Sorry, there was a problem.

Now you can use your TV remote to adjust volume and mute the soundbar. The soundbar should also turn on and off with the TV. By default, Samsung TV remotes should be able to control Samsung soundbars. If it isn't working, be sure the soundbar is powered on, and then press and hold the WOOFER button up until "ON - TV REMOTE" appears on the display (about 5 seconds). Next, you'll need to choose optical. You can refer to this article for further details: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00049279/ ~ Samsung Solutions
