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.

INSTALLING THE WALL MOUNT

Installation Precautions

  • Install on a vertical wall only.
  • Do not install in a place with high temperature or humidity.
  • Verify whether the wall is strong enough to support the product’s weight. If not, reinforce the wall or choose another installation point.
  • 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 want to mount the Soundbar on.
    • Diameter: M5
    • Length: 35 mm or longer recommended.
  • Connect cables from the unit to external devices before you install the Soundbar on the wall.
  • Make sure the unit is turned off and unplugged before you install it. Otherwise, it may cause an electric shock.

Wallmount Components

1. Place the Wall Mount Guide against the wall surface.

  • The Wall Mount Guide must be level.
  • If your TV is mounted on the wall, install the Soundbar at least 5 cm below the TV.

2. Align the Paper Template’s Center Line with the center of your TV (if you are mounting the Soundbar below your TV), and then fix the Wall Mount Guide to the wall using tape.

  • If you are not mounting below a TV, place the Center Line in the center of the installation area.

3. Push a pen tip or sharpened pencil tip through the center of the B-TYPE images on each end of the Guide to mark the holes for the supporting screws, and then remove the Wall Mount Guide.

4. Using an appropriately sized drill bit, drill a hole in the wall at each marking.

  • If the markings do not correspond to the positions of studs, make sure you insert appropriate anchors or mollies into the holes before you insert the support screws. If you use anchors or mollies, make sure the holes you drill are large enough for the anchors or mollies you use.

5. Push a screw (not supplied) through each Holder-Screw, and then screw each screw firmly into a support screw hole.

6. Use the two Screws (M4 x L12) to attach both Bracket-Wall Mount L and R to the Soundbar’s bottom. For a proper fit, make sure to align the bumps on the Soundbar to the holes on the brackets.

  • When assembling, make sure the hanger part of the Bracket-Wall Mounts are located behind the rear of the Soundbar.

  • The left and right mounts are different shapes. Make sure to position them correctly

7. Install the Soundbar with the attached Bracket-Wall Mounts by hanging the Bracket-Wall Mounts on the Holder-Screws on the wall.

  • Slightly tilt the Soundbar to insert both Holder-Screw heads into Bracket-Wall Mount holes. Push the Soundbar in the direction of the arrow to make sure both sides are firmly fixed.

Detaching the Soundbar from the Wall

1. To separate the Soundbar from the wall mount, push it in the direction of arrow, tilt it up slightly, and then pull it away from the wall as shown

  • Do not hang onto the installed unit and avoid striking or dropping the unit.
  • Secure the unit firmly to the wall so that it does not fall off. If the unit falls off, it may cause an injury or damage the product
  • When the unit is installed on a wall, please make sure that children do not pull any of the connecting cables, as this may cause it to fall.
  • For the optimal performance of a wall mount installation, install the speaker system at least 5 cm below the TV, if the TV is mounted on the wall.
  • For your safety, if you do not mount the unit on the wall, install it on a secure, flat surface where it is unlikely to fall.

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.
  • For more information about how to download update files, go to the Samsung Electronics website at (www.samsung.com → Support). Then, enter or select the model of your Soundbar, select Software & Apps, and then Downloads. The option name can vary.

Update Procedure

  1. Connect a Micro USB to USB adapter cable with a male USB 2.0 Micro USB plug (Type B) on one end and a standard female 2.0 USB jack (Type A) on the other end to the micro USB jack on your Soundbar.
    • The Micro USB to USB adapter cable is sold separately. To purchase, contact a Samsung Service Center or Samsung Customer Care.
  2. Follow the steps below to download the product software: Go to the Samsung website at (samsung.com) → search for the model name - select the customer support option (the option name is subject to change)
  3. Save the downloaded software to a USB stick and select “Extract Here” to unzip the folder.
  4. Turn off the Soundbar and connect the USB stick containing the software update to the female port on a Micro USB adapter cable. Connect the cable to the USB port on the Soundbar.
  5. Turn on the Soundbar. Within 3 minutes, “UPDATE” is displayed and updating begins.
  6. When the update finishes, the Soundbar turns off. Press the button on the remote control for 5 seconds. “INIT” appears on the display and then the Soundbar turns off. The update is complete.
    • This product has a DUAL BOOT function. If the firmware fails to update, you can update the firmware again.

If UPDATE is not displayed

  1. Turn off the Soundbar, disconnect and then reconnect the USB storage device that contains the update files to the Soundbar’s USB port.
  2. Disconnect the Soundbar’s power cord, reconnect it, and then turn on the Soundbar.
    • 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 update is completed, the user setup in Soundbar is initialized. 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 6. If the software update fails, check if the USB stick is defective.
    • Mac OS users should use MS-DOS (FAT) as the USB format.
    • Updating via USB may not be available, depending on the USB storage device manufacturer.
