In some cases, a small background noise could emit from the sound bar, when you use the RCA audio output termi-
nal connection from a TV-Set/DVD/Blu-ray Disc Player. In such case, please change the connection to the HDMI/
ARC or headphone terminal connection. This effect depends on the used TV/DVD/Blu-ray Disc Player-Brand,
model and age, and it is not a quality matter from the sound bar.
