How to use

Install the required batteries into the remote following the polarity markings in the battery compartment. Point the remote toward the sound bar and press the power button to wake the device. If pairing is required, follow the sound bar manufacturer’s pairing procedure: typically this involves pressing and holding specific buttons on the remote while the sound bar is in pairing mode.

Verify the specific 2018 sound bar model compatibility before purchase and consult the sound bar user manual for detailed pairing instructions if automatic control is not established after battery installation.
