The Klipsch HD Theater SB 3 soundbar has four control buttons under the status indicator lights on its front panel. From the
top button down, they are SOURCE, MUTE, VOLUME UP, and VOLUME DOWN. MUTE, VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN can easily be
programmed to your TV, Satellite or Cable box remote control so that you can use that remote to control these functions.
NOTE: The SB 3 model comes with its own remote and controls not only the four control buttons but has a separate button for
the 3D Surround Mode On/Off feature. The four control buttons can be programmed into other remote controls using the built-in
Learning Remote feature, but the 3D Surround mode On/Off button cannot be learned by any other remote and must be controlled
with the included remote.
Programming The Klipsch HD Theater SB 3 To Your TV Remote
Easy, Three-Step Remote Programming
IMPORTANT NOTE: There is not a power on/off button on the front of the soundbar (there is a Main Power switch on the soundbar’s rear
panel). You do not need to turn off the soundbar (or subwoofer) when finished watching TV. When finished, turn off your TV (or Satellite or
Cable box if the soundbar is connected to that). The soundbar (and the subwoofer) will automatically go into a Standby or “sleep” mode
if they do not receive an audio signal from your TV, Satellite or Cable Box for approximately 10 minutes. Standby mode is indicated by a
solid red status light on the soundbar front and on the subwoofer rear panel. When your TV, Satellite or Cable box is turned back on and a
signal is again received, the soundbar (and subwoofer) will automatically come out of Standby mode and turn on.
STEP ONE (Place the unit in learning mode): With the status light showing solid GREEN,
press and hold the <SOURCE> and <MUTE> buttons on the front of the soundbar at the
same time (approximately 3 seconds) until the status light flashes RED and GREEN.
The following 3 steps should be used to program each function of your TV or cable box
remote control buttons (MUTE, VOLUME UP, and VOLUME DOWN). IF THE SOUNDBAR IS
IN STANDBY MODE (solid RED status light), push the <SOURCE> button on the sound-
bar until the status light is solid GREEN.
STEP TWO (Select the function to learn): Press the <MUTE> button once on the soundbar
(the status light changes to solid ORANGE). (Substitute the VOLUME UP, and VOLUME DOWN
in place of <MUTE> when programming the other buttons during this step)
STEP THREE (Learn the function): Hold your remote control within one foot (30m) of the
soundbar. Slowly press the <MUTE> button on your remote control four times. On the
first three presses, the status indicator light will flicker ORANGE with each press. If the
unit has successfully learned the function, on the fourth press of the button, the light
will flash GREEN several times and then turn to solid GREEN. (Remember to use the
VOLUME UP, and VOLUME DOWN in place of <MUTE> when programming the other
buttons during this step)
To program the remaining functions, simply repeat all steps, substituting <MUTE>
with the new function and button presses (VOLUME UP, and VOLUME DOWN) on steps
TWO and THREE.

Once you have placed the Klipsch HD Theater SB 3 soundbar
where you want it either below or above your TV, connect one
end of an optical digital cable (supplied) to your TV’s
optical digital audio output jack and connect the other end of
the cable into the optical input jack on the rear of the soundbar.
NOTE: THE SOURCE BUTTON ON THE SOUNDBAR SWITCHES
INPUTS BETWEEN OPTICAL, L/R RCA, AND 3.5 MM.
Next, plug the AC power cord into the soundbar power supply,
then connect the power supply into the DC Input on the rear of
the soundbar. Plug the AC power supply into a “live” electrical
outlet and turn the soundbar’s Main Power switch on the rear
of the soundbar to “On”. On the front of the soundbar, make
sure the left status light is either solid green or orange (press
any button once if light is steady red).
Last, after placing the Klipsch HD Theater SB 3 subwoofer
where you want it in the room, take the subwoofer AC power
cord and plug one end into the “AC Input” on the back of
the subwoofer and the other end into a nearby “live” power
outlet. Turn the subwoofer Main Power switch on the back of
the subwoofer to “On”. The red light will turn on until it finds
the wireless signal coming from the soundbar. Once it finds
that signal (approximately 15 seconds), the solid red light will
change to solid blue, indicating the subwoofer is now con-
nected to the soundbar. Your Klipsch HD Theater SB 3 system is
now ready to operate!
