USING BLUETOOTH MODE BLUETOOTH PAIRING
Your 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 long
as 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 device
will reconnect automatically. Note: Reconnecting time may differ
by different devices.
A Bluetooth signal has a range of up to 30 feet. Keep in mind that
Bluetooth is a compressed audio format, so streamed music may
lose 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 music
from your device, move the source device closer to the Sound
Bar.
Other wireless devices can affect Bluetooth range, including
wireless security cameras, wireless video baby monitors,
cordless phones, and microwave ovens. Turning off or moving
these devices may improve Bluetooth range.
Maximizing Signal
Be sure that there are no solid obstructions in the line-of-sight
between 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 1
To 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.

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 INFORMATION
Dolby Digital
Dolby 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 Control
DTS: 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 Surround
DTS 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 Audio
DTS-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 Audio
DTS-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:X
DTS: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/dtsx
Neural: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.
MP3
One 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 sync
Video 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 INFORMATION
HDMI
HDMI (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/".

GLOSSARY
HDCP
HDCP (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 CONTROL
HDMI 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.
Operation available from the TV’s remote control:

What is aptX™?
Qualcomm® aptX™ audio technology enhances the wireless
sound quality of many of the world’s finest smartphones,
speakers, headphones and tablets. Previously, these devices
often had a reputation for providing average quality sound via
Bluetooth, but with aptX, Bluetooth-enabled products can
overcome that barrier and consistently deliver higher quality
audio wirelessly.
aptX is a key product differentiator in products—where the
ability to have a true audiophile experience is paramount.
