Important note:
There is not a power on/off button on the front of the soundbar
(there is a "Main Power" switch on the soundbar's rear panel). You Do not need to turn
off the soundbar (or subwoofer) when finished watching TV. When finished, turn off your
TV (or Satellite or Cable box if the soundbar is connected to that). The soundbar (and the
subwoofer) will automatically go into a Standby or "sleep" mode if they do not receive an
audio signal from your TV, Satellite or Cable Box for approximately 10 minutes. Standby
"On" mode is indicated by a solid red left status light on the soundbar front and on the
subwoofer rear panel. When your TV, Satellite or Cable box is turned back on and a signal
is again received the soundbar (and subwoofer) will automatically come out of Standby
mode and turn on.

Once your soundbar is connected and operating, you will want to complete a few basic steps
to get the most enjoyment out of your system. First, you will want to turn off the speakers
on your TV and let your soundbar be your new sound source. Some TV's will automatically
turn off their speakers when you connect the soundbar, while others you must manually
turn their speakers off. Refer to your TV's owner's manual for instructions to turn off the
TV speakers. If you cannot turn your TV speakers off, the soundbar will still give you an
excellent enhancement to the sound coming from your TV, and you can easily adjust your TV
sound to blend with the soundbar's sound. To make this adjustment, first program your TV
remote to operate the soundbar, then manually turn your TV volume down all the way down
from the controls on the TV itself. Next, press the VOLUME UP (+) control on the front of the
soundbar until you have a comfortable TV listening volume level coming from the soundbar.
Finally, to make sure the Klipsch HD Theater SB 3 subwoofer has a balanced sound with
the soundbar, set the subwoofer volume on the subwoofer rear to approximately the halfway
point, and then adjust up or down.

The Klipsch HD Theater SB 3 features a 3D Surround Mode which adds spaciousness to
the sound, simulating the effect of having multiple speakers surrounding you such as in a
movie theater. This feature requires no distinct speaker placement, special room require-
ments or specific program material to work properly. To turn on, simply push the "3D" but-
ton on the remote and the soundbar will show a white light indicating the feature is on. To
turn off, push the 3D button again and the white light will turn off, along with the feature.
This effect will work at multiple listening positions in your room. The four control buttons
can be programmed into other remote controls using the built-in Learning Remote feature,
but the 3D Surround mode On/Off button cannot be learned by any other remote and must
be controlled with the included remote.
