How do I get my onn soundbar to work it is hooked up but does not work

To reset your Onn Soundbar model 100069413, you can try the following steps:

1. Using the remote control:

• Press and hold the "Volume Down" button and the "Source" button on the remote control simultaneously for about 5 seconds.
• The soundbar should turn off and back on, indicating that it has been reset to its default settings.

1. Without using the remote control:

• Unplug the power cord from the soundbar and wait for about 30 seconds.
• While the power cord is unplugged, press and hold the "Power" button on the soundbar for about 5 seconds.
• Reconnect the power cord to the soundbar and turn it on.

If these steps do not work, you may need to refer to the user manual or contact the manufacturer for further assistance.

You missed a step. I wrote this Tip about it.

PCM mode is a digital audio file that should be sent to the soundbar via an optical or coaxial digital audio cable. The coaxial digital audio cable uses an RCA plug but not the L/R stereo channels of analog audio. The aux input is usually the 3.5 MM cable from a computer, CD or MP3 player or a cell phone or tablet.

First, which type of RCA cable is connected between the sound bar and the TV? Second, are you sure that the TV connection is an audio out? (A number of recent TVs have only one audio output. This means there is only the optical audio out and not even a headphone jack.)

Once you double-check the input at the sound bar, choose the Line In input if you are using the stereo RCA cable. If you are using the Optical input, select that input. Use either the Mode button or the specific input button on the remote. Then double-check that the TV is set for the appropriate audio out.

I hope this helps. Please add a comment with the model of the TV and the sound bar for further information. I looked at the ONB18SB001 documentation for some of this. The manual for this Onn soundbar is available at Manuals Lib. See https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1498038/Onn-Onb18sb001.html?page=12#manual for the list of input modes and the input to which they correspond. Here is the image of the inputs on the back of the ONB18SB001: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1498038/Onn-Onb18sb001.html?page=7#manual .

Hope that helped..

buy a new working soundbar.

Be sure you are hooking up the Audio Output from the TV or satellite to the soundbar.

From the satellite box both Audio Output and Video Output go to the TV, and then Audio Output from the TV goes to the soundbar.
Or
From the satellite box Video Output goes to the TV and Audio Output goes to the soundbar.

You may have to go into the settings on the tv and turn off the internal speakers in order to get audio out of the jacks on back.
