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.

– This feature is supported by 2017 and later Samsung Smart TVs that support Bluetooth when

you connect the Soundbar to the TV using an optical cable.

– This function also allows you to use the TV menu to adjust the sound eld and various settings

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.)
