What if my provided optical cable is too short?

We did our best to provide a cable of adequate length; however, there might be a few setup instances in which the cable may be too short. If that is your situation, your local electronics store will have cables that meet your required length.

My audio sounds strange and distorted.

Your N1 SurroundBar requires a clean, unaltered stereo signal for proper audio performance. If the sound from your

N1 SurroundBar is strange or distorted, then check the audio menus of whatever source(s) are connected to your SurroundBar and make sure any audio processing is turned off. Make sure you’ve selected the appropriate mode for your program material (Halo Warrior, Forza Racer, Cinema, Music).

Why can’t I successfully program the N1 SurroundBar to respond to my remote control?

There are many remote control formats, and we have done our best to make the N1 SurroundBar compatible with the most popular brands. However, there are likely some cases in which the bar

will not be able to learn your remote codes.

In this case, please use the remote control provided with the N1 SurroundBar product or try a different universal remote control.

Note: RF only remotes will not work with this system.

How do I control the N1 SurroundBar? There are three ways to control your

N1 SurroundBar:

Use the buttons on the front of the bar.

Use the provided remote control.

Program the N1 SurroundBar to respond to your existing remote (see included instructions).

My N1 SurroundBar was responding to com- mands, but now it isn’t. What should I do?

In this rare event, simply disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet, wait a few seconds, plug the cord in and then turn the power back on. This should restore control.

How do I erase previously learned remote control commands?

If you have programmed your SurroundBar 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). The N1 Surround- Bar will continue to respond to the provided credit card remote control.
