- Next, select [Setup] and then [Advanced Settings] on the home menu.
- Then select [Speaker Settings] – [Wireless Speaker Settings] – [Start manual linking]. The [Start manual linking] screen will then appear on your TV screen.
- Then on the subwoofer press the LINK button, the power indicator light on the subwoofer that had LINK pressed will begin to flash green twice repeatedly.
