the veneer plaster or whitewashed wall. The sound bar
may fall.) If unsure, consult a qualified service technician.
 Mounting screws are not supplied. Use appropriate ones.
 Check all wall mount angle screws for looseness.
 Select a good location. If not, accidents may occur or the
sound bar may get damaged.
 SHARP is not responsible for accidents resulting
from improper installation.

Place the system as shown.
Remove the protective film covering the sound bar and
subwoofer before turn on the system.
Notes:
The front panel of the sound bar is not removable.
The transmission distance of the wireless signal
between the subwoofer and sound bar is about 32
feet (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.
Caution:
Do not change the installation direction when the
sound bar is turned on.
Do not stand or sit on the sound bar and subwoofer as
you may be injured.
Do not allow any objects to fall into or to be placed in
the bass reflex duct.

IR (Infrared) transmitter connection
If the TV’s remote sensor is blocked by the sound bar, use the IR transmitter to relay the signal to the TV.
1. Connect the IR transmitter to IR out terminal to allow the TV’s remote signal to pass through.
2. Place the infrared emitter near TV’s remote sensor (refer the operation manual of the TV for the location of the
sensor ).
Point the TV’s remote control at the sound bar remote sensor and operate the TV.
You may need to move the IR transmitter until the TV operates correctly.
Then secure the IR transmitter onto the sound bar using the double sided tape provided.

Sound bar operation: Press INPUT button repeatedly until “HDMI 1”, “HDMI 2” or “TV ARC” appears on the display.
Remote control operation: Press the desired HDMI button to select.
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 this page)
 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.
 The system will automatically power off if TV or similar component which supports HDMI CEC, is turned off.
 CEC is not available during Low power consumption mode.
 To listen to the sound from this system, you will need to press the ( ) button (refer page 14) 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 jack, please use the supplied HDMI cable.

Notes:
Refer to the operation manual of the equipment to be connected.
Fully insert the plugs to avoid fuzzy pictures or noises.
Connecting via this method may disable TV internal speakers.
In 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.

Bluetooth one touch connection via NFC
About NFC technology
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a set of standards for
devices (smartphones/tablets) to establish radio communi -
cation with each other by touching/tapping them together or
bringing them into close proximity.
Using NFC in this product simplifies the pairing method of
Bluetooth connectivity.
This audio system supports NFC-enabled device
with Android 4.1, Jelly Bean and higher.
For device with a lower Android version, refer the
operation manual of the device for recommended
app (application).
Unlike other wireless technology, NFC requires no
discovery or pairing.
Simply tap the source device to the NFC detection area
on the subwoofer or NFC tag to instantly enjoy seamless
connectivity between your smart device and the audio
system.
NFC detection area
NFC detection area location may vary depending on the
device (smartphone / tablet). Refer operation manual of the
device for detail.

surface.
If you choose not to use the velcro tape, do not place
the NFC tag near metal surface to avoid connection
interference during tagging.
Important:
NFC tag provided has unique ID for each sound bar.
SHARP will not be held liable for the damages caused
by rewriting the tags.
Keep all small parts away from children as they may be

Listening to Bluetooth enabled devices
Bluetooth
Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range radio
technology that enables wireless communication between
various types of digital devices, such as mobile phone or
computer. It operates within a range of about 10 meters (30
feet) without the hassle of having to use cables to connect
these devices.
This unit supports the following:
Communication System: Bluetooth Specification version
2.1 Bluetooth + Enhanced Data Rate (EDR).
Support Profile : A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile)
and AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile)
Notes when using unit with a mobile phone
This unit cannot be used to talk over the telephone even
when there is a Bluetooth connection made to a mobile
phone.
Please refer to the operating manual supplied with the
mobile phone for details on operation of your mobile
phone while transmitting the sound using a Bluetooth
connection.
Pairing Bluetooth devices
Bluetooth devices need to be initially paired first before they
can exchange data. Once paired, it is not necessary to pair
them again unless:
Pairing is made with more than 8 devices. Pairing can
only be made one device at a time. This unit can be
paired to a maximum of 8 devices. If subsequent device
is paired, the oldest device paired, will be deleted and
replaced with the new one.
This unit is reset. All pairing information is deleted when
unit is reset.
Pairing information is deleted while re-pairing, etc.

the detected devices list (if available) in the source
device. (Refer the source device operating manual for
details).
Notes:
Place the devices to be paired within 3 feet (1 meter)
of each other when pairing.
Some source devices are unable to display lists of
detected devices. To pair this unit with the source
device, refer to the source device operating manual
for details.
5 Select “ HT-SB602 SHARP” from the source list. If
Passcode* is required, enter “0000”.
* Passcode may be called PIN Code, Passkey, PIN
number or Password.
6 “CONNECTED” appears on the display once the

interruption may be heard.
The transmission distance of the wireless signal
between the device and the sound bar is about 10
m (32 ‘), but may vary depending on your operating
environment. If a steel concrete or metallic wall is
between the device and the sound bar, the system may
not operate at all, because the wireless signal cannot
penetrate metal.
If this unit or the source device is turned off before

To pair with other devices, repeat steps 1 - 5 for each
device. This unit can be paired to a maximum of 8
devices. If subsequent device is paired, the oldest device
paired, will be deleted and replaced with the new one.
Once a device is ousted or deleted from the pairing list,
the pairing information for the device is also deleted. To
listen to the sound from the device again, it needs to be
re-paired. Perform steps 1 - 5 to pair the device again.
