Setting Up the Systems
Unpacking
Remove all packaging.
Check for the presence of all parts and for transport damage. In case of damage or
incomplete delivery, please contact your dealer.
Please keep the packaging. The system can be stored in it, if not used for a longer
period of time.
Preparation
The Sound bar system serves as an audio output device and features wireless and wired
connections. You can place the sound bar on a horizontal surface or mount it on a wall.
When mounting it on a wall, pay attention to the following:
The supplied wall mount brackets, wall anchors and screws can be used to fix the
sound bar to a wall. The wall mount brackets are designed for vertical walls constructed
of solid concrete, bricks or wooden.
When installing on a cinder block wall, first verify that the blocks have a minimum of 1.2
inch (3cm) of actual concrete wall thickness to be used for the wall anchors.
If you are uncertain about the construction of your wall, please consult a qualified
contractor or installer for assistance.
Ensure that the wall anchors and screws you use are stronger enough to support the
weight of the sound bar and long enough to sufficiently grip the wall.
It is strongly recommended to use the supplied wall anchors and screws.
Additional tools (not included) are required for the installation.
Do not over tighten screws.
Use an electronic stud finder to check the wall type before drilling and mounting.
During mounting, keep away children and pets.
Make sure the sound bar is mounted in reach of a wall outlet.
Caution!
When placing the sound bar on an entertainment center, bookshelf, or any
type of enclosed space, be sure to allow at least 2 inches (5cm) of space
around the sound bar for ventilation. If the sound bar is enclosed in a tight
space, without ventilation, heat generated from the sound bar could
produce a potential heat hazard.
