■When placing on the shelf/table

Caution:

Turn off all other equipment before making any connections.

Notes:

●To connect to TV, use Audio IN terminals located at the rear of the sound bar.

●Refer the operation manual of the equipment to be connected.

■About Bluetooth technology

Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range radio technology that enables wireless communication between various types of digital devices, such as mobile phone or computer. It operates within a range of about 10 meters (30 feet) without the hassle of having to use cables to connect these devices. Since the Bluetooth technology does not require line of sight between the communicating devices, it is not necessary to line up the transmit- ting device and the receiver, as in the case of infra red technology.

Communication System and Bluetooth Profile of this sound bar

There are many available Bluetooth Profiles describing the basic communication methods, specific functions and uses, to enable communica- tion between devices.

This sound bar supports the following:

Communication System: Bluetooth Specification

version 2.1 Bluetooth + Enhanced Data Rate

(EDR) Profile : A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribu- tion Profile)

A2DP enables audio streaming from an A2DP equipped Bluetooth stereo audio source device (eg mobile phone) to this sound bar. By convert- ing wireless stereo audio signal to analogue audio signal, you can enjoy listening to the sound through this speaker system.

AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile) is a technology that allows a single remote control to control all Bluetooth enabled Audio Video equip- ment to which a user has access.

Notes when using unit with a mobile phone

●This unit cannot be used to talk over the tele- phone even when there is a Bluetooth con- nection made to a mobile phone.

●Please refer to the operating manual supplied with the mobile phone for details on operation of your mobile phone while transmitting the sound using a Bluetooth connection.

■Pairing Bluetooth devices

Bluetooth devices need to be initially paired first before they can exchange data. Once paired, it is not necessary to pair them again unless:

●pairing is made with more than 8 devices. Pairing can only be made one device at a time. This sound bar can be paired to a maximum of 8 devices. If subsequent device is paired, the oldest device paired, will be de- leted and replaced with the new one.

●this sound bar is reset. All pairing information is deleted when sound bar is reset.

●pairing information is deleted while repairing, etc.

■Pairing with other Bluetooth source device

1Press the ON/STAND-BY button to turn the power on.

2Press the INPUT button to select Bluetooth function. (PAIRING indicator blinks.)

3Press and hold the PAIRING button for 1 second or more.

PAIRING indicator blinks quickly. The sound bar is now in pairing mode and is ready to be paired with other Bluetooth source device.

Note:

Pairing indicator (blue) will stop blinking once the sound bar is successfully paired with the source device.

4Perform pairing procedure on the source device to detect this sound bar. (Refer the source device operating manual for details).

“SHARP HT-SB30” will appear in the detected devices list (if available) in the source device.

Notes:

●Place the devices to be paired within 1 me- ter (3 feet) of each other when pairing.

●Some source devices are unable to display lists of detected devices. To pair this sound bar with the source device, refer to the source device operating manual for details.

5Select “SHARP HT-SB30” from the source list. If Passcode* is required, enter “0000”. Pairing indicator (blue) on the sound bar will stop blinking once the sound bar is success- fully paired with the source device. Pairing information is now memorized in the sound bar.

*Passcode may be called PIN Code, Passkey, PIN number or Password.

6Start the Bluetooth connection from the source device.

Some audio source devices may connect with the sound bar automatically, otherwise follow the instructions in the source device operating manual to start connection.

Notes:

●If this sound bar or the source device is turned off before Bluetooth connection is completed, pairing will not be completed and the pairing information will not be memorized. Repeat step 1 onwards to start pairing again.

●To pair with other devices, repeat steps 1 - 5 for each device.

This sound bar can be paired to a maximum of 8 devices. If subsequent device is paired, the oldest device paired, will be deleted and replaced with the new one.

●Once a device is ousted or deleted from the pairing list, the pairing information for the device is also deleted. To listen to the sound from the device again, it needs to be re-paired. Perform steps 1 - 5 to pair the de- vice again.

●Passcode of this sound bar is fixed to “0000” and can only be paired with Bluetooth source device whose passcode is also “0000”.
