Troubleshooting

No sound from the soundbar or subwoofer.

Check the power connections to all components. Ensure the soundbar is connected to the TV via HDMI ARC or optical cable, and that the TV's audio output is set correctly. Check the volume levels on the soundbar and the TV.

Rear speakers are not producing sound.

Ensure the rear speakers are powered on and correctly paired with the soundbar. Check the speaker settings in the soundbar menu to ensure they are enabled. Check for any obstructions that might be interfering with the wireless signal.

Bluetooth connection issues.

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your source device and that it is within range of the soundbar. Check if the soundbar is in pairing mode. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the Bluetooth connection. Reset the soundbar.

Subwoofer sound is weak or absent.
