Frequently Asked Questions - HW-S46T SAMSUNG

How do I connect the soundbar to my TV?

Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI ARC port on the soundbar to the HDMI ARC port on your TV. Alternatively, use an optical cable (included) for audio-only connection.

Why is there no sound from the subwoofer?

Ensure the subwoofer is powered on and its LED indicator is solid blue (connected). If not, press the PAIR button on the back of the subwoofer and then press the remote's SUBWOOFER button to initiate pairing. Keep subwoofer within 10 m of the soundbar.

Can I control the soundbar with my TV remote?

Yes, via HDMI ARC or optical connection, the soundbar supports Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC). Enable both in TV and soundbar settings to control volume and power with the TV remote.

How do I reset the soundbar to factory settings?

Press and hold the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons on the soundbar simultaneously for about 5 seconds until the display shows 'INIT OK'. This clears all settings.

How do I update the firmware?

Download the latest firmware from the Samsung support website to a USB flash drive (FAT32). Connect the USB to the soundbar's USB port, then press the Source button until 'USB' appears. The update starts automatically.

What audio formats are supported?

The soundbar supports Dolby Digital and DTS 2.0 (2-channel). For multi-channel formats like DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD, use an external player or TV capable of decoding and outputting via HDMI.

Can I connect my smartphone via Bluetooth?

Yes, press the Source button until 'BT' appears on the display. On your phone, search for Soundbar HW-S46T and pair. The soundbar supports Bluetooth 4.2 with a range of up to 10 m.

How do I mount the soundbar on the wall?

Use the included wall mount kit. Mark two screw holes at a horizontal distance of 600 mm (for soundbar) and 200 mm (for subwoofer if needed). Use M4 screws (not included) to fix the brackets, then slide the soundbar onto them securely.

The soundbar turns off automatically. How can I disable this?

Press and hold the Sound Mode button on the remote for 5 seconds to toggle the Auto Power Off feature. The display shows 'AUTO POWER OFF' on or off. Disabling it keeps the soundbar on until manually turned off.

Where is the Samsung HW-S46T manufactured?
