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.

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.

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 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.
