Muting the sound  
Initial Rocketboost setup  
Press the MUTE button on the remote control or on  
the soundbar to mute the sound. Press the Volume  
+ button or the MUTE button to restore sound.  
Remove the front speaker grill cover from the  
soundbar and insert a Rocketboost Wireless Card  
(RF-RBCARD, sold separately). To remove the grill  
cover, grip the glossy edges of the grill cover with  
each hand and pull forward evenly. The card  
connector is keyed so it can only be installed one  
way. When inserting the card, make sure that it is  
oriented so the Rocketboost logo on the card is  
facing you.  
Selecting Inputs  
To choose from the available inputs of the  
soundbar, press the INPUT button on the remote  
control or on the top of the soundbar.  
To select wireless audio sources on the Rocket  
Boost network use the Wireless Next Source  
button on the remote control or on the soundbar.  
Note  
Every Rocketboost network must contain a device  
called a Hub, which directs network data traffic and  
helps devices join the network. The network can  
have only one hub, which is selected using the Hub  
Status switch on the back of all Rocketboost senders.  
Note  
Only available when a Rocketboost card is installed.  
Adjusting Audyssey Dynamic Volume  
If you are setting up your network for the first time  
choose one of your Rocketboost senders to be your  
hub by setting the Hub Status switch to Enable.  
For example, if you want the soundbar to be the  
hub, set the Hub Status switch on the soundbar to  
Enable.  
Audyssey Dynamic Volume removes volume spikes,  
such as blaring commercials or movie explosions  
and turns up soft dialogue so it is easier to hear.  
Three levels of dynamic volume help you adjust to  
different listening situations.  
Audyssey Dynamic Volume Light—This should  
be used when you want to watch a movie with  
the family. It will only tame the very loudest  
explosions and boost only the very quietest  
dialogue.  
Audyssey Dynamic Volume Medium—We  
recommend this as the default choice. This level is  
good for typical television viewing. The volume of  
commercials and stations will sound the same.  
Audyssey Dynamic Volume Heavy—This has  
the greatest impact on the volume. This is most  
helpful when watching movies or television late  
at night, while others are sleeping. Explosions are  
dramatically reduced while the quiet moments  
are increased.  
If you already have a Rocketboost network  
established, set the Hub Status switch on the  
soundbar to Disable.  
The soundbar Power indicator lights green if the  
soundbar Hub Status switch is Enabled, and lights  
blue if the soundbar Hub Status switch is  
Disabled.  
Note  
Every new Rocketboost device you add to your  
Rocketboost network must be “joined” to your  
Rocketboost hub device.  
To establish communications with other  
Rocketboost devices:  
1 If possible, bring your existing Rocketboost Hub  
device, or the new Rocketboost device to which  
you’d like to join into the same room as the  
soundbar.

3 Press the Power button on your other  
Rocketboost device to turn it on.  
4 Press and hold the Power/Join button on the  
soundbar to initiate joining mode, then press  
and hold the Power/Join button on your other  
Rocketboost device (the devices will remain in  
joining mode for 30 seconds). The power  
indicator LEDs on both products will begin  
blinking rapidly.  
How can I use Rocketboost with the  
soundbar?  
After you install the Rocketboost Wireless Card  
(RF-RBCARD, sold separately) the soundbar can  
receive any Rocketboost audio stream from your  
other Rocketboost products. For example, you can  
play music from audio sources that are in other  
rooms.  
Plus, the Rocketboost Wireless card can be used to  
send audio from the soundbar. For example, you  
can connect your subwoofer, by using Rocketboost  
wireless instead of wires. You can learn more about  
• When successfully joined, the power indicator  
LEDs on both products will stop blinking and  
stay on.  
• If joining fails after 30 seconds, the power  
indicator LED on the soundbar will begin  
flashing at a slower rate. If this occurs, repeat  
the above steps.

• If there are multiple Rocketboost sources, you  
may need to press the Next Source button on  
the soundbar to find the source you want to  
listen to. Each press will cycle through the  
available Rocketboost sources.  
6 The soundbar sends both a subwoofer signal  
(volume controlled by the soundbar) and a  
second room audio signal (not volume  
controlled by the soundbar). To confirm you are  
connected to the subwoofer signal, use the  
soundbar remote control to turn the volume up  
and down, and listen to make sure that the  
subwoofer volume level changes. If it does not,  
press Next Source on the RF-RBAUX to select  
the other audio signal from the soundbar. Also,  
when the RF-RBAUX first connects to the  
subwoofer signal, the Audyssey Dynamic  
Volume Green Indicator LED will flash three  
times.  
Sending audio from the soundbar to other  
Rocketboost products  
The selected soundbar audio signal, from either the  
Television or AUX, is automatically sent on the  
Rocketboost network.  
The soundbar sends two separate audio signals on  
the Rocketboost network:  
- One of the audio signals is designed for use with a  
subwoofer. This signal is low bass frequency  
content only and this signal's volume level is set to  
the same volume as the soundbar. That way your  
soundbar and subwoofer are correctly set to the  
same volume level and the subwoofer volume level  
is easily controlled by the soundbar volume control.  
- The second audio signal is designed for listening  
to the soundbar audio in a second room or with  
headphones that have their own volume control.  
This signal's volume level is fixed and does not  
change with the soundbar volume control. For  
example, you would use this signal if you are  
listening to the soundbar's audio signal in another  
room, and that room's amplifier has its own volume  
control.  
Both audio signals are automatically sent on the  
Rocketboost network. Every Rocketboost receiver  
can receive both of these signals. Press the Next  
Source button on your other Rocketboost product  
until you hear the signal you want (for example the  
low frequency signal for the subwoofer.)  
Listening to the soundbar audio in another  
room or through Rocketboost enabled  
headphones  
To listen to the soundbar audio in another room  
or through Rocketboost enabled headphones:  
1 Connect and setup your other Rocketboost  
product (see user guide for that product for  
more details).  
2 Turn on your soundbar and play any audio.  
3 Press the Next Source button on your other  
Rocketboost device until you hear the  
soundbar's audio signal. You may have to press  
Next Source multiple times until you hear the  
soundbar's audio. Also, when the RF-RBAUX first  
connects to the soundbar’s audio signal, the  
Audyssey Dynamic Volume Red Indicator LED  
will flash three times.  
To connect a subwoofer using Rocketboost:  
Additional Rocketboost setup information  
Note  
The soundbar is pre configured with both the  
subwoofer and second room Rocketboost audio  
signals turned on. For users that don't need these  
signals sent on the Rocketboost network (for  
example if you are not using the second room  
audio signal from the soundbar) you can turn off  
either of these signals.  
You can wirelessly connect to a Rocketboost enabled  
subwoofer or to a typical wired subwoofer. The  
following instructions are for connecting to a typical  
wired subwoofer. If you are using a Rocketboost  
enabled subwoofer, refer the to the user guide for  
that product.  
1 Set the Subwoofer Mode Switch on the back of  
the soundbar to the EXTERNAL position.  
2 Connect a Rocketboost sender/receiver

Source button and the Volume Up button for  
five or more seconds.  
2 The Audyssey Dynamic Volume Green indicator  
LED will briefly flash on/off twice, to show that  
the subwoofer signal is now off.  
Note  
You will need to use the dual RCA adapter cable  
supplied with the RF-RBAUX. When using this  
connect either the left (white) or the right (red) audio  
signal to your subwoofer.  
To turn on the subwoofer signal:  
1 On the soundbar, press both the Wireless Next
