● Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.
● If the main unit is powered off, the wireless subwoofer will be in standby mode and the STANDBY LED on
the upper side will come on after the Link indicator (Blue LED) blinks for 30 seconds.
● If you use a device that uses the same frequency (2.4GHz) as the Soundbar near the Soundbar,
interference may cause some sound interruption.
● The transmission distance of the wireless signal between the main unit and subwoofer 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.
● If the main unit doesn't make a wireless connection, follow steps 1-5 on the previous page to re-set the
connection between the main unit and wireless subwoofer.
● The wireless receiving antenna is 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 location is clear
of any obstructions.

+ 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, when:
- 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.

UPDATING WITH USB
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.
Note that if there are multiple update files, you must load them onto the USB device singly and use them to update the
firmware one file at a time.
Please visit samsung.com or contact the Samsung call centre to receive more information about downloading updates
files.
1. While the Soundbar is turned off, connect the USB storage device that contains the updating firmware to the
Soundbar’s USB port.
2. Turn on the Soundbar UPDATE appears on the display and updating begins within 3 minutes.
•
Upon completion of updating, the Soundbar turns off and on automatically.
+ If UPDATE was not displayed
1. Turn off the Soundbar, connect the USB storage device that contains update files to the Soundbar’s USB port.
2. Disconnect the power cord, reconnect it and turn it on.
● Insert a USB device containing the firmware update into the USB port on the main unit.
● Updating firmware 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.

settings so that you can easily reset them after the update. Note that updating firmware resets the
subwoofer connection too.
If connection to the subwoofer is not re-established automatically after the update, refer to page 15.
If the firmware fails to update, we recommend formatting the USB device in FAT16 and trying again.
● Depending on the manufacturer, some USB devices may not be supported.
AUTO UPDATE
Even when the Soundbar is turned off, the Soundbar will automatically check latest software version and continue to
update if it was connected to the Internet.
