Update Procedure

Important: 

The update function erases all user 

settings. We recommend you write down your 
settings so that you can easily reset them after 

the update. Note that updating the firmware 

resets the subwoofer connection too.

1. 

Connect a USB thumb drive to the USB port 
on your computer. 

Important: 

Make sure there are no music 

files on the USB thumb drive. This may cause 
the firmware update to fail.

2. 

Go to https://www.samsung.com/us/
support/downloads/ on your computer 

 

select Enter Model Number and enter the 
model of your Soundbar. Select manuals and 
downloads and download the latest software 

file.

3. 

Save the downloaded software to a USB 
stick and select “Extract Here” to unzip the 
folder.

4. 

Turn off the Soundbar and connect the USB 
stick containing the software update to the 
USB port.

5. 

Turn on the Soundbar and change the source 
to “

USB

” mode. Within 3 minutes, “

UPGR

” is 

displayed and the update begins. When the 
update is complete, the Soundbar turns off 
and then turns on automatically.

6. 

Press the 

 (Volume)

 button on the top 

panel for 5 seconds. “

INIT

” appears on the 

display and then the Soundbar turns off.  
The update is complete.

 

This product has a DUAL BOOT function. 

If the firmware fails to update, you can 
update the firmware again. 

7. 

Restore your settings on the Soundbar.

If UPDATE is not displayed

1. 

Turn off the Soundbar, disconnect and then 
reconnect the USB storage device that 

contains the update files to the Soundbar’s 

USB port.

2. 

Disconnect the Soundbar’s power cord, 
reconnect it, and then turn on the Soundbar.

NOTES

 

• The firmware update 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 is completed, the user setup 
in the Soundbar is initialized so you can reset 
your 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 software update fails, check if the USB 
stick is defective.

 

Mac OS users should use MS-DOS (FAT) as the 
USB format.

 

Updating via USB may not be available, 
depending on the USB storage device 
manufacturer.
