  If you're not getting any sound from your Polaroid Speaker System, here are a few things to try: * First, make sure the sound bar isn't muted by pressing the volume buttons on the remote. * Increase the volume using the Volume + button on the remote or the sound bar itself. * Select a different input source by pressing the button on the sound bar or one of the source buttons on the remote. * If connected to a TV, try setting the TV output to PCM or connecting directly to your Blu-ray player or another source. * Also ensure the audio output setting is set to FIXED or STANDARD, not VARIABLE. Check your TV’s user manual for details. * If using Bluetooth, confirm the volume on your device is up and it is not muted.

Why does my Polaroid PLA21SB001A turn off by itself?

  Sandra HunterAug 25, 2025
  Your Polaroid Speaker System might be turning off automatically because the external input signal level is too low. If the unit detects a low signal, it will turn off after 15 minutes. Increase the volume level of your external device to prevent this.
