Using an AC adapter other than the one supplied with the unit may damage the unit.

Caution:

•  Before use, ensure the rated voltage of the adapter matches your local voltage.

•  The  included  AC  adapter  is  for  use  with  this  unit  only.  Do  not  use  it  with  other

equipment.

•  If you are not going to use the unit for a long time, disconnect the AC adapter from

some power, even when the Sound Bar is turned off.

•  Point  the  remote  control  at  the

REMOTE SENSOR located on the unit 

(see Front Panel illustration for precise 

location).

•  When  there  is  a  strong  ambient  light

source, the perform ance of the infrared 

REMOTE SENSOR may be degraded, 

causing unreliable operation.

When the batteries become weak, the 

operating distance of the remote control 

is greatly reduced and you will need to 

replace them.

Notes:  

•  If  the  remote  control  is  not  going  to

be used for a long time, remove the 

batteries to avoid corrosion damage 

caused by battery leakage.

•  Do not mix old and new batteries. Do

not mix ALKALINE, standard (CARBON-

ZINC) or rechargeable (NICKEL-

CADMIUM) batteries.

•  Always  remove  batteries  as  soon  as

they become weak.

•  Weak  batteries  can  leak  and  severely

damage the remote control.

•  WARNING: Do not dispose of batteries

in a fire. batteries may explode or leak.

CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery

is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with 

the same or equivalent type.

mount  bracket “key-holes”  are  intended  for  use  with  #8  (Imperial)  or  M4  (Metric)

with head size: Diameter 7.5 - 9.4 mm. Additional or alternative parts may be needed

for certain types of wall constructions.

•  Make  sure  that  the  wall-mount  is  fixed  securely  enough  so  that  it  meets  safety

standards.

•  Allow at least 2” (5 cm) separation in all directions between the Sound Bar and other

AV equipment (such as your TV or Set-Top Box).

•  It is recommended that all cables (AC adapter and Audio cables) be connected to

the Sound Bar before placing it on the wall.
