- Tip 2. don't block the soundbar and subwoofer

Tip 1. move appliances
Some appliances affect the wireless communication due to electromagnetic waves. You don't want these devices anywhere near your soundbar. When you move these devices, the wireless connection improves. Products like a microwave and the router, for example.
Tip 2: don't block the soundbar and subwoofer
To ensure the soundbar and subwoofer have a strong connection, don't place them in a closed cupboard or behind walls. Make sure there's no metal, concrete, or plaster between the products. They work together best if there isn't anything between them.
Tip 3: use a wired connection
Connect your other appliances to the TV wired instead of wireless. Think of your console and Blu-ray player.
Tip 4: turn the RF channel on or off
The RF channel of a soundbar is turned on by default. When this channel is turned on, the system automatically selects the best channel to transmit a signal. Do you still hear white noise when the RF channel is switched on? Turn the RF channel off to solve the problem. Check the site of the manufacturer or the manual of the product to read how to turn the RF channel on or off.
Tip 5: reset the appliances
You reset every appliance in a different way. Check the manual of your product to read how to reset the appliances and set them up again.
