo not stand or sit on the sound bar and subwoofer as
you may be injured.
zDo not allow any objects to fall into or to be placed in

Notes:
z
This sound bar supports HDMI which enables ARC (Audio Return Channel).
z To enable ARC make sure to use High Speed HDMI™ cable (with ARC).
z This ARC feature requires TV that supports ARC. Refer the operation manual of the TV to determine which terminal supports ARC.
z To listen to the sound from a non-ARC-compatible TV, connect the audio output from TV to this system’s. (refer figure above)
z 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.
z The system will automatically power off if TV or similar component which supports HDMI CEC, is turned off.
z CEC is not available during Low power consumption mode (Eco mode on).
z To listen to the sound from this system, you will need to select menu (refer page 13) or adjust the speaker
output settings within the TV menu.
For details, refer to the operation manual of the TV.
z 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.
z To enjoy 3D images or 4K content, this system must be connected to a 3D or 4K-compatible TV and components (3D BD player,
etc.) via High Speed HDMI cables. Put on the 3D glasses (for 3D-compatibile TV and components), otherwise 3D images or 4K
content may not be viewed properly.
z If you want to use HDMI IN 1 socket, please use the supplied HDMI cable.

Notes:
zRefer to the operation manual of the equipment to be connected.
zFully insert the plugs to avoid fuzzy pictures or noises.
zConnecting via this method may disable TV internal speakers.
zIn some cases, a small background noise could emit from the sound bar, when you use the RCA audio output
terminal connection from a TV-Set/DVD/Blu-ray Disc Player. In such case, please change the connection to the
HDMI/ARC or headphone terminal connection. This effect depends on the used TV/DVD/Blu-ray Disc Player-
Brand, model and age, and it is not a quality matter from the sound bar.
