• This apparatus shall always be connected to a
AC outlet with a protective grounding
connection.
• To disconnect the apparatus from the mains,
the plug must be pulled out from the mains

Wiring the Main Power Supply
Plug (UK Only)
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with
a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of
the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug
and if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to
BS1362 of the same rating must be used.
Never use the plug with the fuse cover removed.
If the cover is detachable and a replacement is
required, it must be of the same colour as the fuse
tted in the plug. Replacement covers are
available from your dealer. If the tted plug is not
suitable for the power points in your house or the
cable is not long enough to reach a power point,
you should obtain a suitable safety approved
extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance.
ENG - iii
However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the
plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of
the plug. Do not connect the plug to a mains
socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the
bared exible cord. Never attempt to insert bare
wires directly into a mains socket. A plug and fuse
must be used at all times.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:– BLUE =
NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE As these colours may not
correspond to the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:– The
wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the
terminal marked with the letter N or coloured
BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must
be connected to the terminal marked with the
letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.
WARNING : DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO
THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH
THE LETTER E OR BY THE EARTH SYMBOL
,
OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN AND YELLOW.

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 subwoofer will go into stand-by mode and the
STANDBY LED on the rear of the sub-woofer 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 unit’s wireless signal 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.
PRECAUTIONS
• Wireless receiving antennas are 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 and the
Wireless Receiver Module (sold separately) is clear of any obstructions.

• We recommend you use a coreless HDMI cable if possible. If you use a cored HDMI cable, use one
whose diameter is less than 14 mm.
• This function is not available if the HDMI cable does not support ARC
• 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 ofce 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.
ENG - 22
Bluetooth Multi connection
The Soundbar can be connected to 2 Bluetooth devices at the same time.
Bluetooth device A Bluetooth device B
1. Connect the Soundbar to up to two Bluetooth devices. (See page 19)
2. Play music from one of the connected Bluetooth devices while two devices are connected.
3. If music is played from the Bluetooth device “B” while playing from the device “A”, the music is
started playing on the device “B” and automatically being stopped/paused playback on the device
“A”.
4. In versions prior to AVRCP V1.4, the switching time of the device playing music may be delayed.
Bluetooth Multi Pairing

2. Only in “BT” mode, press and hold the (Source) button on the top of the Soundbar for more
than 5 seconds for the Soundbar to go into “BT PAIRING” mode, then on the Bluetooth device side,
switch Bluetooth on, and select the Soundbar from the list of available devices, the Soundbar will
automatically connect to the Bluetooth device.
3. A 2nd Bluetooth device can be paired and connected to the Soundbar using the same method.
If you attempt to connect a 3rd device, a connected device that is not playing audio will lose its
Bluetooth connection, but will still be paired with the Soundbar.
4. Using the same method, you can pair up to 8 Bluetooth devices, but only the last 2 will stay
connected to the Soundbar at the same time.
NOTES
• Only 1 Samsung TV, or 2 Bluetooth devices can be connected to the Soundbar at one time.
• The Soundbar will be disconnected from Bluetooth devices when it receives a connection request

09 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 xing screws or
anchors appropriate for the kind of wall you
have (plaster board, iron board, wood, etc.). If
possible, x 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 from the power source before you
install it. Otherwise, it may cause an electric
shock.

positions of studs, make sure you insert
appropriate anchors into the holes before
you insert the support screws. If you use
anchors, make sure the holes you drill are
large enough for the anchors you use.
5. Push a screw (not supplied) through each
Holder-Screw, and then screw each screw
rmly into a support screw hole.
