No, connect your AURA to your home network (see QSG) once your AURA is connected and your device is on the same network. Simply open Spotify Premium, and a small speaker icon will be visible inside the app.

Due to Amazon Alexa's registration security, when you try to set up Amazon Alexa in the SmartThings app, it will automatically generate a "Enter code" pop-up on the "Register Your Device" screen. You can ignore this and just press "Continue" to proceed. You do not need to enter a code.

If you cannot stream music via AirPlay on your AirPlay compatible device, proceed with the following steps:

2. Go to device's page in SmartThings app.
3. Select "Third Party Services".
4. Select "AirPlay".
5. Select "Reset AirPlay".

 

Never remove a USB stick while the BDS is playing files from it. If the system freezes, switch the BDS unit OFF and then ON with the switch on the back panel to reset.

"In certain network conditions, your speaker may not be visible from your streaming app. You can still use voice control to start & control playback. If you wish to use your phone app to control playback, please power cycle your Citation speaker and your phone."

Try another HDMI cable, and make sure that it is a high-speed version. This solution usually solves the problem, which is caused by insufficient cable bandwith.

If your SmartThings compatible speaker is not found during the setup process, try the following steps:

1. Ensure that your phone/tablet with the SmartThings app is less than 10m/33ft from the speaker during initial set-up.
2. Make sure your speaker is plugged into power and the LED display lights up.
   1. If the LED display is not turning on, reset the product to its factory settings.
   2. Once reset, try setting the speaker up again.
3. Power cycle your speaker. Restarting your speaker will often help resolve the issue with products not showing up during the setup. 
4. Unplug the power cord.
5. Wait for about 10 seconds.
6. Reconnect the power cord and make sure that the speaker is powering up.
7. Temporarily relocate your product by moving the speaker closer to your router.
   1. If your speaker is able to connect in this new location, the original location may be too far from the router to maintain a stable connection.
8. Use a different mobile device.
9. If the error persists, try using a different device that has the SmartThings app installed and is connected to your speaker.

1. Press the Bluetooth button on your speaker. You should notice the button will begin flashing blue.

2. Go to the settings of your source device
3. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled
4. Make sure your speaker shows as connected.
   1. If your speaker does not show that it is connected, click on the speaker from the list of devices

The amber LED lights indicate that the microphone is muted and the Google Assistant will not react to any voice keywords until the microphone is unmuted.

It is true that some Bluetooth products have a very loud BT acknowledgment tones. We are sorry, but the level of such tones cannot be changed, and no software solutions will appear.

Be aware that the BDS X75 and X77 have two power modes. By pressing the power button briefly, the unit goes into sleep mode, and the fan keeps cooling the unit. Holding down the power button for a couple of seconds puts the BDS into standby, and the fan stops.

If there isn't any input for 10 minutes, the ESQUIRE 2 will go into sleepmode, and after 20 minutes more of no activity, it will power itself off.

Your model AVR is equipped with a cooling fan that only comes on when the unit's internal temperature rises above a predetermined limit. Thanks to the massive heat sinks used in the AVR series, this temperature is rarely reached. A typical situation where the fan will come on is when the AVR is operating at a very loud volume level with program material that has sounds in all seven channels. Since this is a rare occurrence, you may never notice the fan working. In any case, when the fan does come on, the volume will be loud enough that you might not notice it. Thus, you may own an AVR for many years and never hear the fan, or see it in operation. There is no way to test the fan, and none is needed.

Although the owner's manual states that owner can use this connector for home upgrade procedure, this is not so. The USB-connector used cannot be bought in commercially available cables, and the port must be considered for technician's use only.

Verify your TV supports the ARC feature.Make sure you enable the external speakers/ARC/digital audio output on your TV, this varies by TV manufacturer. Set the AVR1x1S to the TV input. Go into the AVR menu settings and under System Settings, make sure Audio Return Channel is set to Auto and set the TV Control to on.

If you experience a problem with setup using an Android 7.0 or higher device, please perform the following steps: First, force stop the HK Controller app from running in background. Second, go to your phone or tablet Wi-Fi settings, find the Omni speaker setup Wi-Fi network, and select “Forget Network”.Third, reopen the HK Controller app and begin the setup process again. After performing these steps, you will be able to complete the setup process for your speakers.

Move the sub closer to the SOUNDBAR for testing and see if the signal picks up. 1: Turn off any wireless routers or devices that run on 2.4ghz signals, such baby monitors, cordless phones, etc. and test to see if the subwoofer connects. 2: Test with a movie or music with a lot of action scenes or bass. If it's just dialogue, you may not hear the subwoofer.

Yes, by using the manual setup procedure it is possible to increase the signal volume level to the subwoofer, while reducing the level on the subwoofer itself. The reason it switches off is that the standby sensing circuit cannot sense music when the level is very low. By increasing the volume to the subwoofer and reducing its output on the sub itself, the signal sensing circuit has a better chance of recognizing an incoming signal, preventing the sub from switching off.
