3. Connect the power cable to the Sound Stand. Plug the power cable into a power outlet.

   

4. Center your TV on top of the Sound Stand.
   Be sure that your TV's base fits completely on top of the Sound Stand and does not hang off the edges.
   If your TV has seperate stands like the one shown above, be sure the TV does not come into contact with the top of the Sound Stand.
   Note: Do not place any items other than the TV on the Sound Stand.

USING BLUETOOTH MODE

Your Sound Stand supports music streaming from smartphones, tablets, and computers with Bluetooth capability. Device compatibility will vary, see your device’s documentation for more information. Once you have paired your source device to the Sound Stand, as long as you stay within range of the Sound Stand, your device should remain paired, even if you change the input on the Sound Stand.

TIP: Your Sound Stand is not equipped with a microphone, so it cannot operate as a hands-free device for a smartphone.

Maximizing Signal
A Bluetooth signal has a range of up to 30 feet. Keep in mind that Bluetooth is a compressed audio format, so streamed music may lose some integrity when compared to a wired connection.

Try the following if your sound quality is less than optimal:

• If you hear any break-up or disconnect while streaming music from your device, move the source device closer to the Sound Stand.
• Be sure that there are no solid obstructions in the line of sight between the Sound Stand and the source device.
• Other wireless devices can affect Bluetooth range, including wireless security cameras, wireless video baby monitors, cordless phones, and microwave ovens. Turning off or moving these devices may improve Bluetooth range.

WARNING

Reduce the volume levels on your device and on the Sound Stand before pressing Play. High volume levels can damage your hearing.

ADVANCED SETUP

Connect up to five (5) different devices to the Sound Stand (devices shown are examples you can use any device).
To listen to a device, change the input source on the Sound Stand.
Optical, Coaxial, and 3.5mm cables transmit audio only. If connecting a video device, you will need a separate video connection from the device to your TV.

USING BUTTON COMBINATIONS

There are 3 functions that are triggered by 3 different button combinations on the Sound Stand.
