Using the speaker bar

To turn on the speaker bar:

• The speaker bar is always on. If you connected the

speaker bar by following the instructions in “Setting up

the optional speaker bar” on page 19, the speaker bar

receives power constantly from the monitor’s speaker

bar power connector.

Shortcut

You can also right-click on your Windows desktop, then click

Properties.

Important

If you connect the speaker bar to the monitor while the monitor is turned

on, the speaker bar will not initialize and will not work correctly. If this happens,

turn the monitor off, then back on to enable the speaker bar.
