NOTES · Do not connect the power cord of this product or your TV to a wall outlet until all connections between components are complete. · Before moving or installing this product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord. · 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 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.
PRECAUTIONS · 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.
Connecting the Samsung Wireless Rear Kit to your Soundbar
Expand to true wireless surround sound by connecting the Samsung Wireless Rear Speaker Kit (SWA-9100S or SWA-9200S sold separately) to your Soundbar. For detailed information on connections, see the Samsung Wireless Rear Speaker Kit manual.

05 USING A WIRED CONNECTION TO THE TV

Hear TV sound from your Soundbar through wired or wireless connections. · When the Soundbar is connected to selected Samsung TVs, the Soundbar can be controlled 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.
Method 1. Connecting a TV using an HDMI Cable

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. · The recommended cable is High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet.

Connect to the HDMI IN (ARC) or (eARC) port of your TV.

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 Initialised so you can reset your settings. We recommend you write down your settings so that you can easily reset them after the update. Note that updating firmware resets the subwoofer connection too. If the connection to the subwoofer is not re- established automatically after the update, refer to page 16. 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.
