Note: The AudioBar sound bar kit includes the SBA302EQ-BT amplier. This is a custom version of the SBA302-BT that
includes addional equalizaon applied specically for the AudioBar kit. If you have purchased the SBA302-BT separately,
the table below describes ALL of the EQ applied to the preset selecons.
IR REMOTE LEARNING
TheSBA302-BTampliercanbetaughttoworkwithanyIRRemoteControl!Forexample,insteadofusingtheincluded
IRRemote,youcanprogramtheampliertorespondtocommandsfromyourTVremoteoranyotherremoteyoumight
have.ThisisespeciallyusefulifyouareusinganopcalconneconratherthananHDMIARCconnecon.
Note: Only buons present on the control panel will work with a new remote. Buons such as presets and LED toggle
cannot be learned, and the original remote that comes with the amplier must be used.
STEPS
1) MakesurethatyourSBA302-BTamplieristurnedonandoutofstandbymode(theLEDshouldnotbered),andyour
desiredremotehasbaerypowerandisfunconingcorrectly.
2) L o n g  p r e s s  t h e  (inputswitching)buononyourcontrolpanelfor5seconds.Aer5seconds,theindicatorLED
onthefrontpanelwillstartblinking.
Note: If your input was previously set to Bluetooth, but you do not have a device paired to the amplier, your LED would
have already been blinking. If unsure, set your device to a dierent input mode (like aux, green LED) and repeat this step.
3) Pressanybuononthesoundbarscontrolpanelthatyouwouldliketolearn.TheindicatorLEDwillturno.

5) Youcannowtestyournewbuon.
6) Repeatsteps2–5tolearnnewbuons.
