What is a Soft reset of the soundbar?
A soft reset is an act of restarting a device. It’s a good choice for infrequent users who only want to use the product occasionally. Because there is no need to pair your Bluetooth devices again, it has the benefit of not losing any settings and forcing you to repair your devices.
What is a Hard reset of the soundbar?
A hard reset, often known as restoring the device to its manufacturer-preset settings, is one way of returning devices to their original condition. This deletes any user information, settings, and Bluetooth-linked devices and restores the device to its original condition when it was new out of the box. As a result, a hard reset is sometimes known as a factory reset.
Test These Out Before Going For a Full Reset
1. Connect another device. For example, try using a smartphone instead if you’re having difficulties with your TV and soundbar. It will allow you to determine whether the problem lies with the soundbar or connected device.
2. If the problem is with a Bluetooth device, turn it off and on. This may be done quickly using any smartphone.
3. A soft reset is a restart without losing data or configuration. It’s quite simple, so don’t be scared of it. Follow the steps below to perform a soft reset:
- For 1 or 2 minutes, turn off your soundbar and remove the power cable from the wall outlet.
- Plug the power cable back into the wall outlet.
- Turn on your soundbar and adjust the volume.
If everything else fails, you’ll have to perform a Hard reset (also known as a factory reset).
