GET READY FOR GREAT SOUND
A few easy steps, and you're ready to start enjoying your
SurroundBar
®
SDA
®
Instant Home Theater.
1
Connect the SurroundBar SDA power supply to the
SurroundBar SDA and plug the other end into an AC outlet.
2
Plug the subwoofer power cord into an AC outlet
and into the back of the wireless subwoofer.
3
Turn on the power switches on both the
SurroundBar SDA and the wireless subwoofer.
4
Turn on the other components in your system
and tune to a familiar channel.
You should hear sound from the SurroundBar SDA. If you don't,
turn up the volume on the SurroundBar SDA using its volume
control buttons.
If your SurroundBar SDA is connected to your TV, try adjusting
the volume using the TV remote control. If the volume level
of your SurroundBar SDA changes, it means it is connected
to a "variable" output. The mute control on your remote control
should also work. In this case you do not have to program your
SurroundBar SDA to respond to your remote control. If the
volume level does not change, refer to page 9 "HOW TO
SET UP A REMOTE CONTROL FOR YOUR SurroundBar SDA."
If your SurroundBar SDA is connected to your TV, there's a very
good chance your TV speakers are also playing. It's impossible
to give specific instructions on how to turn off the speakers for
every TV, but here's a way to do it that covers many of the TVs
out there.
1
On your TV remote control, find a "menu" or "setup" button.
2
Press this button. You should see an on-screen menu.
3
Next, look for an option to control audio functions
and select it.
The setting to turn off your TV's internal speakers should be here.

HOW TO OPTIMIZE THE SOUND WHEN
TV SPEAKERS ARE ON
If you can't turn off your TV internal speakers, don't worry.
Your SurroundBar SDA will make your TV sound much better.
To enjoy the best performance from your SurroundBar SDA,
you'll want it to play louder than your TV. Use the following
steps to adjust the volume balance between your TV and
the SurroundBar SDA:
1
If necessary program your SurroundBar SDA to respond
to the volume up and down control commands of your TV
remote. (See "HOW TO SETUP A REMOTE CONTROL
FOR YOUR SurroundBar SDA." on page 9.)
2
Turn your TV volume all the way down using the control
buttons on your TV.
3
Then, using the volume control buttons on your
SurroundBar SDA, set the volume to a normal
listening level.
After you make these adjustments, your SurroundBar SDA should
always be louder than your TV speakers. Then use the TV remote
control to adjust the volume as you normally do.
NOTE: You may need to adjust the GAIN LEVEL to "2" or
"3" to compensate for the low TV volume setting (see page
9 for details).
