HOW to Optimize the Sound When TV Speakers are on

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 3000 IHT 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 3000 IHT” on this page.)

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

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

After you make these adjustments, your SurroundBar 3000 IHT 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 SURROUNDBAR 3000 IHT

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 material— 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.

HOW TO SET UP A REMOTE CONTROL

FOR YOUR SURROUNDBAR 3000 IHT

Important Note: If adjusting your TV’s volume also adjusts the volume of your bar, then following the instructions below is not necessary. Your remote will control the SurroundBar 3000 IHT without programming.

Programming Instructions: Your SurroundBar 3000 IHT is currently programmed to respond to the remote control that is included with the product. However, we strongly recommend that you program the SurroundBar 3000 IHT to also respond to your existing remote control using the steps illustrated below thereby enabling you to operate everything using a single remote.

Example: To have your bar learn the “Volume Up” command of your remote control:

LED

LEARN	SOURCE	MUTE

VOL

1.Press and hold “LEARN” on the bar until the LED blinks orange.

2.Press “Volume Up” ( ). LED stops blinking and remains steady orange.

3.While holding your TV’s remote within 1-2 feet of the bar, quickly tap the “Volume Up” () button approximately 4 times. With each tap the status LED should blink quickly (like a strobe). After the 4th button press

the status indicator LED should blink green for about 3 seconds.

Repeat steps 1-3 to program “Volume Down” (), Mute and Power buttons ( ).

Code Erasing Procedure: If you have programmed your SurroundBar 3000 to respond to a remote control and you no longer want it to do so, then you can erase the codes by pressing the LEARN key for about two seconds while the unit is in standby mode (power LED is red). You’ll know that previously learned codes have been successfully erased when the power LED blinks orange and red in succession. The SurroundBar 3000 will continue to respond to the provided credit card remote control.

NOTE: This procedure removes ALL of your bar’s remote control programming. If you only need to change the programming for some of the bar buttons, follow the three steps in the sequence previously described to redo any previous programming.
