Bluetooth® Wireless Technology
To use your Bluetooth wireless technology device with the SurroundBar 6500bt, you must first pair your device with your SurroundBar.
Pairing creates the ability of your Bluetooth device to connect with your SurroundBar wirelessly. Pairing is like a handshake between your Bluetooth device and your SurroundBar 6500bt in which they meet and exchange information.
You only have to pair your SurroundBar with your Bluetooth device one time for this exchange of information to take place. After that you simply select the “polk soundbar” from your device list to make the connection to your SurroundBar.
The SurroundBar can hold 8 Bluetooth devices in its memory.
If enough devices pair after yours, your device could be dropped from the memory list.
Pair and connect your Bluetooth device with the SurroundBar:
1.Make sure your Bluetooth device and SurroundBar 6500bt are both powered on.
2.Activate the Bluetooth function on your Bluetooth source device. See your device’s manual for instructions.
3.Press the Bluetooth source button from the SurroundBar remote or press the SOURCE button on the SurroundBar until the Bluetooth source is selected.
