FEATURES

TV SoundConnect

TV SoundConnect lets you listen to audio from your TV on your Soundbar via a Bluetooth connection and lets you control the sound.

HDMI

HDMI transmits video and audio signals simultaneously, and provides a clearer picture. The unit is also equipped with the ARC function which lets you listen to sound from your TV through the Soundbar via an HDMI cable. This function is only available if you connect the unit to an ARC compliant TV.

3D SOUND

The 3D SOUND feature adds depth and spaciousness to your listening experience.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

WARNING : To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture. CAUTION : TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.

• This apparatus shall always be connected to a AC outlet with a protective grounding connection.

• To disconnect the apparatus from the mains, the plug must be pulled out from the mains socket, therefore the mains plug shall be readily operable.

CAUTION

• Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing. Do not put objects filled with liquids, such as vases on the apparatus.

• To turn this apparatus off completely, you must pull the power plug out of the wall socket. Consequently, the power plug must be easily and readily accessible at all times.

Wiring the Main Power Supply Plug (UK Only) IMPORTANT NOTICE

The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug and if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same rating must be used. Never use the plug with the fuse cover removed. If the cover is detachable and a replacement is required, it must be of the same colour as the fuse fitted in the plug. Replacement covers are available from your dealer. If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance. However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do not connect the plug to a mains socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord. Never attempt to insert bare wires directly into a mains socket. A plug and fuse must be used at all times.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:– BLUE = NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE As these colours may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:– The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.

INSTALLING THE WALL MOUNT

You can use the wall mount bracket to mount this unit on a wall.

+ Installation Precautions

● Install on a vertical wall only.

● For the installation, avoid a location with high temperature or humidity, or a wall that cannot sustain the weight of the set.

● Check the strength of the wall. If the wall is not strong enough to support the unit, reinforce the wall or install the unit on a different wall that can support the unit's weight.

● 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 will mount the Soundbar on.

- Diameter : M5

- Length: L 35 mm or longer recommended

● Connect cables from the unit to external devices before you install it on the wall.

● Make sure the unit is turned off and unplugged before you install it. Otherwise, it may cause an electric shock.

1. Place the installation guide against the wall surface.

• The installation guide must be level.

• Install at least 5 cm below the TV, if the TV is mounted on the

wall.

2. Mark the location where the screws will go through on the wall using a pen, and then remove the installation guide.

3. Fasten the wall mounts and screws to the marked locations.

• The left and right mounts are different shapes.

4. Secure the two holder screws to the screw holes on the back of the Soundbar's main body, one on the left and one on the right.

5. Insert the USB cable into the back of the Soundbar before installing it on the wall.

6. Set the holder screws on the back of the Soundbar into the grooves of the wall mount. For safe installation, make sure to push the holder screws all the way to the bottom of the grooves.

CONNECTIONS

● 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 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.

● If the main unit doesn't make a wireless connection, follow steps 1-5 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.

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.

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 center to receive more information about downloading updates files.

● 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.

● After reset, all settings are reset to their factory default settings. We recommend you write down your settings so that you can easily reset them after the update. Note that updating firmware resets subwoofer connection too. If connection to the subwoofer is not established automatically after resetting, refer to page 13. If the firmware fails to update, we recommend formatting the USB device in FAT16 and trying again.
