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 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 m, 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.

ENG - 18
CAUTION
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.
Connecting the Samsung Wireless Rear Kit to your Soundbar
Expand to true wireless surround sound by connecting the Samsung Wireless Rear Speaker Kit
(SWA-9100S or SWA-9200S sold separately) to your Soundbar.
For detailed information on connections, see the Samsung Wireless Rear Speaker Kit manual.

NOTES
When you connect the TV that supports the HDMI ARC/eARC (Audio Return Channel/Enhanced
Audio Return Channel) to the Soundbar with an HDMI cable, you can transmit the digital video and
audio data without connecting a separate optical cable.
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 or eARC.
ARC and eARC differ in bandwidth. eARC that is enhanced version of the audio return channel has

Atmos® and DTS:X.
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.)
