08 CONNECTING A MOBILE DEVICE
Method 1. Connecting via Bluetooth
When a mobile device is connected using Bluetooth, you can hear stereo sound without the hassle of cabling.
• When you connect a paired Bluetooth device with the Soundbar off, the Soundbar automatically turns on.
The initial connection
• When connecting to a new Bluetooth device, make sure the device is within 1 m distance.
1. Press the PAIR button on the Soundbar remote control to enter the "BT PAIRING" mode.
(OR) a. Press the
(Multi Function) button on the top panel and then select "BT".
"BT" changes to "BT PAIRING" in a few seconds automatically or changes to "BT READY" if there is a connect record.
b. When "BT READY" appears, press and hold the
display "BT PAIRING".
2. On your device, select "[AV] Samsung Soundbar Q950A" from the list that appears.
• When the Soundbar is connected to the Mobile device, [Mobile Device Name] → "BT" appears in the top display.
3. Play music files from the device connected via Bluetooth through the Soundbar.
• After you have connected the Soundbar to your mobile device the first time, use the "BT READY" mode to reconnect.
If the device fails to connect
• If you have an existing Soundbar (e.g., "[AV] Samsung Soundbar Q950A") in the list of speakers on the Mobile device, delete it.
• Repeat steps 1 and 2.
What is the difference between BT READY and BT PAIRING?
• BT READY : In this mode, you can reconnect any Samsung TV or mobile device that was connected before.
• BT PAIRING : In this mode, you can connect a new device to the Soundbar.
(Press the PAIR button on the Soundbar remote control or press and hold the
than 5 seconds while the Soundbar is in "BT" mode.)
Notes on Bluetooth connection
• Locate a new device within 1 m to connect via Bluetooth communication.
• If asked for a PIN code when connecting a Bluetooth device, enter <0000>.
• The Soundbar automatically turns off after 18 minutes in the Ready state.
• The Soundbar may not perform Bluetooth search or connection correctly under the following circumstances:
‒ If there is a strong electrical field around the Soundbar.
‒ If several Bluetooth devices are simultaneously paired with the Soundbar.
‒ If the Bluetooth device is turned off, not in place, or malfunctions.
• Electronic devices may cause radio interference. Devices that generate electromagnetic waves must be kept away from the Soundbar main
unit - e.g., microwaves, wireless LAN devices, etc.
• The Soundbar supports SBC data (44.1kHz, 48kHz).
• Connect only to a Bluetooth device that supports the A2DP (AV) function.
• You cannot connect the Soundbar to a Bluetooth device that supports only the HF (Hands Free) function.
• When connecting the Soundbar to a Bluetooth device, place them as close to each other as possible.
• The farther the Soundbar and Bluetooth device are from each other, the lower the sound quality will become.
The Bluetooth connection may break when the devices are out of the effective range.
• The Bluetooth connection may not function as intended in areas with poor reception.
