Setup

Follow these steps to set up your Samsung HW-QS700F Soundbar for optimal audio performance.

1. Placement: Position the soundbar centrally below your TV. Place the wireless subwoofer in a suitable location within the room, ideally near the soundbar, ensuring it has access to a power outlet.
2. Power Connection: Connect the power cables to the soundbar and the subwoofer, then plug them into a wall outlet. The subwoofer will automatically connect wirelessly to the soundbar.
3. Connecting to TV:
   • HDMI (Recommended): Connect an HDMI cable from the HDMI OUT (TV-ARC/eARC) port on the soundbar to the HDMI IN (ARC/eARC) port on your TV. This allows for high-quality audio transmission and control.
   • Optical: If your TV does not support HDMI ARC/eARC, connect an optical cable from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT port on your TV to the DIGITAL AUDIO IN (OPTICAL) port on the soundbar.
   • Bluetooth: For wireless connection, enable Bluetooth on your TV and the soundbar, then pair them. Refer to your TV's manual for specific Bluetooth pairing instructions.
4. Initial Setup: Turn on the soundbar and your TV. Select the correct audio output on your TV (e.g., HDMI ARC, Optical, or Bluetooth). The soundbar will automatically detect the audio source.
5. SpaceFit Sound Pro: If your TV supports it, enable SpaceFit Sound Pro for automatic sound calibration tailored to your room's acoustics.
6. Q-Symphony: If you have a compatible Samsung TV, enable Q-Symphony to synchronize the TV speakers with the soundbar for an enhanced surround sound experience.
