how to Optimize The Sound When TV Speakers Are On

You should hear sound from the bar. If you don’t, turn up the volume on the bar using its volume control buttons.

If your bar is connected to your TV, there’s a very good chance your TV speakers are also playing. It’s impossible to give specific instructions on how to turn off the speakers for every TV, but here’s a way to do it that covers many of the TVs out there.

1.On your TV remote control, find a “menu” or “setup” button.

2.Press this button. You should see an on-screen menu.

3.Next, look for an option to control audio functions and select it.

The setting to turn off your TV’s internal speakers should be here.

If you can’t turn off your TV internal speakers, don’t worry. Your SurroundBar 6500bt will make your TV sound much better. To enjoy the best performance from your bar, you’ll want it to play louder than your TV. Use the following steps to adjust the volume balance between your TV and the bar:

1.If necessary, program your bar to respond to the volume up and down control commands of your TV remote. (See “How to setup a remote control for your surroundbar” on page 10.)

2.Turn your TV volume all the way down using the control buttons on your TV.

3.Then, using the volume keys on your bar, set the volume to a normal listening level (do not use the remote control).

After you make these adjustments, your SurroundBar 6500 BT should always be louder than your TV speakers. Then use the TV remote control to adjust the volume as you normally do.

Fine Tuning Your Subwoofer Volume Level

The next thing you’ll want to do is adjust the subwoofer

to blend with your bar. This will ensure the system produces the best sound.

To set the subwoofer’s volume, play a variety of source materi- al—some music, a movie sound track with great special effects, a movie chapter or a part of a concert in which people are speaking. Adjust the volume until what you hear sounds natural to you in your normal viewing location.
