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.

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 (
&
