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 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 32.8 ft (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.
**CAUTION**
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.

USING A WIRED CONNECTION TO THE TV

Method 1. Connecting with HDMI
Connecting the TV that supports HDMI ARC/eARC (Audio Return Channel/ Enhanced Audio Return Channel)
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 or eARC. Otherwise, the TV sound may not be output.
The recommended cable is High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet.
When connecting a TV that supports the eARC function, “TV eARC” appears on the display and the sound is heard.
Dolby Atmos® is supported in the ARC/eARC function.
TV port can be marked eARC depending on the TV.

SAMSUNG HW-Q6CB 3.1 CH Soundbar - USING A WIRED CONNECTION TO THE
TV

With the Soundbar and TV turned on, connect the HDMI cable as shown in the figure.
“TV ARC” or “TV eARC” appears in the display window of the Soundbar main unit and the Soundbar plays TV sound.
• “TV eARC” is displayed when the eARC function in the TV setting is On.
• To connect with eARC, the eARC function in the TV menu should be set to On. Refer to the TV user manual for details on setting. (e.g. Samsung TV : Home ( ****) → Menu → Settings ( ) → All Settings ( ) → Sound → Expert Settings → HDMI-eARC Mode (Auto))
• If TV sound is inaudible, press the (Source) button on the remote control or on the top of the Soundbar to switch to “D.IN” mode. The screen displays “D.IN” and “TV ARC” or “TV eARC” in sequence, and TV sound is played.
• If “TV ARC” or “TV eARC” does not appear in the display window of the Soundbar main unit, confirm that the HDMI cable is connected to the correct port.
• Use the volume buttons on the TV’s remote control to change the volume on the Soundbar.

NOTES

When you connect the TV that supports the HDMI ARC/eARC (Audio Return Channel/Enhanced Audio Return Channel) to the Soundbar with an HDMI cable, you can transmit the digital video and audio data without connecting a separate optical cable.
We recommend you use a coreless HDMI cable if possible. If you use a cored HDMI cable, use one whose diameter is less than 0.55 inches (14 mm).
This function is not available if the HDMI cable does not support ARC or eARC.
ARC and eARC differ in bandwidth. eARC that is enhanced version of the audio return channel has significantly higher bandwidth than ARC. Higher bandwidth increases the amount of data that can be transmitted. So, with the eARC channel, you can enjoy the sound through formats such as Dolby Atmos®.
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.)
