Transcript of Video Titled โInada Sogno Dreamwave Massage Chair โ Your First Timeโ
[SCREEN TEXT: Your First Time]
Alan: Hi, I’m Dr. Alan Weidner from ‘Massage-Chair-Relief.com‘, and today we are going to introduce you to the Inada Sogno for someone that’s using it for the first time and wants to get started and doesn’t know exactly how to use it. I’ve had a number of my clients ask me about whether when the chair is delivered, and by the way, white glove delivery is included with the Inada Sogno, which is coming in to the home, the shippers will set up the chair, assemble it, unpack it of course, assemble it, and then take all the packing material. Well, a lot of people ask ‘Well, will the shippers show me how to use the chair?’ And, usually no, because the shippers don’t know how to use the chair, they know how to set it up, but they’ve never used it. So, this video, is to introduce people to the chair for the first time, how to use it the first time, and maybe, well, then what I’ll do is I’ll also explain to you what we do with people when they come in to try out the chair for the first time, the program we put them on, and we’ll go over a brief review of how to use the remote control, and things to be aware of while you’re sitting on the chair for the very first time.

Alan: So anyways, what you do when you get in the chair for the first time is you want to sit in it, and make sure that when you put your feet in the ottoman that you don’t flip over the airbag. You’ll see here that there’s a tendency to, if you’re not careful, that the flimsy airbags will become folded over and you won’t get the full benefit of the massage there. And you sit in the chair, when you sit in the chair, don’t worry about the head piece being between your shoulder blades, and down below your shoulder blades because, when the chair reclines that head piece will, when you recline that head piece will kind of slide up a little bit up your spine, and then once you’re in the recline position that you want, then you can kind of snuggle in there and get set in the chair in a really comfortable position. So, what I do is I grab the remote, the very first thing I do is I grab the remote, and you’ll notice on the remote control that, when you get the chair for the very first time, this light will be a yellow, whitish light. That just means the chair’s in ‘Standby’, if you turn, press the ‘Stop’ button, the light will turn red, and you will not be able to do anything on it, you can’t recline, you can’t use any airbags, nothing, and it also will display up here, it’ll say that the ‘Stop’ is activated, and you’ll have to push the button again to get back to the ‘Standby’, which is the ‘Yellow’, or ‘White’. Now, what we do, the first thing we do is we push the button to go to ‘Green’, ‘Green’ means you’re good to go, in the ‘Yellow’ you can recline it, and bring it up and down and get out of the chair OK, and raise the ottoman up and down, but you just can’t use any of the functions. When you got ‘Green’, you’re good to go, ‘Green’ is good to go. And you’ll see here on the remote also you’ve got a ‘Full-Body’ massage here, a ‘Full-Body Air’ massage, if you just want airbags and no rollers. Here’s a ‘Youth’ massage program for shorter people and youth, the chair is designed for people from 4′ llโ up to 6′ 4โ, so for shorter folks even the ‘Youth’ program would work, even for a shorter adult. ‘Quick’ is what we give to everybody that sits in the Sogno for the very first time, we put them on the ‘Quick’ program, which gives a taste of all the different automatic programs. It’s a great way to get introduced to the chair, so if you’re sitting in your chair for the first time today, turn on the ‘Green’ light, push the ‘Quick’ button, and it’ll run you through, and we’ll go over that in a minute.
[SCREEN TEXT: ‘www.massage-chair-relief.com’ 888-259-5380]
Alan: We also have a ‘Morning’ program, a ‘Night’ program, a ‘Stretch’ program, and a ‘Dreamwave’ program. Those are all the automatic programs, and then underneath the handle, all the manual programs. So, you can do manual settings, and I’m just going to get my glasses on, because I’m getting old, and I’m getting blind, but you can do ‘Shoulder Air’, you can do ‘Arm Air’, you can do ‘Back Vibration’, ‘Seat Air’, ‘Foot Air’, or you can just do ‘Rolling’, ‘Full-‘ or ‘Partial-Rolling’, and then push what you want the rollers to do, ‘Kneading’, ‘Double-Kneading’, ‘Human Hand’, ‘Shiatsu’, ‘Tapping’, you can increase the ‘Speed’ of it, the ‘Width’ of the rollers, so this is where you can do everything manually. There’s a ‘Mute’ here, so you don’t hear all the dings and dongs and all the sounds going off, there’s also a ‘Heater’ button, where you can turn on and off the heater. Up here, oh and by the way, whenever you turn on a manual program or an automatic program, and you are going to see this when we turn on the ‘Quick’ program, it will immediately, tell you, well, this is what happens, people will push a button to start a program โฆ
[SCREEN TEXT: ‘www.massage-chair-relief.com’ 888-259-5380]
Alan: โฆ and then they’ll push other buttons to try to increase the intensity, or like, the ‘Back 3-D’ intensity or they’ll try to, you know, increase the ‘Speed’, or whatever, or the ‘Air Level’, and it will say here, on your display, it’ll say ‘Not Available’, ‘That Feature Is Not Available’. That does not mean that it’s not working, it just means that during the body scan, which happens at the beginning of every one of these programs, during the body scan, you can not touch any of the other buttons and have them work, because the chair is doing it’s own thing, which is scanning your back, figuring out how tight you are, what the shape of your muscles, or the shape of your spine is, how tight your muscles are, your height, it’s accessing your body type, and then it’s going to cater the massage to that. And that lasts for about 45 seconds, and then, once that scan is done, and the massage begins, then you can go in here and start changing things and playing around a little bit. OK. So, the first thing that we’re going to do is we’re going to press the ‘Quick’ program, and again, Brock, if you’ll go out a little bit and so that we can see how I have the head piece is down low. It looks abnormal because your head should be resting inside the head piece, but when you recline, you’ll understand why we do this, because we want you to fit in this chair very snug. It is meant to be a snug-fitting, very comfortable chair. So, the first thing I’m going to do is I’m going to push the ‘Quick’ program, which is the program I choose to use. You may use that, at first, and then you can go, after, and use any of the programs, for heaven sakes, have fun with it. But now, that the ‘Quick’ program is started, it says here ‘Adjusting Recline’, so it’s telling us on the display that it’s adjusting the recline, you’ll see that it’s going back. Not all the programs have a preset positioning, you can adjust the positioning here, on this part of the remote control, with the recline, you can go up or down, or the ottoman can go up or down. Now, now that it’s reclined, and my ottoman’s up all the way, now I snuggle in to it, and I put my arms inside the arm massage, and I get this part of the head piece right on top of my shoulders, because there’s airbags that push down on the shoulders, and I want those, they feel great. And then I can cradle my head in the head piece.
[SCREEN TEXT: ‘www.massage-chair-relief.com’ 888-259-5380]
Alan: The problem is, is if you snuggle in to the chair when it’s upright, and then it reclines, the head piece, relatively speaking, will slide up, and your head will be down too low, and your head will be kind of propped forward, it’s very uncomfortable, but when you’re cradled in the head piece, it’s very comfortable. So, right now on the display it says it’s adjusting the shoulder position, in other words, it’s figuring out where my shoulder is, relative to the rest of my body, and it’s doing a fine-tuned ‘Shiatsu’ scan, and that’s what it’s doing right now. It’s locating ‘Shiatsu’ points on my spine, the rollers are going up and down my spine, and it’s going down to my low back, and well in to my buttocks, which is one of the great features of this chair. And it looks like now, ‘The Session Has Begun’. See, the session now starts, if I would’ve tried to change any of these settings, during the scan, it would’ve said here, on the display, ‘The Function Not Available’. Now the massage has started, now I can do whatever I want. Now I can adjust the intensity, and that’s this button here where it says ‘Back 3-D’, it’ll push the rollers more forward, and you’ll see it’s pushing my body more forward.
[SCREEN TEXT: ‘www.massage-chair-relief.com’ 888-259-5380]
Alan: And that increases the intensity, or you can lessen the intensity, push the ‘Negative’ button, see how it lets my body drop down and now the intensity is diminished, now the head piece is working, I’ve got airbags going there, I’ve got airbags going in my calves. This program is now operating in full function, and I can go in and adjust whatever I want. I can adjust the ‘Air Level’ if I want it more intense, that’s this little button on the bottom right. There’s ‘Low’, ‘Medium’, and ‘High’ airbag intensity, and if I want vibration off, I can push this button and turn the vibration off. Now see these airbags are pushing down on my shoulders, I love that. But if I would’ve gotten in to the chair initially, and got snuggled in to the, underneath the head piece and positioned before that, before the massage started, before it reclined, I would not be feeling the full benefit of these airbags. So, we like to have people completely snuggled with their head reclined and cradled, in the head piece, it’s very comfortable. OK, so that is what you do when you’re a new, when you’re a new user of the Inada Sogno, very simple, get in it, sit up, push the ‘Quick’ button, and then let the chair recline, get snuggled in, get your arms in the airbags, in the airbag arm massage, and just let your head fall back, and let the chair do it’s thing. And don’t try to adjust anything while it’s scanning your body because it won’t work, and you’ll think that something’s wrong with the chair, because it’ll say ‘Function Not Available’. That’s only during the scan, now when the scan’s done, then you just enjoy the massage, and let it do it’s thing If you want to change it, change the intensity, change anything, go ahead and change it. Now, let’s say, I want to, OK, let’s say I’m done with this program, it defaults after a certain number of minutes, the program will stop, the chair will stop, and this little light will turn from ‘Green’ to ‘White’ again, or ‘Yellow’, and then it stops, and then you have to push the ‘Recline’ button, the upward position, and it’ll bring everything back, up to the ‘Neutral’ position again. But what I’m going to do is I’m going to show you next, how to use the manual programs. So, I’m pushing this button to bring it up, it brings the ottoman down, and the chair back up.
[SCREEN TEXT: ‘www.massage-chair-relief.com’ 888-259-5380]
Alan: Now, of course, from this position if I just want to bring the ottoman up, it’s called the ‘Leg Rest’ on the remote here, if I push the ‘Leg Rest’ button, and bring the ottoman up, up comes the ottoman, so you can adjust that from this remote as well. If you want to lower the ottoman, you want it more comfortable, like if you want, let’s say you recline the chair, but you’re thinking ‘Oh, you know what, I want it more reclined, but I want the legs down more, because I’m really tall, and I want to be able to fit better’. So, you can recline the chair as far back as you want, so let’s say I recline it, by the way, notice how the light is ‘Yellow’ or ‘White’, and so it’s in ‘Standby’, but I’m able to raise the chair, lower the chair, raise the ottoman, lower the ottoman, so now, let’s say, I’m in this position, the recline, you’ll see it adjusts the chair back recline, and the ottoman, but let’s say I’m in this position now, and maybe I’m 6′ 5โ or 6′ 4โ, and it’s too tight for me or too, it feels too short, you can lower the ottoman now, and it’ll bring the ottoman down, isolated, while the chair back remains reclined. OK. So, that is, and then of course, to bring everything back up, just push the ‘Up’ position for the ‘Recline’ button, and up you come again
[SCREEN TEXT: ‘www.massage-chair-relief.com’ 888-259-5380]
Alan: Now, if you want to adjust, and I’m just going to wait for everything to come back up again, and you’ll see the ottoman is down now, the chair back is coming back up to position. There’s not a ‘Restore’ button on this one, where you push the button and everything comes back up again, you have to just hold this button down the whole time. OK, so now we’re back up to ‘Neutral’, now let’s say, that I want to, and I got to get my glasses on again, having another senior moment, I want to, I want to use one of the manual settings. Let’s say I just want to have ‘Shoulder Air’, you know the airbags that just on the shoulder, which I love. I’ll push the button on, for ‘Green’ on, push the ‘Shoulder Air’ and you’ll notice here now, it makes a beep when it starts, and that’s the beep you can turn off if you push the ‘Mute’ button. Now it’s in the ‘Shoulder Airbag’ massage, now it’s massaging me, and I’m not reclining for you, I’m just staying in the upright position. But now, I’m going to want to change the, now, I want to change the position, or the intensity, from ‘Shoulder Air High’ to ‘Low’ to ‘Medium’.
[SCREEN TEXT: ‘www.massage-chair-relief.com’ 888-259-5380]
Alan: And then this one is ‘Shoulder Air High’, now that the scanning is done, I can go ahead and adjust that, and make it more intense or less intense, and you’re on your way. Now I have it on ‘Shoulder Air’, but if I want to have, let’s say I want to have some foot air, I can push on the ‘Foot Air’, independent of the ‘Shoulder Air’ , and now I can have the airbags go down in to the feet. But what you’ll find, oh man, this is a good massage, holy cow, but what you’ll find is when the airbags are going on in the neck, they will not go on in the feet, so it’ll alternate, so now that I have the ‘Foot Air’ on, when the air, when this little cycle is complete in the neck, then the ottoman will turn on and the airbags in the feet and in the calves will turn on. So, it alternates, not all the air gets dispersed at the same time to all the different airbags, so that’s an important thing to know as well. So, you might push ‘Foot Massage’ after you’ve pushed ‘Shoulder Massage’, and you might think ‘Well, how come the foot’s not inflating?’ Well, it’s because all the air is being directed towards the, towards the shoulders, and then after that is done, or the shoulders and neck, after that’s done, then they’ll go down to the feet and legs.
[SCREEN TEXT: ‘www.massage-chair-relief.com’ 888-259-5380]
Alan: And then it’ll concentrate on that. You’ll also notice when you’re on an automatic program, the airbags don’t turn on, all of them at the same time, you’ll have airbags that will go on the neck, and then one arm, and then the other arm, and then the calves, and then the seat, so there kind of is an alternating, it’s almost a hypnotic, it’s very, very comfortable. OK, now see the airbags in the neck have stopped, now the ottoman airbags are inflating, you see, because now the air is being directed away from the neck, down in to the feet and the calves. And that’s kind of, that’s kind of how it always works with the chair, it kind of alternates, so not all the air is being dispersed at the same time. And that is an introduction to the Inada Sogno, that’s getting started on the Inada Sogno, and hopefully that is a good enough guideline for you when you’re getting started, if you’re still having confusion about how to use the chair, right off the bat, give me a call at 888-259-5380, or at our showroom at 801-417-8240, and of course, you can always see all of our videos on the Sogno, either on our YouTube channel, which is ‘YouTube.com/MassageChairRelief‘ or on the website ‘Massage-Chair-Relief.com’, we have all of the, all of the the videos that we’ve filmed for the Sogno all in one place there on the product page as well.
