E-17Notes: ●This product switches to Bluetooth function automatically when NFC tagging was done by your device. ●If your device does not support NFC, or if you wish to listen to audio via Bluetooth connectivity without NFC; refer “Pairing with other Bluetooth source devices” on the next page. ●Some Bluetooth devices will connect to this product automatically when the device or its Bluetooth mode was turned on. In such case, it will also change the function selection of this product. If you do not want it to connect automatically, please disable Bluetooth on your device. ●It takes about 6-8 seconds for a Bluetooth enabled device (eg. smartphone) to establish Bluetooth connection with this unit via NFC or manual connection. ●If “Empty tag” or similar message appears on your device, touch the device again to the NFC detection area on the main unit. ■NFC connection for audio playbackCheck that: ●Your device (smartphone/tablet) has an NFC function. ●NFC function on your device is enabled. ●Screen lock function of the device is off. ●This unit is not in low power consumption mode.1 Touch your device to the NFC detection area on the main unit.

E-18Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range radio technology that enables wireless communication between various types of digital devices, such as mobile phone or computer. It operates within a range of about 32 feet (10 meters) without the hassle of having to use cables to connect these devices.This sound bar supports the following:Communication System: Bluetooth Specification version 2.1 Bluetooth + Enhanced Data Rate (EDR).Support Profile : A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) and AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile)Notes when using unit with a mobile phone ●This unit cannot be used to talk over the telephone even when there is a Bluetooth connection made to a mobile phone. ●Please refer to the operating manual supplied with the mobile phone for details on operation of your mobile phone while transmitting the sound using a Bluetooth connection. ■Pairing Bluetooth devicesBluetooth devices need to be initially paired first before they can exchange data. Once paired, it is not necessary to pair them again unless: ●pairing is made with more than 99 devices.Pairing can only be made one device at a time. This sound bar can be paired to a maximum of 99 devices. If subsequent device is paired, the oldest device paired, will be deleted and replaced with the new one. ●pairing information is deleted while repairing, etc.Bluetooth indicatorsStatus PAIRING indicator (blue)Unconnected BlinksPairing mode Blinks quicklyConnected Lights upHowever, the indicator status is not displayed during low power consumption mode. ■Pairing with other Bluetooth source device1 Press the ON/STANDBY button to turn the power on.2 Press the INPUT button to select Bluetooth function. (PAIRING indicator blinks.)3 Press and hold the PAIRING button for 3 sec-onds or more.PAIRING indicator blinks quickly. The sound bar is now in pairing mode and is ready to be paired with other Bluetooth source device.4 Perform pairing procedure on the source device to detect this sound bar. “HT-SB31D SHARP” will appear in the detected devices list (if available) in the source device. (Refer the source device operating manual for details).Notes:● Place the devices to be paired within 3 feet (1 meter) of each other when pairing.● Some source devices are unable to display lists of detected devices. To pair this sound bar with the source device, refer to the source device operating manual for details.5 Select “HT-SB31D SHARP” from the source list. If Passcode* is required, enter “0000”.* Passcode may be called PIN Code, Passkey, PIN number or Password.6 Pairing indicator (blue) will stop blinking once the sound bar is successfully paired with the source device. (Pairing information is now memorized in the sound bar.)Some audio source devices may connect with the sound bar automatically after pairing is completed, otherwise follow the instructions in the source device operating manual to start connection.7 Press the play button on remote control or source device to start Bluetooth streaming playback.Listening to Bluetooth enabled devices
E-19Listening to Bluetooth enabled devices (continued)Notes: ●If a device such as microwave oven, wireless LAN card, Bluetooth device or any other device that uses the same 2.4 GHz frequency is placed near the system some sound interruption may be heard. ●The transmission distance of the wireless signal between the device and the sound bar is about 32 feet (10 meters), but may vary depending on your operating environment. If a steel concrete or metallic wall is between the device and the sound bar, the system may not operate at all, because the wireless signal cannot penetrate metal. ●If this sound bar or the source device is turned off before Bluetooth connection is completed, pairing will not be completed and the pairing information will not be memorized. Repeat step 1 onwards to start pairing again. ●To pair with other devices, repeat steps 1 - 5 for each device.This sound bar can be paired to a maximum of 99 devices. If subsequent device is paired, the oldest device paired, will be deleted and replaced with the new one. ●Once a device is ousted or deleted from the pairing list, the pairing information for the device is also deleted. To listen to the sound from the device again, it needs to be re-paired. Perform steps 1 - 5 to pair the device again. ●HT-SB31D supports Bluetooth profile AVRCP 1.4. If your device supports the same profile (refer to device manufacturer’s specification), HT-SB31D is able to control the volume of the device.Note:Some music applications do not support this feature, hence there will be no volume synchronisation between your device and the sound bar even if your Bluetooth device supports such profile. ■Listening to the soundCheck that: ●The source device Bluetooth functionality is ON. ●Pairing of this sound bar and the source device is completed. ●Sound bar is in connected mode (pairing indicator (BLUE) lights up.) ●Any device connected to the AUDIO IN or OPTICAL IN jack is turned off.1 Press the ON/STANDBY button to turn the power on.2 Press the INPUT button to select Bluetooth function.3 Start the Bluetooth connection from the Bluetooth stereo audio source device.4 Playback will start automatically, otherwise press play (on the remote control or the source device).Notes: ●For various Bluetooth operations, refer “NFC connection for audio playback” on page 17. ●If the source device has an extra bass function or equaliser function, set them to off. If these functions are on, sound may be distorted.Notes: ●Make the Bluetooth connection again if the source device is not turned on, or its Bluetooth functionality is off or is in sleep mode. ■To disconnect the Bluetooth devicePerform any of the followings.- Disconnect the Bluetooth connection on the audio source device. Refer the operating manual supplied with the device.- Turn off the Bluetooth stereo audio source device.- Turn off this sound bar.Note:The volume of this sound bar may not be controlled as intended depending on the device.

E-21Troubleshooting chart ■CondensationSudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet or on the transmitter on the remote control.Condensation can cause the sound bar to malfunc-tion. If this happens, leave the power on until normal operation is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on the transmitter with a soft cloth before operating the sound bar. ■Factory reset, clearing all settingMake sure to disconnect all audio input cables attached to the sound bar before performing the factory reset.1. Press ON/STANDBY button to enter the power standby mode.2. While pressing down the PAIRING button, press the ON/STANDBY button.3. Press the ON/STANDBY button again. (PAIRING indicator will turn BLUE.)Caution:This operation will erase all data stored in memory. ■If problem occurs during operationWhen this product is subject to strong external inter-ference (mechanical shock, excessive static electric-ity, abnormal supply voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated incorrectly, it may malfunction.If such a problem occurs, do the following:1 Set the sound bar to the standby mode and turn the power on again.2 If the sound bar is not restored in the previous operation, unplug and plug in the sound bar, and then turn the power on.Maintenance ■Cleaning the cabinetPeriodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth.Cautions: ●Do not use chemicals for cleaning (gasoline, paint thinner, etc.). It may damage the cabinet finish. ●Do not apply oil to the inside of each component. It may cause malfunctions.6SHFL¿FDWLRQVAs part of our policy of continuous improve-ment, SHARP reserves the right to make design and specification changes for product improvement without prior notice.
