Programming the Soundbar to Respond to Your TV Remote

Programming the Soundbar to Respond to Your TV Remote

You can program the soundbar so it will respond to your TV remote’s power off, mute, volume up, volume down and source commands. This programming lets you control your whole home theater system with a single remote. Before beginning to program the soundbar, have your TV remote in hand. We recommend sitting down in front of the soundbar.

NOTE: Some steps will time out, so read through this entire procedure before you begin.

Have the remote handy. When you start the remote programming after step 4, be ready to aim the TV remote at the front of the soundbar from about 300mm – 900mm (about 12 – 36 inches) away.

NOTE: If at any time the Surround and Source buttons both stop flashing, and the soundbar returns to the power-on state, the programming operation has failed. In this case, restart at step 2.

To program the power off, surround, volume down, volume up or source command:

1.Ensure that the soundbar is on.

2.Simultaneously press and hold the soundbar’s Power and Source buttons until the visible Surround button flashes blue (the Power and Source buttons also flash but are covered by your fingers). If the buttons do not flash after three seconds, release the buttons and try again.

Hold down both buttons until the

buttons indicators flash

3.You now have 20 seconds to momentarily press the soundbar button that you want to program (Power, Surround, Volume Down, Volume Up, Source), or the programming operation will fail and you must restart at step 2. When you are successful, the soundbar Power button light will turn off.

4.You now have 5 seconds to aim the TV remote at the front of the soundbar and slowly and repeatedly press and release the corresponding button on the remote until the Surround and Source buttons on the soundbar flash and then, after a few seconds, return to constant illumination. This indicates that the programming operation has been successful. Otherwise you must restart at step 2.

To program the Mute command: Repeat steps 1 and 2. At step 3, press and hold the soundbar’s Power button until the Surround and Source buttons switch to constant illumination. Then proceed to step 4.

To erase all remote programming: Ensure that the soundbar is on, then simultaneously press and hold the soundbar’s Surround Mode and Volume Up buttons until the lights in all the buttons flash.
