WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY
To use your Bluetooth wireless technology device
with the SurroundBar 5000, you must first pair your
device with your SurroundBar.
Pairing creates the ability of your Bluetooth device to connect
with your SurroundBar wirelessly. Pairing is like a handshake
between your Bluetooth device and your SurroundBar 5000
in which they meet and exchange information.
You only have to pair your SurroundBar with your Bluetooth
device one time for this exchange of information to take place.
After that you simply select your device to make the connection
to your SurroundBar.
The SurroundBar can hold 6 to 8 other Bluetooth devices
in its memory.
If enough devices pair after yours, your device could
be dropped from the memory list.
Pair and connect your Bluetooth device
with the SurroundBar:
1. Make sure your Bluetooth device and SurroundBar 5000
are both powered on.
2. Engage the Bluetooth function on your Bluetooth source
device. See your device’s manual for instructions.
3. Press the Bluetooth source button from the SurroundBar
remote or press the SOURCE button on the SurroundBar
until the Bluetooth source is selected.
The Bluetooth symbol will illuminate, then begin slowly
pulsing as it looks for the paired device.
4. Your SurroundBar will now be displayed on your source
device as paired and available to connect. Select the
“SurroundBar 5000 IHT” on your device to initiate
the connection process.
5. After a short delay (5 seconds), the two devices should
now be connected. You should hear a short ascending
tone and the Bluetooth source symbol will now
be steady blue.
6. Play your music from your device!
Note: If your device asks for a passcode to pair to the
SurooundBar, enter “0000.”

2. Press and release the Bluetooth Source button, or
