If you don't, turn up the volume on the bar using its volume control buttons. If your bar is connected to your TV, there's a very good chance your TV speakers are also playing. It's impossible to give specific instructions on how to turn off the speakers for every TV, but here's a way to do it that covers many of the TVs out there. 1. On your TV remote control, find a "menu" or "setup" button. 2. Press this button. You should see an on-screen menu. 3. Next, look for an option to control audio functions and select it. The setting to turn off your TV's internal speakers should be here. If you can't turn off your TV internal speakers, don't worry. Your SurroundBar 2000 IHT will make your TV sound much better. To enjoy the best performance from your bar, you'll want it to play louder than your TV. Use the following steps to adjust the volume balance between your TV and the bar: 1. If necessary, program your bar to respond to the volume up and down control commands of your TV remote. (See "How To Setup A Remote Control For Your SurroundBar 2000 IHT" on pages 8-9.) 2. Turn your TV volume all the way down using the control buttons on your TV. 3. Then, using the volume keys on your bar, set the volume to a normal listening level (do not use the remote control). After you make these adjustments, your SurroundBar 2000 IHT should always be louder than your TV speakers. Then use the TV remote control to adjust the volume as you normally do. 8 Polk Customer Service 800-377-7655 (Outside USA & Canada: 410-358-3600) How To Set Up A Remote Control For Your SurroundBar IHT SmartBar™ Programming Note: For your SurroundBar to respond to your remote control, you MUST FIRST program the bar to respond to your television's original IR (Infra-Red) remote. An RF (Radio Frequency) remote will not work. Other remotes (cable, satellite) will work only after you have programmed the bar to respond to the TV's IR remote. Programming Instructions: Your SurroundBar IHT is currently programmed to respond to the remote control that is included with the product. However, we strongly recommend programming the SurroundBar to also respond to your existing remote control using the steps illustrated below. This will enable you to operate all of your components using a single remote control. While programming the SurroundBar, ignore anything that may be displayed on the TV screen. Example: To teach your bar the "Volume Up" command of your remote control: 1 The SurroundBar is turned on and the LED is solid green. And you have sound coming from the bar. 2 Press and hold "LEARN" for 2 seconds, or until LED blinks orange, then release the "LEARN" button.
