How Do I Pair My Samsung Soundbar to a Subwoofer?
Samsung soundbars and subwoofers connect automatically if everything works correctly, and you follow a few simple steps. Alternatively, you can connect them manually if it doesn’t work.
It is only possible to pair your Samsung soundbar wirelessly with a Samsung subwoofer that is compatible with it. Check with Samsung to make sure your subwoofer is compatible with your soundbar if you have trouble pairing it.
If your Samsung soundbar and subwoofer are automatically connected, here is how to pair them:
- The soundbar power cord should be connected to the back of the soundbar if it is not already.
- If it hasn’t already been connected, connect the subwoofer power cord.
- The soundbar and subwoofer power cords should be plugged into wall outlets or power strips.
- There will be a blinking of the blue LED LINK light on the subwoofer.
- You will need to wait for the subwoofer and soundbar to connect.
- In the case of a successful process, the blue LED LINK light on the subwoofer will stop blinking and will continue to glow blue.
Whenever the LED blinks continuously, the process has failed. If you need to connect manually, you can unplug both the soundbar and subwoofer from power, plug them back in, and try again.
Pairing Samsung Wireless Soundbars and Subwoofers Manually
Wireless Samsung subwoofers and soundbars can be manually paired if you are having trouble connecting them.
To complete this process, you will need the remote for your soundbar. In the event you cannot find your remote, install the Samsung soundbar app on your phone, pair it with your soundbar, and use it instead.
The following steps will guide you through pairing your soundbar with your subwoofer manually:
- Plug the power cords for the soundbar and subwoofer into wall outlets or a power strip.
- Ensure that the soundbar is turned off.
- On the back of your subwoofer, hold the ID SET button for a few seconds.
- You can use a paperclip to push recessed buttons.
- Once the STANDBY light goes out and the blue LINK light begins to flash rapidly, continue pressing the ID SET button.
- On your remote, hold the Up button while the soundbar is still off.
- Mute might need to be pushed and held instead on some soundbars.
- Watch the subwoofer display for ID SET.
9. Blue LED blinks to confirm the connection
You should see a rapid blue LED blinking when you hold the ID Set button. Once the soundbar is connected, turn it on. It indicates that the subwoofer and soundbar have been connected once the blue LED has remained steady.
