Understanding the Importance of Input Naming

When you label the inputs on your soundbar, you greatly improve the user experience for everyone in your home. Clear input names, like “TiVo” or “Xbox,” allow family members to quickly identify which device they want to use, reducing confusion.

This concise naming—ideally under 10 characters—ensures that the correct input name appears on the TV, facilitating smoother changes between devices. Consistent labeling fosters familiarity with the soundbar, preventing frustration during device switching.

Navigating to the System Menu

To label your soundbar inputs effectively, you first need to access the System menu.

Start by pressing the HOME button on your remote control. When the home menu appears, locate and select the “System” option from the available items.

Within this menu, find the “Input Rename” option to access your input settings. Use the cursor keys to navigate through your input sources like HDMI, AV, and AUX.

Selecting the Input Source for Renaming

Once you’re in the Input Settings section of your soundbar, you’ll need to select the specific input source you want to rename, which could include options like HDMI 1-5 or other audio/video inputs.

Follow these steps to ensure you select the correct source:

1. Use the cursor keys to navigate through the available inputs on your soundbar.
