CONNECTING THE SUBWOOFER AND SWA7000S TO THE MAIN UNIT

CONNECTING THE SUBWOOFER AND SWA-7000S AUTOMATICALLY

The linking IDs of the SWA-7000S wireless module and the subwoofer are preset at the factory. The subwoofer and the SWA-7000S should link (connect wirelessly) to the main unit automatically when you turn on the main unit, the subwoofer, and the SWA-7000s.

• When the subwoofer and SWA-7000S are completely connected, the blue LED Link indicators on the subwoofer and the SWA-7000S stop blinking.

CONNECTING SUBWOOFER AND SWA-7000S MANUALLY
If the blue LED lights do not stop blinking when the main unit, subwoofer, and SWA-7000S are turned on, please reset the linking ID by following the procedure below.

1. Plug the power cords of the main unit, subwoofer, and SWA-7000S into an AC wall outlet.
2. Press the ID SET button on the back of the subwoofer and the SWA-7000S with a small, pointed object for 5 seconds. The STANDBY indicator turns off and the LINK indicator (Blue LED) blinks quickly.
3. While the main unit is powered off (in STANDBY mode), press and hold the (Mute) on the remote control for 5 seconds.
4. The ID SET message appears on the Soundbar’s display.
5. To finalize the link, turn the main unit’s power on while the blue LEDs on the subwoofer and the SWA-7000S are blinking. The main unit, subwoofer, and SWA-7000S should now be linked (connected). The Link indicators (Blue LEDs) on the subwoofer and SWA-7000S should be glowing continuously. They should not be blinking.  If the Link Indicators are not solid blue, the linking process has failed. Turn off the main unit and start again from Step 2.

• Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.
• If the main unit is powered off, the wireless subwoofer will be in standby mode and the STANDBY LED on the upper side will come on after the Link indicator (Blue LED) blinks for 30 seconds.
• If you use a device that uses the same frequency (2.4GHz 5GHz) as the Soundbar near the Soundbar, interference may cause some sound interruption.
• The maximum transmission distance of the wireless signal between the main unit and the subwoofer and the main unit and the SWA-7000S is about 32.8 ft but may vary depending on your operating environment. If a steel-concrete or metallic wall is between the main unit and the wireless subwoofer or the main unit and the SWA-7000S, the system may not operate at all,  because the wireless signal cannot penetrate metal
• If the main unit doesn’t make a wireless connection, follow steps 1-5 on the previous page to re-set  the connection between the main unit, the wireless subwoofer, and the SWA-7000S
• A wireless receiving antenna is built into the wireless subwoofer and the SWA-7000S. Keep both units away from water and moisture.
• For optimal listening performance, make sure that the areas around the wireless subwoofer and SWA-7000S are clear of any obstructions.

CONNECTING THE SURROUND SPEAKERS

• Place these speakers to the side of your listening position. If there isn’t enough room, place these speakers so they face each other. Position them about 2 to 3 feet above your ear, facing slightly downward.
• Surround speakers must be connected to the wireless receiver module.
• Each speaker has a colored label on its back or underside. Each cable has a single colored band near its end. Match the band on each cable to the speaker label by color, and then connect the cable to the speaker.
