Using Wi-Fi allows you to listen to your music in a higher sound quality since Bluetooth protocol compresses the audio signal, where Wi-Fi data easily stream HD Audio content. Take calls without interrupting your current audio music, where Bluetooth will interrupt the stream, because it is a one-way protocol. Control your music from anywhere in the house, where Bluetooth have a limited range. Play the same music across multiple speakers and when using the newest connect features, such as Spotify Connect or Chromecast built-in, then you don't have to worry about battery life, since the devices playing is doing all the data transmission compared to Bluetooth, where it is data between source and device.

This is considered as extra equipment

If you have a mesh network (more commonly seen in Eero Mesh networks), it is possible that you may experience your satellite speakers or subwoofer intermittently disconnecting from the soundbar. This is similar to normal interference that occurs with products on a similar wireless frequency. The special thing about Eero mesh networks is that they do not allow you to move a device to the 5Ghz or 2.4Ghz band. The system will automatically decide which devices should be on which band and will move them accordingly (switching whenever needed). Some of our soundbars run on a 5Ghz frequency which is where the interference can occur. Since we cannot change the signal in which they operate and we cannot change the band they are connected to via their Eero mesh network, there are a few things you can do to try and stop this from occurring. 

  

1. Move the mesh nodes far away from the soundbar 
2. Use the 2.4Ghz band instead of the 5Ghz band (if your mesh system allows this) 
3. Ensure to enable/utilize the MU-MIMO setting (not applicable to all mesh systems). Please refer to your router's website to see if MU-MIMO is being utilized by default. 

  

What is MU-MIMO? 

MU-MIMO stands for Multi-User, Multi-Input, Multi-Output. This allows for the router to send a signal to multiple devices at one time vs. the previous version in which the router would be able to connect to multiple devices, but only send the signal to one device at a time. 

  

NOTE: You may notice that when the soundbar is turned on, there may be a dip in the immediate internet speed, but it will go back to normal within less than a minute.

When placing speakers close to a wall, bass level increases. For more bass, place the speaker in a corner if possible, and for less bass, try to place the speaker farther away from any walls.

This speaker has an auto calibration feature, which measures the space around the speaker and adjusts the sound quality based on the room around it. Auto calibration will automatically work when you power on the speaker and begin playing music. For the best sound, we recommend placing the speaker at least 18 inches (0.5 meters) away from any walls.

The remote is only capable of operating one device at a time (unless you have programmed advanced functions such as Volume, Channel or Transport control Punch-Through). When you press the Source Selector to operate your other product, such as the DVD player, the remote cannot control any other product, including the AVR, until you press the AVR Button again. To avoid your problem in the future, always press the AVR Button or appropriate Source Selector before you enter any command.

There is a known issue that Spotify Connect and Amazon Music are not stable over a wired connection. If you primarily use these services, it is recommend to connect to the home network via Wi-Fi.

For OMNI BAR+, three sources are available: HDMI (not applicable for ADAPT+), Optical or AUX input. For Adapt+ two sources are available: Optical in/outputs and Analog in/outputs. If you select "Watching movies and TV shows" in the HK controller app for either one of them, you will have a very little delay and good lip sync with the TV for video applications. However, you will not be able to rebroadcast the TV signal to other OMNI+ speakers when selecting this mode. If you select "Listening to music", you will be able to rebroadcast TV signal to other OMNI+ speakers in your house, however, you will have lip sync delay with video material. Select that specific mode if you use HDMI (not applicable for ADAPT+), Optical or AUX for music only. Using Chromecast, Spotify Connect or Bluetooth is not part of these modes.
