It distinguishes between "enhanced format" (for 4K content, requiring high-quality HDMI Ethernet cables supporting 18Gbps) and "standard format" (for 1080p and lower resolutions, requiring high-speed HDMI Ethernet cables). It also supports 3D signals (side-by-side and frame packing formats).
Usage Features:
- Placement: Can be placed on a table in front of the TV or wall-mounted below the TV. Wall mounting requires careful installation by qualified personnel, ensuring the wall can support the load and avoiding electrical wiring/plumbing.
- Power Management: The unit enters Standby mode when first connected. It can be switched ON/OFF via the unit or remote control. It automatically switches on when a connected TV or external device is turned on and enters Standby after 15 minutes of no input signal. It also has a 15-minute power-off function (ERPII standard) if the external input signal level is too low.
- HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel): Simplifies connection to ARC-compliant TVs, allowing TV remote control to adjust soundbar volume (VOL +/- and MUTE). Requires HDMI-CEC and ARC to be enabled on the TV.
- Bluetooth Pairing: To pair a Bluetooth device, select Bluetooth mode on the soundbar, activate search mode on the device, select "HS512" from the list, and confirm pairing. The operational range is approximately 26 feet (8m).
- USB Playback: Insert a USB device (up to 32 GB) into the USB socket and select USB mode to play MP3 music files.
- Brightness Adjustment: The display brightness can be adjusted using the DIMMER +/- buttons on the remote.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: Clean the unit only with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid chemical solvents.
- Battery Replacement (Remote Control): Replace AAA batteries in the remote control, ensuring correct polarity. Remove batteries if the remote is not used for a long time to prevent leakage.
- Troubleshooting: The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues like no power, remote control not working, no sound, or Bluetooth pairing problems. It advises against self-repair to maintain warranty validity.
- Subwoofer Reset: If the subwoofer is idle or its indicator doesn't light up, unplug its power cord for 4 minutes and then plug it back in to reset it.
- Digital Audio Format Decoding: If the unit mutes, it might be unable to decode the digital audio format from the input source. Users should ensure the audio setting of the input source (e.g., TV, game console) is set to PCM or Dolby Digital.
