BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING
My Sound bar won’t connect to my network
Make sure your mobile device is connected to your wireless network before setting up your soundbar.
Alternatively, you can connect your sound bar to your network router using an Ethernet cable (sold separately).
Once connected via Ethernet, the HEOS App should recognize the sound bar and you can manually move it to your wireless network using “Settings” “My
Devices” – “(Device Name)” – “Advanced” – “NETWORK SETTINGS”.
I don’t hear the TV sound coming from the soundbar
Check cable connection between the sound bar and your TV and other devices. Ensure cables are fully connected and connected to the right ports.
Ensure that TV Speakers are “Off” in your TV settings menu*
If you are using HDMI eARC/ARC as your connection between your sound bar and your TV, ensure that “ARC” setting is “On” in your TV settings**
* Note: “TV Speakers” settings may be labeled as Receiver, or External speakers depending on your make of TV.
** Note: Not all TV’s have these settings.
Verify that CEC functions are enabled in your TV’s Settings Menu.
Check that your sound bar is assigned to correct the input source. To find which input the sound bar is currently set to, open the HEOS App and navigate to
“Music” View > “Settings” > “My Devices” > “TV Input”.
To update the connection go to “Music” View > “Settings” > “My Devices” > “TV Input” > Select the Input type that currently connects your sound bar and your TV.
Music cuts out or delays sometimes
Make sure your Internet connection is operating correctly.
If you are sharing your network with other users or devices, they may be using most of your bandwidth (especially if they are streaming video).
Make sure your sound bar is within range of your wireless network.
Make sure your sound bar is not located near other electronic devices that could interfere with it’s wireless connectivity (like microwave ovens, cordless phones,
TVs, etc…). *
* Connect your sound bar to your network using an optional Ethernet cable if possible.
I hear distortion when using the AUX input
The analog output signals from some sources can be fairly strong. If the input level of the source device is turned up high, it could overload the inputs of the sound
bar. This is unlikely to cause damage, but can cause distorted sound.
Initially, set the volume of the source to a medium – low level, then turn it up as needed. If you hear distortion, turn down the device’s volume control.
Resetting your sound bar
Resetting your sound bar will clear out the wireless network settings, EQ, and name, but retain its current software.
You will have to use “Settings” – “Add Device” to reconnect the sound bar to your home network before it can be used.
To reset your sound bar, press and hold the CONNECT and Bluetooth buttons on the rear panel of the sound bar for 5 seconds until the front LED begins to
flash amber.
How can I tell if I am listening to Dolby Atmos or DTS:X audio?
1. While using an HDMI input, open the HEOS App.
2. From the Music tab, select the TV tile.
3. Tap the information icon on “Now Playing” screen.
4. Details about the incoming audio signal is displayed.
