USING BLUETOOTH MODE BLUETOOTH PAIRINGYour Sound Bar supports music streaming from smartphones,tablets, and computers with Bluetooth capability. Device compatibility will vary, see your device’s documentation for more information.Once you have paired your source device to the Sound Bar, as longas you stay within range of the Sound Bar, your device should remain paired.If the input is changed, the Bluetooth device will disconnect. If the source is changed back to Bluethoth, any paired Bluetooth devicewill reconnect automatically. Note: Reconnecting time may differby different devices.A Bluetooth signal has a range of up to 30 feet. Keep in mind thatBluetooth is a compressed audio format, so streamed music maylose some integrity when compared to a wired connection.Try the following if your sound quality is less than optimal:If you hear any break-up or disconnect while streaming musicfrom your device, move the source device closer to the SoundBar.Other wireless devices can affect Bluetooth range, includingwireless security cameras, wireless video baby monitors, cordless phones, and microwave ovens. Turning off or movingthese devices may improve Bluetooth range.Maximizing SignalBe sure that there are no solid obstructions in the line-of-sightbetween the Sound Bar and the source device.To pair the Soundbar with a Bluetooth device: 1. Press the Bluetooth ( ) button on the remote control. The LED display on the soundbar will display “BT” blinking. The Soundbar Bluetooth pairing will be discoverable for 15 minutes.Note: Set your Bluetooth device into pairing mode prior to pairing with the Soundbar.You can now search for the Soundbar (SHOCKWAFE) using your Bluetooth device. For more information, refer to the user documentation that comes with the device.Press audio from your Bluetooth device. Volume can be controlled on your source device and Soundbar remote control.Note: If the soundbar detects the Bluetooth device previously connected, the Soundbar automatically connects to the Bluetooth device after Step 1To disconnect the Soundbar with a paired Bluetooth device: 1. Hold down the Bluetooth ( ) button on the remote control. The LED display on the soundbar will display “BT” blinking. The Soundbar is ready to pair with a new device.2.3.31
RE-LINKING THE SUBWOOFER WITH THE SOUNDBAR123Power and switch ON the soundbar. Turn off your TV speakers when programmingyour sound bar.The subwoofer has already been paired with the Sound Bar by NAKAMICHI.However, they may need to be re-linked if there is no sound coming from thesubwoofer.RIGHTEnsure that the Soundbar is switched OFF.

GLOSSARY This section explains the technical terms used in this user manual.What is DTS:X Object Based Audio?With traditional audio technologies, which channels (speakers) should output what types of sounds when creating audio sources was pre-defined. This is called "channel-based audio". In contrast, new audio systems such as DTS:X use a new technology called object-based audio. This technology processes each sound (e.g., the sound of a car or an actor's voice) contained in an audio source as an "object" and memorizes each object's sound changes and positional changes in a sound field to control these changes during playback. The greatest advantage of applying object-based audio to a home surround sound system is the power to control the audio output method based on device features and the number of speakers used for playback.AUDIO INFORMATIONDolby DigitalDolby Digital is a compressed digital audio format developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. that supports 5.1-channel audio. This technology is used for audio on most DVD discs.DTS: X Dialog ControlDTS: X Dialog Control allows you to boost the dialog. This can be useful in noisy environments to help make the dialog more intelligible. People with impaired hearing may also benefit. Note that the content creator may disable the use of this feature in the mix, so that DTS:X Dialog Control may not always be available.DTS Digital SurroundDTS Digital Surround is a compressed digital audio format developed by DTS, Inc. that supports 5.1-channel audio. This technology is used for audio on most DVD discs.DTS-HD High Resolution AudioDTS-HD High Resolution Audio is a compressed digital audio format developed by DTS, Inc. that supports 7.1-channel and 96 kHz/24-bit audio. DTS-HD High Resolu-tion Audio remains fully compatible with the existing multichannel audio systems that support DTS Digital Surround. This technology is used for audio on BD (Blu-ray discs).DTS-HD Master AudioDTS-HD Master Audio is an advanced lossless audio format developed to offer a high-definition home theater experience with the quality of the studio master by DTS, Inc. DTS-HD Master Audio can carry up to eight channels of 96 kHz/24-bit audio (up to six channels of 192 kHz/24-bit audio) simultaneously. This technology is used for audio on BD (Blu-ray discs).DTS:XDTS:X is the next generation object-based, multi-dimensional audio technology from DTS. Unbound from channels, DTS:X conveys the fluid movement of sound to create an incredibly rich, realistic and immersive soundscape - in front of, behind, beside and above the audience - more accurately than ever before. DTS:X offers the ability to automatically adapt the audio to the speaker layout that best fits the space, from a television's built-in speakers to a home surround theater system to a dozen or more speakers in a commercial cinema. Immerse yourself at www.dts.com/dtsxNeural:X Neural:X is the latest downmixing/upmixing and spatial remapping technology from DTS. It is built in to DTS:X to provide upmix of Neural:X-encoded and non-encoded (PCM) data. In DTS:X for Soundbars, Neural:X can produce up to 11.x channels.PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)PCM is a signal format under which an analog audio signal is digitized, recorded, and transmitted. This technology is the basis of all other audio format. This technology is used as a lossless audio format called Linear PCM for audio on a variety of media, including CDs and BD (Blu-ray discs).WMA (Windows Media Audio)One of the compressed digital audio formats developed by Microsoft Corporation. With psychoacoustic technologies, this compression method achieves a high compression rate. Reportedly, it is capable of compressing data quantity by about 1/20 maintaining a certain level of audio quality.MP3One of the compressed digital audio format used by MPEG. With psychoacoustic technologies, this compression method achieves a high compression rate. Reportedly, it is capable of compressing data quantity by about 1/10 maintaining a certain level of audio quality.Lip syncVideo output sometimes lags behind audio output due to the complexity of signal processing caused by an increase in video signal capacity. Lip sync is a technique for automatically correcting the timing lag between audio and video output.HDMI INFORMATIONHDMIHDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the world-wide standard interface for digital audio/video signal transmission. This interface transmits both digital audio and digital video signals using a single cable without any loss. HDMI complies with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) and provides a secure audio/video interface. For further information on HDMI, visit the HDMI website at "http://www.hd-mi.org/".40
GLOSSARY HDCPHDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a digital copy protection form that prevents copying of digital contents as it travels across connections (such as HDMI).HDMI CEC CONTROLHDMI CEC Control allows you to operate external devices via HDMI. If you connect a TV that supports HDMI CEC control to the Soundbar with an HDMI cable, you can control the Soundbar (such as power and volume) with TV remote control operations.
