Overview

1. Function Description
2. Usage Features
3. Maintenance Features

This document serves as a simple manual for an LG Wireless Sound Bar, model SH4D, providing essential information for its setup, operation, and basic maintenance.

Function Description

The LG Wireless Sound Bar is designed to enhance your audio experience, offering wireless connectivity for a clutter-free setup. It functions as an external speaker system for your television and other external devices, delivering improved sound quality for movies, music, and other media. The system includes a main sound bar unit and a wireless subwoofer, which work together to provide a more immersive audio experience with rich bass.

Usage Features

Front Panel Controls: The sound bar features discreet controls located on its rear for a clean aesthetic. These include:

• Power (Standby/On): To turn the device on or off.
• Function Select (F): To cycle through different input sources or modes.
• Volume Controls (-/+): To adjust the overall volume level.

Rear Panel Connections: The rear panel offers various ports for connecting the sound bar to other devices:

• DC IN: For connecting the AC adapter to power the unit.
• OPTICAL IN: For connecting to an optical audio output from a TV or other digital audio source, ensuring high-quality digital sound transmission.
• USB (Service only): This port is designated for software download and service purposes, not for general media playback.

Wireless Subwoofer Connection: The wireless subwoofer connects automatically to the sound bar, simplifying the setup process.

1. Automatic Connection: After connecting the power cords of both the sound bar and subwoofer to an outlet and turning on the main unit, they should automatically pair. A green LED on the subwoofer indicates a successful connection.
2. Manual Connection: If automatic pairing fails, you can manually connect the subwoofer by pressing the "Pairing" button on its rear. The green LED will blink quickly, and once the main unit is turned on, pairing will complete, and the LED will turn solid green. It's recommended to keep the sound bar and subwoofer at least 1 meter away from other wireless devices like routers or microwave ovens to prevent interference.

TV Connection: Connecting the sound bar to your TV is straightforward, primarily using an optical cable for optimal audio quality.

1. Cable Connection: Connect one end of an optical cable to the "OPTICAL OUT" port on your TV and the other end to the "OPTICAL IN" port on the sound bar.
2. TV Settings: Access your TV's settings menu and configure the audio output to "External Speaker (Optical)" to ensure sound is routed through the sound bar.

Additional Device Connection: The sound bar can also connect to other external devices such as set-top boxes or media players.

1. Connection Method: While the manual illustrates HDMI connections for external devices to the TV, the sound bar primarily uses the optical input for audio from the TV, which in turn receives audio from these external devices.
2. Input Source Selection: To switch between different connected devices (via the TV), repeatedly press the "F" button on the sound bar or its remote control to select the appropriate input source.

Remote Control Functions: The included remote control provides comprehensive control over the sound bar's features:

• ASC/STANDARD/CINEMA: These buttons allow you to select different sound effects, optimizing the audio for various content types.
• NIGHT ON/OFF: This feature reduces the volume at night, preventing disturbances.
• WOOFER LEVEL +/-: These buttons allow you to fine-tune the bass level of the wireless subwoofer to your preference.
• AUTO POWER ON/OFF: This function enables the sound bar to automatically turn on when an input source is detected, offering convenience and seamless integration with your other devices.

Maintenance Features

Battery Replacement for Remote Control: The remote control requires AAA (R03) batteries. To replace them:

1. Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote.
2. Remove the old batteries.
3. Insert new AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
4. Close the battery compartment cover.

Wireless Network Disconnection: To disconnect the wireless network connection or the wireless device (subwoofer):

• Set the "AUTO POWER ON/OFF" function to "OFF" and then turn off the main unit. This action effectively severs the wireless link.

Safety and Placement:

• Ventilation: Ensure that ventilation openings are not blocked to prevent overheating. The sound bar should not be placed on soft surfaces like beds or rugs, or in enclosed spaces like bookcases, unless proper ventilation is provided.
• Moisture and Heat: Avoid exposing the unit to water (dripping or splashing) or placing objects filled with liquids on it. Keep the device away from direct sunlight, fire, or excessive heat.
• Power Cord: The power plug is the disconnecting device and should remain readily accessible in case of an emergency.
• Cleaning: While not explicitly detailed, general electronic device cleaning practices apply: use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning and avoid harsh chemicals.

Disposal of Appliance and Batteries:

• Appliance Disposal (WEEE): The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol indicates that the product should be disposed of separately from municipal waste. It contains reusable parts and potentially hazardous substances, so proper disposal through designated collection points or retailers is crucial for environmental and human health.
• Battery Disposal: Batteries and accumulators should also be disposed of separately from municipal waste, via designated collection facilities. Some batteries may contain mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), or lead (Pb), indicated by chemical symbols alongside the crossed-out wheeled bin. Proper disposal prevents environmental contamination and health risks.

This manual emphasizes user safety, proper installation, and responsible disposal practices, ensuring a long and trouble-free experience with your LG Wireless Sound Bar.
