No sound from the subwoofer.

See section “Subwoofer does not power on.” Turn up the subwoofer volume control using the remote control.

Is the bar status light blinking orange fast?

If so, the bar and subwoofer have failed to establish

a wireless connection. Turn off both the bar and subwoofer. Then turn them back on to re-establish communication. Ensure the channel ID switches on the bar

and subwoofer are set to the same number.

The sound coming from the bar is distorted.

Check the signal source to ensure the distortion is not coming from there.

The subwoofer’s output is intermittent, or sounds weak or is distorted.

Is the bar status indicator blinking orange? If so, the bar

and subwoofer have failed to establish a wireless connection. Turn off both the bar and subwoofer. Then turn them back on to re-establish communication.

Try changing settings of the channel ID switches on both the bar and the subwoofer.
