Chapter 4 – Connecting the Sound Bar

Bluetooth® Connection:

1

Time Pairing with a Bluetooth Audio Source Device

st

1. Set the Bluetooth audio source device (e.g. smart phone, tablet, etc.) to "discover"

the Sound Bar. Set your audio source device Volume to ~90% of max.

2. Turn on the Sound Bar, reduce the Sound Bar Volume setting to very low.

3. Press and hold the Bluetooth button on the Sound Bar remote control or

press and hold the Input button on the Sound Bar top panel until "Hitachi

Sound Bar" appears in your audio source device's Bluetooth device list.

4. The Sound Bar is automatically switched to the Bluetooth input and the Bluetooth

indicator on the Sound Bar fades on and off to show the Sound Bar is discoverable.

5. After a few seconds "Hitachi Sound Bar" will appear in your audio source device's

Bluetooth list. If "Hitachi Sound Bar" does not appear after 30 seconds, turn the

Sound Bar and your audio device off, then back on and try again from step 1 above.

6. When "Hitachi Sound Bar" appears in your device's Bluetooth device list, select it.

7. If your audio source device requests a passkey, check the source device's user guide

for details. Many devices use "0000" (four zeros).

The Sound bar indicates pairing is complete when the Bluetooth indicator stops fading

on and off and remains steadily on.

Now you can select and play music from your smart phone, tablet, music player or

other device library and it will be streamed to your Sound Bar wirelessly.

Notes about Bluetooth pairing:

• The Bluetooth audio source device will also indicate when pairing is complete.

• If no connection is successfully made after 60 seconds in "discoverable mode", the

Sound Bar exits discoverable mode and the Bluetooth indicator turns off.

• Exit discoverable mode by pressing the Bluetooth button on the remote or the Input

button on the Sound Bar.

• When exiting discoverable mode unsuccessfully, the Sound Bar will resume the prior

mode: if the Sound Bar was connected to a Bluetooth device, it will reconnect to that

device. If the Sound Bar was in disconnected mode, it will re-enter disconnected mode.

• The Sound Bar should be able to pair with up to six Bluetooth devices.

• Once paired, information about the connection is stored in the Sound Bar and the

source device should not need to be paired again.

• The Sound Bar can only connect to and play audio from one device at a time.
