When operating wirelessly, the subwoofer may be susceptible to RF interference in the 2.4GHz bandwidth from microwave ovens and wireless devices such as Wi-Fi systems, video game consoles, cordless telephones, Bluetooth devices, and baby monitors. Generally, this issue (intermittent sound or slight popping noises) is easily resolved by physically separating problematic devices from one another-a distance as little as two feet will often alleviate the interference. In the case of microwave ovens, the interference will only occur when the microwave is operating. Using a Paradigm Subwoofer When configuring your subwoofer we recommend beginning with the following settings: Low-pass: Bypass Phase: 0° Volume: Knob set to vertical (12-o'clock to 1-o'clock position). Reference your subwoofer's manual to learn how to properly adjust the sub's level and phase controls. The subwoofer's crossover should be set to "bypass" or "LFE".

Plug the IR emitter into either of the soundbar's IR Out jacks and place the other end of the IR emitter over the IR sensor on anther piece of equipment. The use of an IR emitter allows the soundbar to pass IR signals from any remote control to a tethered device-allowing control of equipment in locations a remote would not normally reach.

Use the soundbar’s menu system and choose
‘Subwoofer > Wired Sub’.
Reference your subwoofer’s manual to learn how to
properly adjust the sub’s level and phase controls
to achieve proper blending with the soundbar. The
subwoofer’s crossover should be set to “bypass”,
“LFE”. For subwoofers that do not have a “bypass”
or “LFE” crossover setting, we recommend adjusting
the crossover to its highest setting.
Wireless Subwoofer Connection
Press the subwoofer’s sync button and hold for 3
seconds. The subwoofer’s LED will blink quickly.
Use the soundbar’s menu system and choose ‘SUB

WARNING!
When operating wirelessly, the subwoofer
may be susceptible to RF interference in the 2.4GHz
bandwidth from microwave ovens and wireless devices
such as Wi-Fi systems, video game consoles, cordless
telephones, Bluetooth devices, and baby monitors.
Generally, this issue (intermittent sound or slight pop-
ping noises) is easily resolved by physically separating
problematic devices from one another—a distance as
little as two feet will often alleviate the interference. In
the case of microwave ovens, the interference will only
occur when the microwave is operating.
