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 Surround speaker will go into stand-by mode and the

STANDBY LED on the rear of the Wireless Receiver Module will turn red after blinking blue several times.

If you use a device that uses the same frequency (5.8GHz) as the Soundbar near the Soundbar, interference may cause some sound interruption.

The maximum transmission distance of the main units 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 Surround speaker, the system may not operate at all because the wireless signal cannot penetrate metal.

PRECAUTIONS Wireless receiving antennas are built into the Wireless Surround speaker. Keep the unit away from

water and moisture. For optimal listening performance, make sure that the area around the Wireless Surround speaker

and the Wireless Receiver Module is clear of any obstructions.

ENG - 16

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, you can control the Soundbar using the TVs 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 field 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.)

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.
