Before you begin, download the Harman Kardon Controller app for iOS or Android. This app is available on both the iOS App Store and the Google Play Store. You will use this app to set up and configure the speaker. If you prefer to learn via video, Harman Kardon has created a helpful setup video. Just scan the QR code below to be taken to the video on the web.
Connecting Your Speaker to Wi-Fi
The first time you open the Harman Kardon Controller app, youwill be greeted by a tutorial walking you through the basic operations, followed by the Set Up NewSpeaker button. Pressing this button will begin the setup process, which the Controller app will guide you through. It will also be described in this manual. 1. Before continuing, choose a roomto set up. Decide if youwill be setting up the Omni Bar+ or Omni Adapt+ alone, or if you will be setting up awireless 5.1 surround system. Note that if you are setting up a wireless 5.1 surround system, you will need additional Omni 10+, 20+, or 50+ speakers. With the Omni Bar+, you can use a pair of Omni 10+, a pair of Omni 20+, or a pair of Omni 50+ speakers as your surrounds.With the Omni Adapt+, you will need 5 additional Omni 10+, 20+, or 50+ speakers. You will not be able tomix different types of Omni+ speakers together, so they allmust be the same model of speaker. Place the speaker(s) within Wi-Fi range of your home router or access point, and in the desired listening location. Consult the Wireless 5.1 Surround Setup section on page 21 for more information on proper placement for stereo speakers. Plug in only the speakers you wish to set up in this room to AC power, then proceed.
- The next step of the speaker setup process is to select where this speaker will be used. Select one of the predefined rooms, like Living Room or Bedroom. If you wish to use a different room name than one shown here, you may customize it in the next step, so select the icon you wish to associate with this room instead.
- After selecting a room name, you will be able to customize the room with a specific color. There are twelve different colors to choose from. This colorwill always be associated with this room while using the app to make it easier to differentiate between rooms. You may also change the room name by tapping on the name and typing a new name.
- Select the speaker type now: Omni Bar+; or Adapt+. The next step is to select how many Omni+ speakers you wish to use in this room. If youwish to use the Omni Bar+ alone, select Soundbar setup 2.1, or select Stereo if youwish to use your
- Omni Adapt+ alone. For a wireless 5.1 surround system using the Omni Bar+, select Soundbar setup 5.1 or Wireless 5.1 Surround Speaker using the Adapt+. Note that for a wireless 5.1 surround system, you must use a 5GHz Wi-Fi connection. To set up Omni Bar+ as a 5.1 surround system, refer to page 21.
After this, you will connect the speaker to your home network. The process for this differs between Android and iOS.
Omni Bar+ and Omni Adapt+ use a newiOS feature namedWireless Accessory Configuration, which is the easiest way to set up Wi-Fi for iOS users. Each speaker you have plugged in to AC power will appear on this screen. Select one of the speakers and an iOS systempopupwill appear, showing you a list ofWi-Fi networks in range. Choose theWi-Fi network you want to connect this speaker to, then press Next. This should normally be the same network your phone is connected to, which will appear as the default option.

You will now see each speaker you have connected to AC power on the screen. Select any one of the speakers to see a list of available Wi-Fi networks. Choose the Wi-Fi network you wish to connect your Omni+ speakers to, then enter the Wi-Fi password. Every Omni+ speaker will reboot and connect to this Wi-Fi network.
If you are only using one speaker in this room, continue to Source Setup on page 22. If you’re setting up a wireless 5.1 surround system, proceed to Wireless 5.1 Surround Setup on page 21.
WPS
WPS is a simple way to connect your system to your home Wi-Fi network. To confirm whether your router supports WPS, look for the WPS logo or the letters WPS on your router. The Omni Bar+ and Omni Adapt+ support both WPS-PBC and WPS-PIN modes.
WPS-PBC
To connect your speaker via WPS-PBC mode:
- Press the WPS button on your Wi-Fi router or access point.
- Within oneminute, press theWPS button on your Omni Bar+ or Omni Adapt+.
- The Link button on the top of the speaker will begin to quickly flash for up to one minute.When the LED stops flashing and turns solidwhite, your speaker is connected.

Wireless 5.1 Surround Setup
When setting up a surround sound system, speaker placement is important. You should place the surround speakers to the sides or behind the main seating area. Angle each speaker so it directly faces the listener. Place the speakers at the same height, preferably at about the same height as the listener’s ears.
After placing the speakers and connecting them to Wi-Fi (see Connecting Your Speaker toWi-Fi on page 18), the Controller app will guide you through assigning the channels. In the bottomof the screen, youwill see every available speaker on the network. Drag one of the speakers to the area for the correct position, and you will see the LED on top of that speaker flash white and hear an audio tone to identify which speaker you’ve selected.Make sure this is the correct speaker then repeat for each channel.
You may also upgrade any existingOmni Bar+orOmni Adapt+roomto awireless 5.1 system.Go to Settings> Roommanagement and select the room youwish to add additional speakers in. Select Set upmultichannel and you will be guided through the same setup process as above, with the ability to assign any other speaker already on the network to this room. After this step is complete, continue to Source Setup on page 22.
Source Setup
The final step to set up your Omni Bar+ or Omni Adapt+ is to configure the external sources. For each source, HDMI TV, Optical, or AUX-in, youwill select how you plan to use this source. If you are not using this source, select “Not used.” If you select “Watchingmovies and TV shows,” then this input will have very little delay and good lip sync with the TV for video applications. But you won’t be able to restreamthis input source to other Omni speakers in your house. If you select “Listening tomusic,” then youwill be able to restreamthis input to other Omni speakers in your house. Bus an additional delaywill be added for stability, which will be unsuitable for video applications
Connecting Your Speaker to Bluetooth
The Omni Bar+ and Omni Adapt+ are is equipped with Bluetooth, which allows audio streaming from any app on your phone or tablet. To pair your phone or tabletmake sure the speaker is fully powered on, then press the Bluetooth button on the top of the Omni Bar+ or remote control or the Source button on the top of the Omni Adapt+ for 3 seconds. The Link button on the top of the speaker will begin to flash blue. Find the speaker in your phone or tablet’s Bluetooth settings menu, and select it to pair. Once paired, all the audio from your phone or tablet will be wirelessly streamed to your speaker and all the other speakers in the same group. Stereo audiowill automatically be sent to the front left, front right, surround left, and surround right speakers in a wireless 5.1 system, and you can send the audio around the house by grouping rooms in the Controller app or by pressing the Link button.
Connecting External Sources
The preferred way to connect the Omni Bar+ to your TV is through HDMI ARC, which uses only a single cable and transmits high-quality digital audio. Using HDMI ARC, your TV’s CEC commands will also be sent to the Omni Bar+, which will enable it to automatically power on, power off, and change volume with from the TV remote control. Dolby Digital is supported via the HDMI TV connection, which will enable true 5.1 wireless surround sound.Another option for the Omni Bar+, and the preferred option for the Omni Adapt+ to connect to your TV, is through optical. An optical connection also supports high-quality digital audio and Dolby Digital surround sound. Note that if you use an optical connection with your TV, you should configure your TV to support “external speakers” and disable the built-in TV speakers. You may also connect external analog devices through the AUX-in or Analog In connectors on the Omni Bar+ and Omni Adapt+ by connecting a 3.5mm stereo auxiliary cable to the connector, and connecting the other end of the cable to your analog audio device. Dolby Digital surround sound and stereo audiowill automatically be sent to the correct channels in your wireless 5.1 surround sound system. Please make sure you have configured your sources correctly (see Source Setup on page 22), as any sources configured for Listening to Music can be sent around the house by grouping rooms in the Controller app or by pressing the Link button.
CONTROLLING YOUR SPEAKER
Speakers, Rooms, and Groups
A primary feature of the Harman Kardon Wireless HD Music System is the ability to send audio around the house to any number of different rooms. The way this is organized is through rooms and groups. A room contains one ormore speakers that always play audio together.
It has a specific name, like Living Room or Bedroom, a specific color, and a specific icon. Rooms show up in the Harman Kardon Controller app as destinations to streammusic to, and you can edit them, including the number of speakers, by going to Settings > Room management in the Controller app. They can be considered as permanent groups of speakers which always play the same audio content. Rooms with more than one speaker have a single Master speaker which is the speaker you use for physical button controls and to connect external sources. A group contains two or more rooms which play the same audio content. Their names are formed fromthe rooms inside them, for example if you add the Kitchen to the Lounge to play the same music in both rooms, it would be named Lounge +1. Adding the Living Roomwould change the name to Lounge +2, and so on. Groups are created through the physical Link button on the top of each speaker, or by pressing the Link Rooms button on themusic player page in the app. Groups can be considered as temporary groups of speakers which are playing the same audio content, but are easy to change as you walk from room to room or simply desire playing different music in different areas. Groups don’t have aMaster room, and if you begin playing something new in any room, it will take priority and all other rooms in the group will begin to play the same audio.
Volume and Muting
Controlling the volume on your speaker is simple. Press the Volume + button on the top of the speaker to increase the volume, or press the Volume – button to decrease the volume. Press both volume buttons together to mute the speaker. If the speaker is muted, any change in volume will automatically unmute it. You may also control the volume from within the Controller app. When you are streaming music fromthe Controller app to the speakers, you can use the hardware volume buttons on your phone or tablet to adjust the speaker volume. There is also a volume bar on the music player page in the Controller app,which can be used to adjust the volume for all speakers in the current group at once. Pressing the icon to the right of the volume barwill open amore detailed volume control for control of individual rooms inside the group.
Switching Sources
Your speaker can play audio from a variety of different sources, to let you play your favorite music. Chromecast built-in is supported by many different music apps and services (see Chromecast Built-In on page 27 formore information). If you have a Spotify Premiumaccount, Spotify Connect lets you play your favorite songs, playlists, and stations directly on the speakers. Even if you don’t have a Spotify Premium account, you can use Chromecast built-in to stream Spotify to your speakers. The Harman Kardon Controller app has direct integration with a number of different music services, as well as allowing you to play music from the music stored on your phone or tablet. Bluetooth and AUX-in allow you to play music from any app or any analog audio device you already use. Any time you begin playing audio from any of these sources, the speaker will automatically switch to that source and stop playing any audio content it was playing before. But if you desire more finetuned control over the active source, press the Source button to cycle through each one.
PLAYING MUSIC FROM WI-FI
Harman Kardon Controller App
The Controller app is the easiest way to start wirelessly playing music to your speakers. Immediately after speaker setup you will be taken to the localmusic player screen. You can see all themusic on your phone or tablet, sorted by Playlists, Songs, Artists, Albums, or Genres. Press any item on this screen and start dragging it. You can drop it on any room or group to immediately begin streaming. Select the additional playback options button on the music playback page to set the Shuffle and Repeat modes. Shuffle randomly orders your playback queue, playing each song once in a random order. Repeat One will repeat the current track over and over, and Repeat All will start at the beginning of the playback queue automatically when the last track is finished playing. 
Tap the icon on the top left of the screen to open the sidebar for more options. Here you can see different music services which are integrated into the Controller app, or enter the Settings menu. Selecting any of these music services will bring you to a log in screen. Log in with your music service account name and password and the music content in the app will change to thatmusic service’s content. If there are music services you rarely or never use, you can edit the list as it appears in the sidebar by going to Settings > Music Service Management. You can remove services from the list, reorder them, or add previously removed services.

TROUBLESHOOTING
| Problem | Solution |
| My speaker does not turn on | Make sure that the speaker is plugged in to a live AC power outlet, and if the outlet is switch- controlled make sure the switch is on. |
| My speaker does not appear in the Controller app | Make sure the speaker is connected to your Wi-Fi network and within Wi-Fi range. Also make sure your phone or tablet and your speaker are connected to the same network. |
| No sound is heard from the speaker | Turn up the volume on your speaker, or turn up the volume on your AUX-in source device |
| I’m unable to connect the speaker to my Wi-Fi network | Make sure the speaker is within range of your Wi- Fi router or access point. You may need to adjust the positioning if it’s too far away, or consider using Ethernet |
| Only one speaker in a wireless 5.1 system has audio output | Make sure all speakers are connected to AC power and within range of the Wi-Fi network |
| I am having trouble connecting my speakers in a wireless 5.1 surround configuration | Make sure you are using a 5GHz Wi-Fi network for setup. Wireless 5.1 surround will not work with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. |
| Problem | Solution | ||||||||
| Do you have a guide for best placement of speakers in a house? | Every house or apartment are different, and will be hard to provide a guide that suits all. What you can do, is to perform a WiFi network scan on your mobile device, to check how many Access points there are nearby your house. Then make sure that you select a Wi-Fi channel that are less busy then others. Second thing, you can use our HK Controller application to see how much noise each speakers has in your house. Simply go into settings and select “Send us feedback” and see results. All above -65dB are good signals. | ||||||||
| I am using a Wi-Fi extender and having problems with my speaker connection. | Make sure that your Wi-Fi extender supports 802.11n/ac 5GHz and only use that frequency to extend your Wi-Fi coverage. Only add speakers to a Wi-Fi extender if needed, we recommend to have most speakers to main Wi-Fi. | ||||||||
| I am using an AUX-in device with my Adapt+ and connecting to an external receiver or speaker via the Audio Out connector, and I don’t hear any audio. | Because volume is not automatically in sync over the Audio In and Audio Out connectors, we recommend you set volume to maximum on your AUX-in source device. Use the volume control of the Adapt+ only.
