How to reset the soundbar or home theater system

Reseting your soundbar or home theater system to its factory settings will return it to its original state with out-of-the-box volume, function, sound, and personal information settings. This can be helpful if you are experiencing issues with the connection between the soundbar, subwoofer, or TV, or if there are problems with sound output.

The factory reset procedure varies depending on the soundbar or home theater system you own.
