Troubleshooting
No sound from the soundbar
Ensure the soundbar and subwoofer are powered on. Check that the correct audio input (HDMI ARC or Optical) is selected on the soundbar and your TV. Verify TV audio output settings are configured for external speakers and that cables are securely connected.
Subwoofer not connecting wirelessly
Ensure the subwoofer is powered on and within range of the soundbar (typically up to 10 meters). Try unplugging both the soundbar and subwoofer from power for 30 seconds, then plug them back in to re-initiate pairing.
Bluetooth connection issues
Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your source device. Put the soundbar into Bluetooth pairing mode (refer to manual if needed). If connection fails, turn off Bluetooth on your source device and the soundbar, then try again. Remove previous pairings from your source device.
Audio is distorted or unclear
Check the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) setting if available via EQ modes. Ensure the soundbar is not set to an excessively high volume. Try a different EQ mode (e.g., Voice for clearer dialogue). Check that audio source files are not corrupted.
No bass from the subwoofer
Verify the subwoofer is powered on and wirelessly connected. Check if the bass adjustment feature is available and ensure it's not turned down. Ensure the subwoofer is placed on a solid surface and not obstructed.
