the Soundbar.

 - If several Bluetooth devices are 

simultaneously paired with the Soundbar.

 

- If the Bluetooth device is turned off, 

not in place, or malfunctions.

 

- Note that such devices as microwave 

ovens, wireless LAN adaptors, 
fluorescent lights, and gas stoves use 
the same frequency range as the 
Bluetooth device, which can cause 
electric interference.

 

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.

 

Once paired, if the Soundbar is in D.IN, 
AUX, or USB mode, selecting "[

Samsung] 

Soundbar J-Series

" from the list on your 

Bluetooth device will automatically change 
the Soundbar's mode to BT.
