8. Q. Where should I put the subwoofer?
Answer: We encourage subwoofer experimentation! Your subwoofer and room interact
to create the bass that you hear and feel. In general, placing the subwoofer along the
wall, or in a corner, will reinforce the bass response and create a better listening
experience. The subwoofer is wireless, so try different places in the room until you are
satisfied with the bass that you experience.
9. Q. Should I mount the bar below, or above, my TV set?
Answer: The bar can be placed either above, or below, the TV set, but close to ear level
will sound best.
10. Q. Can the soundbar be mounted to TV brackets that feature pivoting arms?
Answer: Yes, but make sure that you leave enough clearance below the TV to mount the
soundbar! The combined weight of the TV, the bracket, and the SoloCinema XTR
soundbar MUST be less than the rated weight capacity of the TV mount being used.
You may or may not need to use the SoloCinema wall bracket, depending upon the
pivoting mount being used.
11. I can hear sound coming out of the bar, but don’t see anything on the television.
Answer: Getting multiple components to talk to each other can sometimes be
problematic. Some owners occasionally experience issues such as:
“I can see picture on the TV, but I can’t hear anything out of the bar.”
“I plugged in a source with HDMI and it just doesn’t work.”
“A component in my system is frozen and won’t let me control it.
HDMI is an elegant, high performance way to connect audio/video components. In rare
circumstances, such issues as the ones listed above can occur. When you encounter problems
like this, please try the following trouble-shooting steps:
a. Confirm that the Television and SoloCinema XTR are set to the correct inputs
and that the Volume is set to a reasonable level
b. Toggle inputs on the bar (select a different input and then switch back)
c. Confirm that all cables are plugged in completely
d. Unplug the HDMI cable from the source and plug it back in
e. Power cycle all components in the system
f. Unplug the wall socket from each component in the entire system (TV,
SoloCinema XTR, and all sources). Wait 3 minutes before restoring hard power.
Please Note: Software bugs are prevalent in today’s Audio/Video ecosystem. Manufacturers are
constantly writing new versions of code to solve these problems as soon as they become
