• For information about the required electrical power and power consumption, refer to the label attached to the product. (Label : Bottom of the Soundbar Main Unit)

05 CONNECTING TO A TV

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

• When the Soundbar is connected to selected Samsung TVs, you can control the Soundbar using the TV's remote control.

• This feature is supported by 2017 and later Samsung Smart TVs that support Bluetooth when you connect the Soundbar 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.

Connecting using an Optical Cable

Step 1. Connect an Optical Cable

NOTE

• 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 or Bluetooth Device via Bluetooth

Step 1. Change the Soundbar mode to "Bluetooth Pairing"

Step 2. Select the Soundbar in your TV's or Bluetooth device's Menu

NOTE

• You cannot connect more than one TV or Bluetooth device at a time.

Step 3. Check the Soundbar's status

The blue LED should not be blinking once the Bluetooth connection is complete.

If the TV or device fails to connect

• If a previously connected Soundbar listing appears in the device list of your TV or Bluetooth device, delete it. (e.g. "[AV] Samsung Soundbar T400 T-Series")
• Then repeat steps 1 through 3.

Disconnecting the Soundbar from the TV

Press the button on the right side panel or on the remote control and switch to any mode but "Bluetooth".

• Disconnecting takes time because the TV must receive a response from the Soundbar. (The time required may differ, depending on the TV model.)
• To cancel the automatic Bluetooth connection between the Soundbar and TV, press and hold button for 5 seconds in "Bluetooth Ready" mode. TV Connect is turned OFF.
• To turn TV Connect back on, press and hold the button for 5 seconds with the Soundbar in "Bluetooth Ready" mode.

Available only if the Soundbar is listed among the Bluetooth device's paired devices.

(The Bluetooth device and the Soundbar must have been previously paired at least once.)

• The Soundbar cannot be paired to another Bluetooth device if already in Bluetooth mode and paired to a Bluetooth device.

Bluetooth Power On/Off

If a previously paired Bluetooth device tries to pair with the Soundbar when the Bluetooth Power function is on and the Soundbar is turned off, the Soundbar turns on automatically.

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.

CAUTION

• All the settings of the Soundbar are initialized. Be sure to perform this only when initialization is required.

09 INSTALLING THE WALL MOUNT (OPTIONAL)

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: M4
Length: 1.6 inches 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.

Wall mount Components

For Installation on Concrete Walls (not supplied)

NOTE

• Installations on other types of walls will require different kinds of screws.

1.

2.

IMPORTANT NOTE

• The installation method shown here is for CONCRETE walls. Installation methods will vary depending on the wall type. For installation on dry wall, we strongly recommend you drill screw support holes into the underlying wood studs.

3.

4.

5.

NOTE

Supports for wall installation are built into the back of the Soundbar.

CAUTION

• Press the Soundbar down with sufficient force to fix it to the wall. If the Soundbar is not firmly fixed to the wall, it could be accidentally detached, resulting in personal injury.
• Do not bump into or strike the Soundbar (especially from the bottom). The impact could detach the Soundbar from the wall, resulting in personal injury.

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.

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 at (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. Disconnect the power cord, reconnect it, and then turn on the Soundbar.
6. Turn on the Soundbar and select mode to USB. Within 3 minutes, 4 white LEDs on and update begins.

7. When the update finishes, the Soundbar turns off. Press the button on the remote control for 5 seconds. All LEDs blink 2 times and then the Soundbar turns off. The update is complete.

8. If the firmware fails to update, you can update the firmware again.

9. Restore your settings on the Soundbar.

When update fails

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. The main unit will turn off automatically after completing the firmware update.
• After the update is completed, the user setup in the Soundbar is initialized 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.
