   • Not all TVs have the audio outputs shown. To connect the sound bar directly to your other devices (Blu-ray player, game system, etc.) see your device’s user manual.
   • Be sure the TV port is an audio output, not an audio input.
     Some TVs do not pass through digital audio. When using the digital input, if there is no audio, try:
   • setting the TV output to PCM, or
   • Connect directly to your Blu-ray or other source.
2. Connect the power cable to the sound bar AC IN as shown. Plug the power cable into an electrical outlet
3. Remove the battery cover by gently sliding it away from the remote
4. Insert the included batteries and gently slide the battery cover back into place.When needed, VIZIO recommends replacing the batteries that came with this remote with two, new Duracell ‘AAA’ alkaline batteries
5. After turning on both your TV and sound bar, it will automatically begin searching for an active input. The LED indicator on the front of the soundbar will begin cycling in different colors through inputs until an audio source is detected

Tip: Pressing the INPUT button will stop the auto-detect function. You can press the INPUT button to switch between audio sources. For example, if you connected your TV to HDMI, set the sound bar to HDMI.

• Occurs only during first-time setup.
• Auto-detect function only occurs once when the sound bar is first powered on. To enable this feature again, you must do a Factory Reset (see the Using Button Combinations section for more information) or press and hold the INPUT button for 4 seconds.

Using the Remote

Proper Placement

For the best surround sound experience, position the sound bar as shown. The sound bar should be close to ear level (approx. 2-3 ft. off the floor)

Mode & Level Settings

The LED indicators will behave differently with each function.

Using Button Combinations

There are other functions that are triggered by different button combinations on the sound bar

Programming the Sound Bar

You can program your sound bar to accept TV remote IR commands

• Point both the sound bar and TV remotes towards the front of the soundbar when programming.
• Turn off your TV speakers when programming your sound bar

Bluetooth Pairing

To pair the sound bar with a Bluetooth device

1. Press and hold the Bluetooth button on the sound bar or remote for five (5) seconds.
2. Search for the sound bar (VIZIO M213ad) using your Bluetooth device. For more information, refer to the user documentation that came with the device.
3. Now you can play audio from your Bluetooth device. Volume can be controlled on both your source device and the soundbar.

In Bluetooth pairing mode, the LED indicators on the display panel on the front of the soundbar will light up from left to right continuously. Once the device is paired, the LED indicators will stop flashing

Using Bluetooth Mode

1. Your sound bar supports music streaming from devices with Bluetooth capability. (Device compatibility will vary, see your device’s documentation for more information.)
2. Once you have paired your source device to the sound bar your device should remain paired. (within range)
3. If the source is changed back to Bluetooth, any paired Bluetooth device will reconnect automatically.
4. If the input is changed, the Bluetooth device will disconnect (will stay connected if Auto VA BT is on).

Maximizing Signal

A Bluetooth signal has a range of up to 30 feet. Keep in mind that Bluetooth is a compressed audio format, so streamed music may lose some integrity when compared to a wired connection. Try the following if your sound quality is less than optimal

•  If you hear any break-up or disconnect while streaming music from your device, move the source device closer to the soundbar.
• Be sure that there are no solid obstructions in the line of sight between the sound bar and the source device.
• Other wireless devices can affect Bluetooth range, including wireless security cameras, wireless video baby monitors, cordless phones, and microwave ovens. Turning off or moving these devices may improve Bluetooth range.
• Your sound bar is not equipped with a microphone, so it cannot operate as a hands-free device for a smartphone.
• Reduce the volume levels on your device and on the sound bar before pressing Play. High volume levels can damage your hearing

Connecting to a Voice Assistant

Your sound bar can connect to a Voice Assistant (VA) device through an AUX VA or Bluetooth connection. Once connected, your sound bar will now act as the VA speaker.

Features and Benefits

• Voice Assistant Dedicated Input: VA can be active on the sound bar even if the sound bar is set to a different input with audio playing.
• Auto Muting: If playing audio from the sound bar, the VA will play over the original source audio for 10 seconds. If continued after 10 seconds, the VA audio will mute the original source audio. Once the VA audio is stopped the original source audio will resume.

Make sure your sound bar is turned ON and the Eco Power setting is turned OFF. Refer to Eco Power mode on page 11 to disable.

Setup Tips:

• If the VA audio is too low, adjust the volume from the VA device.
• If the start of the response from the VA is cut off, enable “Start of Request” from your VA app settings.
• To disable the VA function, press and hold the INPUT button on the remote for 10 seconds to turn on or off. Refer to Auto VA on page 10 for more information

Using the AUX VA Port to Connect

UNLESS YOU HAVE BROUGHT AN ELIGIBLE CLAIM IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT OR HAVE OPTED OUT AS DESCRIBED BELOW, ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR VIZIO PRODUCT, INCLUDING ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WARRANTY, A BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY, OR THE VIZIO PRODUCT’S SALE, CONDITION OR PERFORMANCE, WILL BE SETTLED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION AND CONDUCTED BY A SINGLE ARBITRATOR APPOINTED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES AND ITS SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER-RELATED DISPUTES. You may learn more about the American Arbitration Association and its rules for arbitration by visiting www.adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879. Since this warranty concerns a transaction in interstate or international commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act will apply

The filing fees to begin and carry out arbitration will be shared between you and VIZIO, but in no event will your fees ever exceed the amount allowable by the American Arbitration Association, at which point VIZIO will cover all additional administrative fees and expenses. VIZIO waives its right to recover attorneys’ fees in connection with any arbitration under this warranty. If you are the prevailing party in an arbitration to which the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes applies, then you are entitled to recover attorneys’ fees as the arbitrator may determine.

The dispute will be governed by the laws of the state or territory in which you resided at the time of your purchase (if in the United States). The place of arbitration will be Irvine, California, or your county of residence (if in the United States). The arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, except as may be required by statute.  The arbitrator will not award consequential damages, and any award will be limited to monetary damages and will include no equitable relief, injunction, or direction to any party other than the direction to pay a monetary amount.

Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator will be binding and final, except for any right of appeal provided by the Federal Arbitration Act, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Except as may be required by law, neither you nor VIZIO nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration under this warranty without the prior written consent of you and VIZIO. ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION, IN COURT, OR OTHERWISE, WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. VIZIO AND YOU AGREE THAT NO PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED AS A CLASS ACTION, A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER PARTY ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY.
