NOTES

  • If the main unit is powered off, the wireless subwoofer will go into stand-by mode and the STANDBY LED on the rear of the sub-woofer will turn red after blinking in blue several times.
  • 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 m, 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.

SAMSUNG HW-Q76T - NOTES - 1

CAUTION

  • 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.

05 USING A WIRED CONNECTION TO THE TV

Method 1. Connecting with HDMI

SAMSUNG HW-Q76T - Method 1. Connecting with HDMI - 1

CAUTION

  • When both the HDMI cable and optical cable are connected, the HDMI signal is received first.
  • To connect the HDMI cable between the TV and Soundbar, be sure to connect the terminals marked ARC. Otherwise, the TV sound may not be output.
  • Be sure to use the cable with the premium HDMI certification logo. In addition, make sure that the cable is a certified Type A, high-speed HDMI Ethernet cable. (HIGH SPEED HDMI CABLE WITH ETHERNET)

Connecting the TV that supports HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel)

  1. With the Soundbar and TV turned off, connect the HDMI cable as shown in the figure.
  2. Turn on the Soundbar and TV.
  3. "TV ARC" appears in the display window of the Soundbar main unit and the Soundbar plays TV sound.
  4. If TV sound is inaudible, press the (Source) button on the remote control or on the top of the Soundbar to switch to "D.IN" mode. The screen displays "D.IN" and "TV ARC" in sequence, and TV sound is played.
  5. When connecting a TV that supports the eARC function, "eARC" appears on the display and the sound is heard.
  6. To connect with eARC, the eARC function in the TV menu should be set to On. Refer to the TV user manual for details on setting. (e.g. Samsung TV: Home (n) → Settings (☀) → Sound → Expert Settings → HDMI-eARC Mode (Auto))
  7. If "TV ARC" does not appear in the display window of the Soundbar main unit, confirm that the HDMI cable is connected to the correct port.
  8. Use the volume buttons on the TV's remote control to change the volume on the Soundbar.

NOTES

  • When you connect the TV that supports the HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) to the Soundbar with an HDMI cable, you can transmit digital video and audio data without connecting a separate optical cable.
  • We recommend you use a coreless HDMI cable if possible. If you use a cored HDMI cable, use one whose diameter is less than 14 mm.
  • This function is not available if the HDMI cable does not support ARC.
  • 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.)

Method 2. Connecting using an Optical Cable

Pre-connection Checklist

  • When both the HDMI cable and optical cable are connected, the HDMI signal is received first.
  • When you use an optical cable and the terminals have covers, be sure to remove the covers.
