INSTALLING THE WALL MOUNT
+ 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: 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.

+ 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, if:
- 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
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 update
files.
+ Updating Procedure
1. While the Soundbar is turned off, connect the USB storage device that contains the updating firmware to the
Soundbar’s USB port.
2. Disconnect the power cord, reconnect it, and then turn on the Soundbar.
3. Turn on the Soundbar. UPDATE appears on the display and updating begins within 3 minutes.
• When the update is complete, 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 then turn on the Soundbar.
● 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.
28
FUNCTIONS
● 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 the connection to the subwoofer is not re-established automatically after the update, refer to page 17.
If the firmware fails to update, we recommend formatting the USB device in FAT16 and trying again.
● 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.
AUTO UPDATE
If the Soundbar is connected to the Internet, it will automatically check for the latest firmware and update when new
firmware becomes available, even if it is turned off.
● The Soundbar is configured to run Auto Update by default.
● To use the Auto Update function, the Soundbar must be connected to the Internet.
● The Wi-Fi connection to the Soundbar will be terminated if its power cord is disconnected or the power is
cut off. If the power is cut off, turn on the Soundbar and reconnect it.
