04 CONNECTING TO YOUR 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 eld and various settings

as well as the volume and mute.

Method 1. Connecting with a Cable

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.)

• Then repeat steps 1 through 3.

Disconnecting the Soundbar from the TV

Press the (Source) button on the right side panel or on the remote control and switch to any mode but “BT”.

• To cancel the automatic Bluetooth connection between the Soundbar and TV, press the p (Play/Pause) button on the remote control for 5 seconds with the Soundbar in “BT READY” status.

(Toggle On → Off)

What is the difference between BT READY and BT PAIRING?

• BT READY : In this mode, you can search for previously connected TVs or connect a previously connected mobile device to the Soundbar.

• BT PAIRING : In this mode, you can connect a new device to the Soundbar. (Press the PAIR button on the remote control or press and hold the (Source) button on the right side of the Soundbar for more than 5 seconds while the Soundbar is in “BT” mode.)

NOTES

• If asked for a PIN code when connecting a Bluetooth device, enter <0000>.

• In Bluetooth connection mode, the Bluetooth connection will be lost if the distance between the Soundbar and the Bluetooth device exceeds 10 meters.

• The Soundbar automatically turns off after 20 minutes in the Ready state.

• The Soundbar may not perform Bluetooth search or connection correctly under the following circumstances:

– If there is a strong electrical eld around the Soundbar. – If several Bluetooth devices are simultaneously paired with the Soundbar. – If the Bluetooth device is turned off, not in place, or malfunctions.

• Electronic devices may cause radio interference. Devices that generate electromagnetic waves must be kept away from the Soundbar main unit - e.g., microwaves, wireless LAN devices, etc.
