Your sound bar supports music streaming from smartphones, tablets, and computers with Bluetooth
capability. Device compatibility will vary, see your device’s documentation for more information. Once you
have paired your source device to the sound bar, as long as you stay within range of the sound bar, your
device should remain paired. If the input is changed, the Bluetooth device will disconnect. If the source is
changed back to Bluetooth, the last paired bluetooth device will reconnect automatically.
Maximizing Signal
A Bluetooth signal has a range of up to 30 feet. Keep in mind that Bluetooth is a compressed audio format, so
streamed music may lose some integrity when compared to a wired connection.
Try the following if your sound quality is less than optimal:
•If you hear any break-up or disconnect while streaming music from your device, move the source
device closer to the sound bar.
•Be sure that there are no solid obstructions in the line-of-sight between the sound bar and the
source device.
•Other wireless devices can aect Bluetooth range, including wireless security cameras, wireless video
baby monitors, cordless phones, and microwave ovens. Turning o or moving these devices may
improve Bluetooth range.
Your sound bar is not equipped with a microphone,
so it cannot operate as a hands-free device for a
smartphone.
Reduce the volume levels on your device and on the
sound bar before pressing Play. High volume levels
can damage your hearing.
