Frequently Asked Questions - HW-N860 SAMSUNG

How do I connect the Soundbar to my TV via Bluetooth?

Press the PAIR button on the remote or press and hold the Source button on the top panel for more than 5 seconds to enter BT PAIRING mode. On your TV, select Bluetooth mode and choose '[AV] Samsung Soundbar Nxxx' from the list. Once connected, TV sound will play through the Soundbar.

What should I do if the subwoofer does not connect automatically?

First, ensure both the Soundbar and subwoofer are powered on. Press and hold the ID SET button on the rear of the subwoofer for at least 5 seconds until the red LED turns off and the blue LED blinks. Then press and hold the Up button on the remote for 5 seconds. The ID SET message will appear and the subwoofer should connect with a solid blue LED.

How can I use my TV remote to control the Soundbar volume?

For Samsung TVs, set the TV audio to external speakers. For other brands, press and hold the WOOFER button up on the remote for 5 seconds to cycle through modes: SAMSUNG-TV REMOTE (default for Samsung), OFF-TV REMOTE (disable), or ALL-TV REMOTE (enable for other brands). Then select external speakers in the TV menu.

Does the Soundbar support Dolby Atmos?

Yes, Dolby Atmos is supported via HDMI connection. Connect an external device (like a Blu-ray player) to the Soundbar's HDMI IN port and the Soundbar's HDMI OUT (TV-ARC) to the TV. Ensure the external device's audio output is set to Bitstream (unprocessed) and Secondary Audio is off. The front display will show 'DOLBY ATMOS' when playing Atmos content.

How do I mount the Soundbar on the wall?

Use the included Wall Mount Guide to mark screw positions on the wall (at least 5 cm below the TV if mounted under it). Drill holes, insert anchors if needed, then attach two Holder-Screws. Attach the Bracket-Wall Mounts to the bottom of the Soundbar with the provided screws. Hang the Soundbar on the Holder-Screws and slide down to secure.

Can I connect the Soundbar to Wi-Fi for music streaming?

Yes. Press the Source button to select WIFI mode. Install the SmartThings app on your mobile device, connect to the same Wi-Fi network as your TV, and follow the app instructions to add the Soundbar. Once connected, you can stream music via Spotify Connect or other services.

What is the Auto Power Link function?

Auto Power Link automatically turns on the Soundbar when the TV is turned on, provided they are connected via an optical cable. To enable or disable it, press and hold the Left button on the remote for 5 seconds while in D.IN mode. It is enabled by default.

How do I reset the Soundbar if it malfunctions?

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and plug it back in after a few seconds. If the issue persists, try a factory reset by pressing and holding the Up button on the remote for 5 seconds (ID SET) but note this is for subwoofer pairing, not a full reset. For further assistance, contact Samsung support.

What is the difference between BT READY and BT PAIRING?

BT READY mode allows reconnection to previously paired devices. It appears automatically when no Bluetooth device is connected. BT PAIRING mode is for connecting a new device; you enter it by pressing the PAIR button on the remote or holding the Source button on the Soundbar for 5 seconds while in BT mode.

How do I update the Soundbar software?

When connected to the internet, the Soundbar updates automatically even when turned off. For manual update, connect a USB drive with the update file to the SERVICE port on the bottom panel. The update process will start automatically. Ensure the power is not interrupted during the update.

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.
