    Can you add additional speakers to Samsung Soundbar?
    micah_breitenberg
    over 1 year ago
    Adding a Samsung Wireless Rear Speaker Kit to your soundbar helps to surround you in sound. If your soundbar supports 5.1 surround sound or better, like Dolby Digital, DTS, or even the superior Dolby Atmos, the Rear Speaker Kit will help you achieve it.

    To connect two soundbars together, plug one end of the cable into the first soundbar's output and plug the other end into the second soundbar's input jack. Then, turn on the systems and adjust the settings.

    Connect the power cords for the soundbar and the subwoofer to the back of each, and then plug both into a wall outlet. Turn the Soundbar on, and the subwoofer should begin to connect automatically.

    Why does my Samsung soundbar keep cutting out?
    dorla.cassin
    over 1 year ago
    If your soundbar sound drops out, or is not making sound while watching the TV source, there is an easy way to resolve the issue. Generally if you change the channel on your TV or Set Top Box the sound should come back, but to permanently fix the issue you can update the firmware on your soundbar.

    Can you connect 2 subwoofers to a Samsung soundbar?
    joaquin_lehner
    over 1 year ago
    1 Solution. @usertaoI5Sn8XL You cannot, the sound bar pairs with a single subwoofer. @JVision65 You cannot, the audio signal is sent to the sound bar which then sends it to the subwoofer. Good question, but do you know if I can connect just my Subwoofer to my TV w/o the soundbar?
