Notes:
- To use eARC, you will need to activate the eARC function on your TV. Navigate to Settings > All Settings > Sound > Expert Settings > HDMI-eARC > Auto.
- ARC/eARC may not operate because of external device problems. To fix this, disconnect the external device from the TV, then power off the TV and soundbar, and then power both devices back on. Then, check if the sound outputs normally.
- If the HDMI cable is defective, please replace the cable.
When the TV is connected to the soundbar (Bluetooth)
1
Confirm the correct sound output has been selected on TV. Navigate to Settings > All Settings > Sound > Sound Output > Bluetooth Speaker List > select soundbar on the TV’s Bluetooth device list.

If this does not work, you can try unpairing and then re-pairing the soundbar from the TV. To unpair the soundbar, press the Source button on the soundbar’s remote, and then select a mode other than BT.
Note:
If you don’t have a soundbar remote, you can press the Multi Function or Source button on the soundbar, and then select a mode other than BT.
3
Next, re-pair the soundbar by pressing the PAIR button for 5 secs. The display will show BT PAIRING when its source is set to Bluetooth.

When the TV is connected to the soundbar (Wi-Fi)
Note: The TV and soundbar must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
1
If there is no sound from your soundbar when it’s connected to Wi-Fi, you should first ensure that your wireless router is turned on and has a strong signal.
2
Turn off the router and turn it back on. Then, check if your soundbar connects to your Wi-Fi network. If not, please proceed with the next step.
3
Try moving the router closer to the soundbar while also removing obstacles between the router and soundbar, if necessary.

If you need to reconnect your soundbar to your Wi-Fi network, you will need to use the SmartThings app on your phone.

Open SmartThings app, you may see a pop-up notification, prompting you to add your soundbar.
6
If this pop-up does not appear, tap the Devices > Add icon (the plus sign) > Add device > Scan under scan for nearby devices. Follow the on-screen instructions to add soundbar to the app.
