Programming the Soundbar to Respond
to Your TV Remote
You can program the soundbar so it will respond to your TV remote’s power off, mute,
volume up, volume down and source commands. This programming lets you control
your whole home theater system with a single remote. Before beginning to program
the soundbar, have your TV remote in hand. We recommend sitting down in front of the
soundbar.
NOTE: Some steps will time out, so read through this entire procedure before you begin.
Have the remote handy. When you start the remote programming after step 4, be ready
to aim the TV remote at the front of the soundbar from about 300mm – 900mm (about
12 – 36 inches) away.
NOTE: If at any time the Surround and Source buttons both stop flashing, and the
soundbar returns to the power-on state, the programming operation has failed. In this
case, restart at step 2.
To program the power off, surround, volume down, volume up or source command:
1. Ensure that the soundbar is on.
2. Simultaneously press and hold the soundbar’s Power and Source buttons until the
visible Surround button flashes blue (the Power and Source buttons also flash but are
covered by your fingers). If the buttons do not flash after three seconds, release the
buttons and try again.
3. You now have 20 seconds to momentarily press the soundbar button that you want
to program (Power, Surround, Volume Down, Volume Up, Source), or the programming
operation will fail and you must restart at step 2. When you are successful, the
soundbar Power button light will turn off.
4. You now have 5 seconds to aim the TV remote at the front of the soundbar and slowly
and repeatedly press and release the corresponding button on the remote until the
Surround and Source buttons on the soundbar flash and then, after a few seconds,
return to constant illumination. This indicates that the programming operation has
been successful. Otherwise you must restart at step 2.
To program the Mute command: Repeat steps 1 and 2. At step 3, press and hold
the soundbar’s Power button until the Surround and Source buttons switch to constant
illumination. Then proceed to step 4.
To erase all remote programming: Ensure that the soundbar is on, then simultaneously
press and hold the soundbar’s Surround Mode and Volume Up buttons until the lights in
all the buttons flash.
