Volume buttons power switch power switch If the system will not play loud enough or quiet enough, adjust the trim switch (see Soundbar Trim Switch, on page 10). For the best sound, we recommend turning your tV's built-in speakers off. consult your tV's owner's manual to find out how to do this. If there is no way to turn your tV's speakers off, you can adjust the tV's volume so that your sb 16/230 system will always supply most of the sound: 1. using the volume buttons on your tV, turn its volume all the way down. then use the soundbar's Volume up/down buttons to set the sound to a comfortable listening level. this way, your sb 16/230 system should always be louder than your tV's speakers. note: this may reduce the volume of your tV's output connection, so you may have to set the soundbar's trim switch to position 3 to compensate. see Soundbar Trim Switch, on page 10. standby position Turning the Soundbar On and Off Manually: to turn the soundbar on manually, momentarily press the soundbar's power button. power button Muting the System To put the soundbar into Standby manually, hold the Power button for at least three seconds. NOTE: If you put the soundbar into Standby manually, you can turn it back on only by manually pressing the Power button again. Auto turn-on: the soundbar has a signal detector that will automatically turn the unit on when it senses an audio signal at any of its inputs. to minimize power consumption, the signal detector is not activated unless the soundbar first senses any kind of Ir remote signal. this does not have to be a remote code that has been learned by the soundbar (see Programming the Soundbar to Respond to Your TV Remote, on page 11) ­ turning your tV on or changing its volume via its remote will be enough. once the soundbar's signal detector has been activated, the unit will automatically turn from standby to on as soon as it detects an input signal at any of its source input connections. Auto turn-off: the soundbar will automatically enter the standby mode if no audio signal is detected at any of its source input connections for approximately 15 minutes. If you have programmed the soundbar to respond to your tV remote's on and off commands, you can manually put the soundbar into the standby mode without having to hold its power button for three seconds.
