NOTES

• Do not connect the power cord of this product or your TV to a wall outlet until all connections between components are complete.

• If you use a device that uses the same frequency (5.8GHz) as the Soundbar near the Soundbar, interference may cause some sound interruption.
• The maximum transmission distance of the main unit's wireless signal is about 10 meters, 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.

PRECAUTIONS

• Wireless receiving antennas are 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 and the Wireless Receiver Module (sold separately) is clear of any obstructions.

04 CONNECTING TO YOUR TV

Hear TV sound from your Soundbar through wired or wireless connections.

- When the Soundbar is connected to selected Samsung TVs, the Soundbar can be controlled using the TV's remote control.

- This feature is available on 2017 and later Samsung Smart TVs that support Bluetooth when the Soundbar is connected to the TV using an optical cable.

- This function also allows you to use the TV menu to adjust the sound field and various settings as well as the volume and mute.

Method 1. Connecting with a Cable

When the audio in a broadcast is encoded in Dolby Digital and the “Digital Output Audio Format” on your TV is set to PCM, we recommend that you change the setting to Dolby Digital. When the setting on the TV is changed, you will experience better sound quality. (The TV menu may use different words for Dolby Digital and PCM depending on the TV manufacturer.)

Connecting a TV using an HDMI Cable

1. With the Soundbar and TV turned on, connect the HDMI cable as shown in the figure.
2. "TV ARC" appears in the display window of the Soundbar main unit and the Soundbar plays TV sound.

• Use the volume buttons on the TV's remote control to change the volume on the Soundbar.

NOTES

• HDMI is an interface that enables the digital transmission of video and audio data with just a single connector.
• If the TV provides an ARC port, connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI IN (ARC) port.

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, if:
• 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.

Connecting via Wi-Fi (Wireless Network)

• Connect a single Soundbar to Wi-Fi to access a variety of music streaming services and Internet radio. Connect multiple Soundbars to Wi-Fi to use grouped playback or the stereo sound mode.
• To connect a Soundbar to a mobile device via a wireless network (Wi-Fi), the SmartThings app is required.

The initial connection

1. Press the → (Source) button on the top of the Soundbar or on the remote control to select "WIFI" mode.

09 INSTALLING THE WALL MOUNT

Installation Precautions

• Install on a vertical wall only. - Do not install in a place with high temperature or humidity. - Verify whether the wall is strong enough to support the product's weight. If not, reinforce the wall or choose another installation point. • Purchase and use the fixing screws or anchors appropriate for the kind of wall you have (plaster board, iron board, wood, etc.). If possible, fix the support screws into wall studs.

• Purchase wall mounting screws according to the type and thickness of the wall you want to mount the Soundbar on.

- Diameter: M5

- Length: 35 mm or longer recommended.

- Connect cables from the unit to external devices before you install the Soundbar on the wall.

- Make sure the unit is turned off and unplugged before you install it. Otherwise, it may cause an electric shock.

Wallmount Components

Wall Mount Guide

Holder-Screw Screw

Bracket-Wall Mount

1. Place the Wall Mount Guide against the wall surface.

• The Wall Mount Guide must be level. - If your TV is mounted on the wall, install the Soundbar at least 5 cm below the TV.

1. Align the Wall Mount Guide's Centre Line with the centre of your TV (if you are mounting the Soundbar below your TV), and then fix the Wall Mount Guide to the wall using tape.

- If you are not mounting below a TV, place the Centre Line in the centre of the installation area.

1. Push a pen tip or sharpened pencil tip through the centre of the A-TYPE images on each end of the Guide to mark the holes for the supporting screws, and then remove the Wall Mount Guide.

1. Using an appropriately sized drill bit, drill a hole in the wall at each marking.

If the markings do not correspond to the positions of studs, make sure you insert appropriate anchors or mollies into the holes before you insert the support screws. If you use anchors or mollies, make sure the holes you drill are large enough for the anchors or mollies you use.

1. Push a screw (not supplied) through each Holder-Screw, and then screw each screw firmly into a support screw hole.

1. Install the 2 Bracket-Wall Mounts in the correct orientation on the bottom of the Soundbar using 2 Screws.
