Q: QuestionCan I connect these fully wireless? Or do they need to be connected via optical or HDMI?(2 answers)
A: AnswerHello JaredSATX, The HW-A40 Soundbar has the ability to connect using Digital Optical or Bluetooth. We do recommend using Digital Optical as this will offer the best audio and user experience available. ~Samsung SolutionsAnswered by Samsung

Q: QuestionWill this work with a lg smart TV?(3 answers)
A: AnswerThey say you can mix and match name brands, but for the best quality you want to keep LG tv’s with LG soundbars and the same with Samsung because they just sync better with their own brands.Answered by HappyMom
- A: AnswerHi Virginny, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues getting the link to work correctly. Earlier today I was experiencing issues with samsung.com myself, but now everything seems to be working fine. The link https://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/?model=N0054850 is the place to for the full manual and all firmware updates. If you need extra assistance with updating your soundbar, please contact Samsung Customer Service. The two best options for contacting Customer Service are 1) 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8 AM - 12 AM EST, 7 days a week. Ask for "Soundbars." 2) LiveChat with an agent by clicking the ‘Support’ link on the Samsung website homepage. ^Andrew
