+ 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.

JU6610 - 48 inch and 55 inch, 2015 Samsung curved TVs. Please visit the home page of Samsung Electronics (www.Samsung.com) to see a detailed list of the compatible models.

● This Soundbar cannot be installed to a non-compatible TV, in either form of TV mount or TV stand.

1. Align the Soundbar’s centre with the centre of the base of the TV, and then carefully push it onto the stand as far

as it will go, as shown in the illustration. Be careful not to unbalance the TV.

INSTALLING SOUNDBAR TO FREE-STANDING

1. Centre the Soundbar on the flat area in front of the TV.

● Install it on a level and firm surface.

CONNECTIONS

● Do not connect the power cord of this product or your TV to a wall outlet until all connections between

CONNECTING THE SUBWOOFER

CONNECTING TO THE SUBWOOFER AUTOMATICALLY

The main unit and subwoofer should link (connect wirelessly) automatically when the main unit and subwoofer are turned on.

• If it is completely connected, the blue LED in the subwoofer stops blinking.

CONNECTING TO THE SUBWOOFER MANUALLY

The Subwoofer's linking ID is preset at the factory and the main unit and subwoofer should link (connect wirelessly) automatically when the main unit and subwoofer are turned on. If the Link indicator does not light when the main unit and subwoofer are turned on, please set the ID by following the procedure below.

POWER

ENG

1. Plug the power cords of the main unit and subwoofer into an AC wall outlet.

2. Press the ID SET button on the back of the subwoofer with a small, pointed object for 5 seconds.

• The STANDBY indicator is turned off and the LINK indicator (Blue LED) blinks quickly.

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 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.

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.

● 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 the update, 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 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.

● Once the software update is completed, turn off the product and then press and hold the ( the remote control for more than 5 seconds. “INIT” appears on the display and the unit is powered off. The upgrade is complete.

● Do not format the USB device in the NTFS format. The Soundbar does not support the NTFS file system.

● Depending on the manufacturer, some USB devices may not be supported.
