initial setting

To use:Not all televisions have the audio outputs shown above. To connect the soundbar directly to other devices (Blu-ray player, gaming system, etc.), refer to your device's user manual.

* If you're using one of the digital inputs and there's no sound: (A) try setting your TV's output to PCM, or (B) connect directly to your Blu-ray/other source, some TVs don't output digital audio. .

4. Connect the power cord to the AC IN subwoofer as shown. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. Place the power switch in the on position.

5. For the best surround sound experience, position the soundbar as shown. The soundbar should be at ear level. The subwoofer should be placed in a corner of the room.

6. Turn on your TV, the soundbar will automatically turn on and start looking for an active input.

The LED indicators on the front of the soundbar will start cycling through the paired inputs until an audio source is detected.* You can press the INPUT button to switch between audio sources. For example, if you have your TV connected to input 1, set your soundbar to input 1.

LED indicators

bluetooth pairing
To pair the soundbar with a Bluetooth device:
1. Press and hold the Bluetooth button on the soundbar or the Bluetooth button on the remote for five (5) seconds. When the soundbar is in Bluetooth pairing mode, the LED indicators on the display panel on the front of the soundbar will scroll from bottom to top and vice versa. Once the device is paired, the LED indicators will stop flashing.
2. Now you can search for the soundbar (VIZIO SB2821) with your Bluetooth device. For more information, see the user documentation that came with the device.
3. Play audio from your Bluetooth device. Volume can be controlled via your source and audio device
Bar.

Using Bluetooth Mode
Your soundbar supports music streaming from Bluetooth-enabled smartphones, tablets and computers. Device compatibility varies. For more information, see your device's documentation. Once you've paired your source device with the soundbar, your device should remain paired as long as it's within range of the soundbar, even if you change the input on the soundbar.

maximizing the signal
A Bluetooth signal has a range of up to 30 feet. Note that Bluetooth is a compressed audio format, so streaming music may lose integrity compared to a wired connection.
Try the following if your sound quality isn't the best:

• If you hear a dropout or dropped connection when streaming music from your device, move the source device closer to the soundbar.

• Make sure there are no solid obstacles in the line of sight between the soundbar and the source device.

• Other wireless devices may affect the Bluetooth range, including wireless security cameras, wireless video baby monitors, cordless phones, and microwave ovens. Turning off or moving these devices can improve Bluetooth range.

subwoofer reconnect

The subwoofer has already been paired with the VIZIO Sound Bar. However, it may be necessary to reconnect the subwoofer to the soundbar if there is no sound from the subwoofer.

<<>> What does pairing mean? Pairing means connecting wirelessly.

First, make sure the power switch is in the ON position. Press and hold the pairing button on the back of the subwoofer for 5 seconds. The LED on the back of the subwoofer starts to flash.

Press and hold the power button on top of the soundbar for 5 seconds. The LED indicators on the front will flash 3 times. The subwoofer is now connected to the soundbar.

Using keyboard shortcuts

There are 3 functions activated by 3 different key combinations on the soundbar.

Mount the soundbar on the wall

Insert the two wall mount screws into the respective holes and tighten them with a Phillips screwdriver.

Attach the supplied wall mount template to the wall below your TV. Mark the four holes on the bracket with a pencil.

Make sure your screws are secured to wooden studs, drywall anchors (for drywall) or concrete anchors
(for brick/concrete walls). Screws for securing brackets to the wall are not included. Choose screw type and screw length based on your home construction. If in doubt, consult a professional installer.
