Notes:
z This sound bar supports HDMI which enables ARC (Audio
Return Channel).
z To enable ARC make sure to use High Speed HDMI⢠cable
(with ARC).
z This ARC feature requires TV that supports ARC. Refer the
operation manual of the TV to determine which terminal supports
ARC.
z To listen to the sound from a non-ARC-compatible TV, connect
the audio output from TV to this systemâs. (refer this page)
z This sound bar can be operated (power on/off or volume up/
down) via a TV or similar component which supports HDMI CEC
(Consumer Electronics Control). If this does not work, it does not
mean this system is faulty. Refer to the operation manual of the
respective component on how to activate the CEC.
Example: Go to the Menu of the component to search and
enable the CEC. Different brands may have different naming for
the CEC. For SHARP LCD TV, it is named as AQUOS LINK.
z The system will automatically power off if TV or similar
component which supports HDMI CEC, is turned off.
z CEC is not available during Low power consumption mode.
z To listen to the sound from this system, you will need to
menu (refer page 14) or adjust the speaker
select
output settings within the TV menu.
For details, refer to the operation manual of the TV.
z If you are unable to select external speaker setting from the
TV menu (E.g. For SHARP LCD TV, it is named as AQUOS
AUDIO SP), turn the CEC OFF and ON again.
z To enjoy 3D images or 4K content, this system must be connected
to a 3D-compatible TV and components (3D BD player, etc.) via
High Speed HDMI cables. Put on the 3D glasses, otherwise 3D
images or 4K content may not be viewed properly.
z If you want to use HDMI IN 1 jack, please use the supplied HDMI

 About NFC technology
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a set of standards for
devices (smartphones/tablets) to establish radio communi cation with each other by touching/tapping them together or
bringing them into close proximity.
Using NFC in this product simpliďŹes the pairing method of
Bluetooth connectivity.
z This audio system supports NFC-enabled device
with Android 4.1, Jelly Bean and higher.
z For device with a lower Android version, refer the
operation manual of the device for recommended
app (application).

Listening to Bluetooth enabled devices
 Bluetooth
Bluetooth 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 unit supports the following:
Communication System: Bluetooth SpeciďŹcation version
2.1 Bluetooth + Enhanced Data Rate (EDR).
Support ProďŹle : A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution ProďŹle)
and AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control ProďŹle)
Notes when using unit with a mobile phone
z This unit cannot be used to talk over the telephone even
when there is a Bluetooth connection made to a mobile
phone.
z 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 devices
Bluetooth devices need to be initially paired ďŹrst before they
can exchange data. Once paired, it is not necessary to pair
them again unless:
z Pairing is made with more than 20 devices. Pairing can
only be made one device at a time. This unit can be
paired to a maximum of 20 devices. If subsequent device
is paired, the oldest device paired, will be deleted and
replaced with the new one.
