NOTES
•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 in 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 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.
CAUTION
•Wireless receiving antennas are built into the wireless subwoofer and Surround Speakers. Keep the
unit away from water and moisture.
•For optimal listening performance, make sure that the area around the wireless subwoofer and the
Surround Speakers are clear of any obstructions.

05 USING A WIRED CONNECTION TO THE TV
Method 1. Connecting with HDMI
CAUTION
•When both the HDMI cable and optical cable are connected, the HDMI signal is received rst.
•To connect the HDMI cable between the TV and Soundbar, be sure to connect the terminals
marked ARC. Otherwise, the TV sound may not be output.
•Be sure to use the cable with the premium HDMI certication logo. In addition, make sure that
the cable is a certied Type A, high-speed HDMI Ethernet cable. (HIGH SPEED HDMI CABLE

ENG - 20
•When connecting a Samsung TV that supports the eARC function, “eARC” appears on the
display and the sound is heard.
•If “TV ARC” does not appear in the display window of the Soundbar main unit, conrm that the
HDMI cable is connected to the correct port.
•Use the volume buttons on the TV’s remote control to change the volume on the Soundbar.
NOTES
•When you connect the TV that supports the HDMI ARC (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.
•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.)
Method 2. Connecting using an Optical Cable
Pre-connection Checklist
•When both the HDMI cable and optical cable are connected, the HDMI signal is received rst.
