No sound output
Ensure the soundbar is powered on and the correct input source is selected. Check that volume is not muted or set too low. Verify all cable connections are secure at both ends. For Bluetooth, confirm the device is paired and connected.
Remote control not working
Check and replace the batteries (sold separately). Ensure there is a clear line of sight between the remote and the soundbar's IR sensor. Remove any obstructions.

Ensure the soundbar is in Bluetooth pairing mode. Turn off Bluetooth on your device and then turn it back on. Move your device closer to the soundbar. Disconnect other Bluetooth devices nearby. Restart both the soundbar and your audio device.
No sound via HDMI ARC
Verify that both your TV and the soundbar have HDMI ARC enabled in their respective settings. Ensure you are using the correct HDMI port labeled 'ARC' on your TV. Try a different HDMI cable.
