FUNCTIONS

Software Update

USB (5V 0.5A)

Samsung may offer updates for the Soundbar's system firmware in the future.

If an update is offered, you can update the firmware by connecting a USB device with the firmware update stored on it to the USB port on your Soundbar.

Note that if there are multiple update files, you must load them onto the USB device singly and use them to update the firmware one file at a time.

Please visit samsung.com or contact the Samsung call center to receive more information about downloading update files.

This product has a DUAL BOOT function. If the firmware fails to update, you can update the firmware again.

Insert a USB device containing the firmware update into the USB port on the main unit.

Updating firmware may not work properly if audio files supported by the Soundbar are stored in the USB storage device.

Do not disconnect the power or remove the USB device while updates are being applied. The main unit will turn off automatically after completing the firmware update.

After the update, all settings are reset to their factory default settings. We recommend you write down your settings so that you can easily reset them after the update. Note that updating firmware resets the subwoofer connection too.

If the connection to the subwoofer is not re-established automatically after the update, refer to page 17. If the firmware fails to update, we recommend formatting the USB device in FAT16 and trying again.

Once the software update is completed, turn off the product and then press and hold the ( p ) button on the remote control for more than 5 seconds. “INIT” appears on the display and the unit is powered off. The updgrade is complete.

Do not format the USB device in the NTFS format. The Soundbar does not support the NTFS file system. ●Depending on the manufacturer, some USB devices may not be supported.
