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.

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. 

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

6. 

Turn on the Soundbar and select mode to 

USB. Within 3 minutes, 4 white LEDs on and 

update begins.

7. 

When the update complete, the Soundbar 
turns restart. Press and hold both   and   

(Volume) 

button on the right panel for 5 

seconds.  

All LEDs blink 4 times and then the Soundbar 

turns on. The update is complete.

 

• If the firmware fails to update, you can 

update the firmware again. 

8. 

Restore your settings on the Soundbar.

When update fails

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. 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.
