ry this. Remove power from the sound bar and the subwoofer and leave them unplugged for 5 minutes.

Plug in the sound bar and then the subwoofer and try the setup again - by pressing the link button on the subwoofer and then pressing and holding the input button on the sound bar for 5 seconds.

Watch the sound bar display - it should say linking and then linked - if not, you might have a DOA unit. Did you purchase this locally?
