Troubleshooting
No sound from the soundbar
Ensure the soundbar is powered on and the volume is not muted or set too low. Check that the correct input source is selected (e.g., HDMI-eARC, Bluetooth, Optical). Verify all cable connections are secure. Try restarting both the TV and the soundbar.
No bass or weak bass from the subwoofer
Confirm the subwoofer is powered on and within the wireless range of the soundbar. Check if the subwoofer is paired correctly with the soundbar. Ensure no obstructions are between the soundbar and subwoofer. Adjust bass levels via equalizer settings if available.
Bluetooth connection fails or is unstable
Make sure the soundbar is in Bluetooth pairing mode. Ensure your source device is within range and not connected to too many other Bluetooth devices. Turn off Bluetooth on your source device and then turn it back on. Forget the soundbar in your device's Bluetooth settings and try pairing again.
Audio and video are out of sync
If using HDMI-eARC or ARC, ensure both your TV and the soundbar are set to use this feature. Check for any audio delay settings on your TV or streaming apps. If using Bluetooth, try a wired connection for better synchronization.
Remote control is not working
Ensure the batteries (2 x AAA) are inserted correctly and have sufficient charge. Remove any obstructions between the remote and the soundbar's IR sensor. Try replacing the batteries.
