2 Turn on your other Rocketboost sender device
(sold separately) and make sure the audio
source connected to that device is active.
3 Press the Next Source button on the remote
control to select the Rocketboost input source.
If there are multiple Rocketboost sources, you
may need to press the Next Source button on
the soundbar to find the source you want to
listen to. Each press will cycle through the
available Rocketboost sources.
Sending audio from the soundbar to other
Rocketboost products
The selected soundbar audio signal, from either the
Television or AUX, is automatically sent on the
Rocketboost network.
The soundbar sends two separate audio signals on
the Rocketboost network:
- One of the audio signals is designed for use with a
subwoofer. This signal is low bass frequency
content only and this signal's volume level is set to
the same volume as the soundbar. That way your
soundbar and subwoofer are correctly set to the
same volume level and the subwoofer volume level
is easily controlled by the soundbar volume control.
- The second audio signal is designed for listening
to the soundbar audio in a second room or with
headphones that have their own volume control.
This signal's volume level is fixed and does not
change with the soundbar volume control. For
example, you would use this signal if you are
listening to the soundbar's audio signal in another
room, and that room's amplifier has its own volume
control.
Both audio signals are automatically sent on the
Rocketboost network. Every Rocketboost receiver
can receive both of these signals. Press the Next
Source button on your other Rocketboost product
until you hear the signal you want (for example the
low frequency signal for the subwoofer.)
To connect a subwoofer using Rocketboost:
1 Set the Subwoofer Mode Switch on the back of
the soundbar to the EXTERNAL position.
2 Connect a Rocketboost sender/receiver
(RF-RBAUX, sold separately) to your subwoofer.
Do this by connecting the output signal of
RF-RBAUX to the input signal of the subwoofer.
3 Follow the steps To establish communications
with other Rocketboost devices (see above) to
connect the RF-RBAUX to your Rocketboost
network.
4 Turn on your soundbar and subwoofer and play
music or a movie that you can easily hear the
bass sound on.
5 Press the Next Source button on the RF-RBAUX
to select the soundbar's subwoofer audio signal.
You may have to press Next Source multiple
times until you hear the soundbar's subwoofer
audio.
6 The soundbar sends both a subwoofer signal
(volume controlled by the soundbar) and a
second room audio signal (not volume
controlled by the soundbar). To confirm you are
connected to the subwoofer signal, use the
soundbar remote control to turn the volume up
and down, and listen to make sure that the
subwoofer volume level changes. If it does not,
press Next Source on the RF-RBAUX to select
the other audio signal from the soundbar. Also,
when the RF-RBAUX first connects to the
subwoofer signal, the Audyssey Dynamic
Volume Green Indicator LED will flash three
times.
Listening to the soundbar audio in another
room or through Rocketboost enabled
headphones
To listen to the soundbar audio in another room
or through Rocketboost enabled headphones:
1 Connect and setup your other Rocketboost
product (see user guide for that product for
more details).
2 Turn on your soundbar and play any audio.
3 Press the Next Source button on your other
Rocketboost device until you hear the
soundbar's audio signal. You may have to press
Next Source multiple times until you hear the
soundbar's audio. Also, when the RF-RBAUX first
connects to the soundbar’s audio signal, the
Audyssey Dynamic Volume Red Indicator LED
will flash three times.
Additional Rocketboost setup information
The soundbar is pre configured with both the
subwoofer and second room Rocketboost audio
signals turned on. For users that don't need these
signals sent on the Rocketboost network (for
example if you are not using the second room
audio signal from the soundbar) you can turn off
either of these signals.
To turn off the subwoofer signal:
1 On the soundbar, press both the Wireless Next
Source button and the Volume Up button for
five or more seconds.
2 The Audyssey Dynamic Volume Green indicator
LED will briefly flash on/off twice, to show that
the subwoofer signal is now off.
To turn on the subwoofer signal:
1 On the soundbar, press both the Wireless Next
Source button and the Volume Up button for
five or more seconds.
2 The Audyssey Dynamic Volume Green indicator
LED will briefly turn on to show that the
subwoofer signal is now on.
Note
You can wirelessly connect to a Rocketboost enabled
subwoofer or to a typical wired subwoofer. The
following instructions are for connecting to a typical
wired subwoofer. If you are using a Rocketboost
enabled subwoofer, refer the to the user guide for
that product.
Note
You will need to use the dual RCA adapter cable
supplied with the RF-RBAUX. When using this
connect either the left (white) or the right (red) audio
signal to your subwoofer.
