CONNECTING THE WIRELESS SUBWOOFER  
The Subwoofer's linking ID is preset at the factory and the main unit and subwoofer should link (connect  
wirelessly) automatically when the main unit and subwoofer are turned on. If the Link indicator (  
) does not  
light when the main unit and subwoofer are turned on, please set the ID by following the procedure below.  
1. Plug the power cords of the main unit and  
subwoofer into an AC wall outlet.  
Before moving or installing the product,  
be sure to turn off the power and  
disconnect the power cord.  
2. Press the ID SET button on the back of the  
subwoofer with a small, pointed object for  
5 seconds.  
If the main unit is powered off, the  
wireless subwoofer will be in standby  
mode and the STANDBY LED on the  
upper side will come on after the Link  
indicator (Blue LED) blinks for 30 seconds.  
If you use a device that uses the same  
frequency (2.4GHz) as the Soundbar near  
the Soundbar, interference may cause  
some sound interruption.  
The transmission distance of the wireless  
signal between the main unit and  
subwoofer is about 33 ft., but may vary  
depending on your operating  
environment. If a steel-concrete or  
metallic wall is between the main unit and  
the wireless subwoofer, the system may  
not operate at all, because the wireless  
signal cannot penetrate metal.  
If the main unit doesn't make a wireless  
connection, follow steps 1-5 in the left  
hand column to re-set the connection  
between the main unit and wireless  
subwoofer.  
The STANDBY indicator is turned off and the  
LINK indicator (Blue LED) blinks quickly.  
3. While the main unit is powered off (in STANDBY  
mode), press and hold the MUTE (  
remote control for 5 seconds.  
) on the  
4. The ID SET message appears on the Soundbar's  
display.  
5. To finalize the link, turn the main unit’s power on  
while the subwoofer’s Blue LED blinks.  
The main unit and the subwoofer should  
now be linked (connected).  
The Link indicator (Blue LED) on the  
subwoofer should be on.  
If the Link indicator is not solid blue, the  
linking process has failed. Turn off the main  
unit and start again from Step 2.  
You can enjoy better sound from the wireless  
subwoofer by selecting a Sound Effect.  
(See page 10)  
The wireless receiving antenna is built into  
the wireless subwoofer. Keep the unit  
away from water and moisture.  
For optimal listening performance, make  
sure that the area around the wireless  
subwoofer location is clear of any  
obstructions.

More About Bluetooth  
Bluetooth is a technology that enables Bluetooth-compliant devices to interconnect easily with each other  
using a short wireless connection.  
A Bluetooth device may cause noise or malfunction, depending on usage, when:  
-
A part of your body is in contact with the receiving/transmitting system of the Bluetooth device or the  
Soundbar.  
-
-
It is subject to electrical variation from obstructions caused by a wall, corner, or office partition.  
It is exposed to electrical interference from same frequency-band devices including medical equipment,  
microwave ovens, and wireless LANs.  
Pair the Soundbar with the Bluetooth device while they are close together.  
The further the distance between the Soundbar and Bluetooth device, the worse the quality is.  
If the distance exceeds the Bluetooth operational range, the connection is lost.  
In poor reception areas, the Bluetooth connection may not work properly.  
The Bluetooth connection only works when it is close to the unit. The connection will be automatically cut  
off if the Bluetooth device is out of range. Even within range, the sound quality may be degraded by  
obstacles such as walls or doors.  
This wireless device may cause electric interference during its operation.

FUNCTIONS  
SOFTWARE UPDATE  
Samsung may offer updates for the Soundbar's  
system firmware in the future.  
Insert a USB device containing the  
firmware update into the USB port on the  
main unit.  
If an update is offered, you can update the firmware  
by connecting a USB device with the firmware  
update stored on it to the USB port on your  
Soundbar.  
Updating firmware may not work properly  
if audio files supported by the Soundbar  
are stored in the USB storage device.  
Note that if there are multiple update files, you must  
load them onto the USB device singly and use them  
to update the firmware one file at a time.  
Do not disconnect the power or remove  
the USB device while updates are being  
applied. The main unit will turn off  
automatically after completing the  
firmware update.  
Please visit samsung.com or contact the Samsung  
call center to receive more information about  
downloading updates files.  
After reset, all settings are reset to their  
factory default settings. We recommend  
you write down your settings so that you  
can easily reset them after the update.  
Note that updating firmware resets  
subwoofer connection too. If connection  
to the subwoofer is not established  
automatically after resetting,  
refer to page 13.  
If the firmware fails to update, we  
recommend formatting the USB device in  
FAT16 and trying again.  
Once the software update is completed,  
turn off the product and then press and  
hold the (  
&
) button on the remote  
control for more than 5 seconds. “INIT”  
appears on the display and the unit is  
powered off. The updgrade is complete.  
Do not format the USB device in the NTFS  
format. The Soundbar does not support  
the NTFS file system.  
Depending on the manufacturer, some  
USB devices may not be supported.
