How to Connect your Bar

This is really easy too. You likely have many sources for your audio signal: your TV, your DVD player, or a cable/satellite box. The bar is able to accept audio from up to four different sources. The simplest approach is to connect the optical audio output of your TV to the optical input on the back of the bar. This method will provide the highest quality audio regardless of whether you are watching TV or watching your favorite DVD.

If your TV does not have an optical output, you can use the optical output from your DVD player or your cable/satellite box to con- nect to the optical input on the bar. Then simply use the other bar inputs for your other audio sources.

How to connect your subwoofer

Your subwoofer receives a wireless audio signal from the bar, so all you need to do is plug in the power cord and make sure the main power switch is ON.

Syncing the bar and wireless subwoofer

The SurroundBar 6500bt bar and wireless subwoofer come from the factory preset to work together. If the wireless subwoofer stops receiving an audio signal, follow these instructions to re-establish the connection.

1.Turn off the subwoofer’s AC Mains switch.

2.Press and hold the SYNC button on the back of the bar for three (3) seconds.

3.The LED on the back of the bar will blink, indicating that the bar and the subwoofer are ready to be connected.

4.Turn on the subwoofer’s AC Mains switch. When the subwoofer LED turns solid green, the bar and subwoofer are connected and ready to use.

Near field communication (NFC)

NFC gives you the ease and convenience of simply “touching” your Bluetooth/NFC compatible device to the bar to pair and connect. Regardless of what source you are in, or if the bar is in standby, NFC will initiate a Bluetooth connection.
