If your sound bar requires a specific pairing process (e.g., for Bluetooth connectivity or advanced features), refer to your Samsung Sound Bar's original user manual. The 'PAIR' button on this remote is typically used for initiating a Bluetooth pairing sequence if supported by your sound bar model.
