  If your Hisense Subwoofer isn't producing any sound, here are a few things you can try: * Ensure the soundbar isn't muted by pressing the MUTE or + (VOL) button. * Try switching the soundbar to standby mode and then back on. * Unplug both the soundbar and subwoofer from the mains socket, then plug them back in and switch the soundbar on. * If using a digital connection (HDMI, OPTICAL), ensure the audio setting of the input source (TV, game console, etc.) is set to PCM or Dolby Digital mode. * Move the subwoofer closer to the soundbar, ensuring it's within 5 meters. * If the soundbar has lost connection with the subwoofer, re-pair the units. * The soundbar may not be able to decode all digital audio formats from the input source.

  The Hisense Subwoofer has a 15-minute power-off function to save energy. If the external input signal level is too low, the soundbar will turn off automatically after 15 minutes. To prevent this, increase the volume level of your external device.
