Do not disconnect the power or remove the USB device while updates are being applied. The main unit will turn off automatically after completing the firmware update.

After update is completed, the user setup in Soundbar is initialised. We recommend you write down your settings so that you can easily reset them after the update. Note that updating firmware resets the subwoofer connection too.

If the connection to the subwoofer is not re-established automatically after the update, refer to page 17. If the software update fails, check that the USB stick is not defective.

Mac OS users should use MS-DOS (FAT) as the USB format.

Depending on the manufacturer, some USB devices may not be supported.

The Soundbar is configured to run Auto Update by default.

To use the Auto Update function, the Soundbar must be connected to the Internet.

The Wi-Fi connection to the Soundbar will be terminated if its power cord is disconnected or the power is cut off. If the power is cut off, turn on the Soundbar and reconnect it.
