Frequently Asked Questions - HW-T550 SAMSUNG

How to connect the soundbar to the TV?

You can connect the soundbar to your TV in two ways: via optical cable (connect the TV's OPTICAL OUT to the soundbar's DIGITAL AUDIO IN (OPTICAL)) or wirelessly via Bluetooth (activate BT PAIRING on the soundbar and select 'Samsung Soundbar T4-Series' in the TV's Bluetooth settings).

How to connect the wireless subwoofer?

The subwoofer connects automatically to the soundbar when both are powered on. If the connection is lost, check that the subwoofer is on and within 10 meters of the soundbar. You can also try unplugging the power cords of both the subwoofer and the soundbar, then plugging them back in.

What to do if there is no sound?

First check that the soundbar is on and the volume is set to an audible level. Make sure the audio source (TV, Bluetooth device) is correctly selected. If the sound is muted, press the mute button on the remote. Also check that the TV speakers are disabled in the audio settings.

How to pair a mobile device via Bluetooth?

Press the PAIR button on the remote to enter BT PAIRING mode, or select the BT source and hold the Source button for 5 seconds. On your mobile device, enable Bluetooth and select '[AV] Samsung Soundbar T4-Series' from the list. If a PIN is requested, enter 0000.

The remote control does not work, what to do?

Check that the batteries are inserted correctly (polarity respected) and that they are not depleted. Replace them if necessary. Ensure there is no obstacle between the remote and the soundbar and that the distance does not exceed 7 meters.

Can I mount the soundbar on the wall?

Yes, the soundbar comes with a wall mount kit including a guide, brackets, and screws. Follow the instructions in the manual to install the soundbar on a solid vertical wall. Ensure at least 5 cm of space is left below the TV if it is mounted.

How to update the soundbar software?

Download the latest firmware from the Samsung website onto a USB drive (FAT format). Insert the drive into the soundbar's USB port while the soundbar is off. Turn on the soundbar and select the USB source. The display shows 'UPDATE' and the update begins. Do not disconnect the device during the process. Once complete, the soundbar turns off.

How to adjust the bass level?

Use the WOOFER button on the remote to adjust the subwoofer volume from -12 to +6 (in 1-step increments). To fine-tune the bass, press and hold the Sound Control button for 5 seconds to access the 7-band equalizer and adjust low frequencies with the Up/Down buttons.

Why is the audio out of sync with the video?

You can synchronize the audio by activating the Audio Sync function. Press the Sound Control button to select AUDIO SYNC, then adjust the delay from 0 to 300 ms with the Up/Down buttons. This function is available in D.IN, BT, and HDMI (if applicable) modes.

How to maintain the soundbar?

1. Push a pen tip or sharpened pencil tip through the centre of the B-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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

• When assembling, make sure the hanger part of the Bracket-Wall Mounts are located behind the rear of the Soundbar.

Right end of Soundbar

1. Install the Soundbar with the attached Bracket-Wall Mounts by hanging the Bracket-Wall Mounts on the Holder-Screws on the wall.

1. Slide the Soundbar down as shown below so that the Bracket-Wall Mounts rest securely on the Holder-Screws.

2. Insert the Holder-Screws into the wide (bottom) part of the Bracket-Wall Mounts, and then slide the Bracket-Wall Mounts down so that the Bracket-Wall Mounts rest securely on the Holder-Screws.

10 SOFTWARE UPDATE

Samsung may offer updates for the Soundbar's system firmware in the future.

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. For more information about how to download update files, go to the Samsung Electronics website at www.samsung.com Support.

Then, select the product type or enter the model number of your Soundbar, select the Software & Apps option, and then Downloads. Note that the option names can vary.

Update Procedure

Important: The updating function erases all user settings. We recommend you write down your settings so that you can easily reset them after the update. Note that updating the firmware resets the subwoofer connection too.

1. Connect a USB thumb drive to the USB port on your computer.
   Important: Make sure there are no music files on the USB thumb drive. This may cause the firmware update to fail.
2. Go to the Samsung website (samsung.com) select Enter Model Number and enter the model of your Soundbar. Select manuals and downloads and download the latest software file.
3. Save the downloaded software to a USB stick and select "Extract Here" to unzip the folder.
4. Turn off the Soundbar and connect the USB stick containing the software update to the USB port.
5. Turn on the Soundbar and source change to "USB" mode. Within 3 minutes, "UPDATE" is displayed and updating begins.

6. When the update finishes, the Soundbar turns off (or turns off by press the (Power) button). Press the button on the remote control for 5 seconds. "INIT" appears on the display and then the Soundbar turns off. The update is complete.

7. This product has a DUAL BOOT function. If the firmware fails to update, you can update the firmware again.

8. Restore your settings on the Soundbar.

If UPDATE is not displayed

1. Turn off the Soundbar, disconnect and then reconnect the USB storage device that contains the update files to the Soundbar's USB port.
2. Disconnect the Soundbar's power cord, reconnect it, and then turn on the Soundbar.

NOTES

• The firmware update may not work properly if audio files supported by the Soundbar are stored in the USB storage device.
• Do not disconnect the power or remove the USB device while updates are being applied.
• After the update is completed, the user setup in the Soundbar is initialised so you can reset your settings. We recommend you write down your settings so that you can easily reset them after the update.

If the software update fails, check if the USB stick is defective.

Mac OS users should use MS-DOS (FAT) as the USB format.
- Updating via USB may not be available, depending on the USB storage device manufacturer.
