USING BLUETOOTH MODE
Your Sound Bar supports music streaming from
smartphones, tablets, and computers with Bluetooth
capability. Device compatibility will vary, see your
device’s documentation for more information.
Once you have paired your source device to the Sound
Bar, as long as you stay within range of the Sound Bar,
your device should remain paired, even if you change
the input on the Sound Bar.
Note: Your Sound Bar is not equipped with a microphone,
and therefore cannot operate as a hands-free device
for a smartphone.
Maximizing Signal
A Bluetooth signal has a range of up to 30 feet. Keep
in mind that Bluetooth is a compressed audio format,
so streamed music may lose some integrity when
compared to a wired connection.
Try the following if your sound quality is less than
optimal:
• If you hear any break-up or disconnect while
streaming music from your device, move the
source device closer to the Sound Bar.
• Be sure that there are no solid obstructions in
the line-of-sight between the Sound Bar and the
source device.
• Other wireless devices can affect Bluetooth
range, including wireless security cameras,
wireless video baby monitors, cordless phones,
and microwave ovens. Turning off or moving
these devices may improve Bluetooth range.
Your Sound Bar has aptX ® built-in,
allowing it to deliver the same audio
quality as a wired connection, wirelessly
over Bluetooth ® .*
Did you know?
* Source Bluetooth playback device must be enabled with aptX ® technology. Products without aptX ® technology will still playback over standard Bluetooth ® .
