How Do I Reset My Polk Soundbar?
The process for resetting a Polk soundbar may vary depending on the model.
However, some common methods include pressing and holding the “Microphone Mute” and “Volume Down” buttons for at least 10 seconds, or pressing and holding the “POWER”, “SOURCE”, and “VOL+” buttons.
If your soundbar does not have a reset button, you can try unplugging it from the power outlet and holding down the reset button for about 5 seconds.
What Do I Do If Pressing And Holding The Power Button And Volume Down Button For 10 Seconds Doesn’t Fix The Issue?
If pressing and holding the power button and volume down button for 10 seconds doesn’t fix the issue, there are a few other things you can try.
One option is to try rebooting your phone by long pressing the power button for about thirty seconds until a menu appears, then click on restart or switch your device off and on again.
Another option is to turn off the device, remove the battery, wait for 30 seconds, reinsert the battery, and turn on the device.
If these options don’t work, you may need to seek further technical assistance.
