Installing the Soundbar

Installing the Wall Mount
Installation Precautions

  • Install on a vertical wall only.
  • For the installation, avoid a location with high temperature or humidity, or a wall that cannot sustain the weight of the set.
  • Check the strength of the wall. If the wall is not strong enough to support the unit, reinforce the wall or install the unit on a different wall that can support the unit’s weight.
  • Purchase and use the fixing screws or anchors appropriate for the kind of wall you have (plaster board, iron board, wood, etc.). If possible, fix the support screws into wall studs.
  • Purchase wall mounting screws according to the type and thickness of the wall you will mount the Soundbar on.
    • Diameter: M5
    • Length: 1 3/8 inches or longer recommended.
  • Connect cables from the unit to external devices before you install it on the wall.
  • Make sure the unit is turned off and unplugged before you install it. Otherwise, it may cause an electric shock.Samsung HW-J6000 Curved 6.1 Channel 300 Watt Wireless Audio Soundbar-11
  1. Place the installation guide against the wall surface.
    • The installation guide must be level.
      • If the TV is mounted on the wall, install the Soundbar at least 2 inches (5 cm) below the TV.Samsung HW-J6000 Curved 6.1 Channel 300 Watt Wireless Audio Soundbar-12
  2. Mark the location where the screws will go through on the wall, and then remove the installation guide.
    Next, drill holes for the screws using an appropriately sized drill bit.Samsung HW-J6000 Curved 6.1 Channel 300 Watt Wireless Audio Soundbar-13
  3. Fasten the 2 Bracket-Wall pieces firmly to the wall at the marked locations using the appropriate screws.Samsung HW-J6000 Curved 6.1 Channel 300 Watt Wireless Audio Soundbar-14

More About Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a technology that enables Bluetooth-compliant devices to interconnect easily with each other using a short wireless connection.

  • A Bluetooth device may cause noise or malfunction, depending on usage, if:
    •  A part of your body is in contact with the receiving/transmitting system of the Bluetooth device or the Soundbar.
    • It is subject to electrical variation from obstructions caused by a wall, corner, or office partition.
    • It is exposed to electrical interference from same frequency-band devices including medical equipment, microwave ovens, and wireless LANs.
  • Pair the Soundbar with the Bluetooth device while they are close together.
  • The further the distance between the Soundbar and Bluetooth device, the worse the quality is.
    If the distance exceeds the Bluetooth operational range, the connection is lost.
  • In poor reception areas, the Bluetooth connection may not work properly.

Software UpdateSamsung HW-J6000 Curved 6.1 Channel 300 Watt Wireless Audio Soundbar-40

Samsung may offer updates for the Soundbar’s system firmware in the future.
If an update is offered, you can update the firmware by connecting a USB device with the firmware update stored on it to the USB port on your Soundbar.
Note that if there are multiple update files, you must load them onto the USB device singly and use them to update the firmware one file at a time.
Please visit samsung.com or contact the Samsung call center to receive more information about downloading updated files.

  • Insert a USB device containing the firmware update into the USB port on the main unit.
  • Updating firmware may not work properly if audio files supported by the Soundbar are stored in the USB storage device.
  • Do not disconnect the power or remove the USB device while updates are being applied. The main unit will turn off automatically after completing the firmware update.
  • After the update, all settings are reset to their factory default settings. We recommend you write down your settings so that you can easily reset them after the update. Note that updating firmware resets the subwoofer connection too.
    If the connection to the subwoofer is not re-established automatically after the update, refer to page15.
    If the firmware fails to update, we recommend formatting the USB device in FAT16 and trying again.
  • Once the software update is completed, turn off the product and then press and hold the ( p ) button on the remote control for more than 5 seconds. “INIT” appears on the display and the unit is powered off. The upgrade is complete.
  • Do not format the USB device in the NTFS format. The Soundbar does not support the NTFS file system.
  • Depending on the manufacturer, some USB devices may not be supported.

FAQS

Is this sound bar wall mountable

Yes, wall mount brackets and hardware is included in the box.

Curved sound bar vs regular? I’m purchasing the 65 in curved tv. ? Or does curved sound bar looK
better with cur

The curved sound bar is made to fit curved like the tv. I have it the look and sound is awesome!!!! I got it
refurbished for 250.00 you’d never know.

Will this fit the KU6500 Samsung 55 inch curved tv?

It would maybe work but even so it would be too wide for such a small TV Our TV is 65 inches which it fits perfectly with. So imo the answer is maybe. You need to call samsung and ask them your question if the appearance doesnt matter to you

What’s the difference between the j6000 and the j6500 sound bar? Also will these fit well with the
Samsung 55 curved tv?

i use my blue tooth wirless headphones, no problem

Will this fit my 55″ curved Tv

The difference is that the 6500 is for multiple rooms…. I have the 6000 on. 55″ curved and fits on the stand
below just fine

Can I connect a pair of Bose wired speaks to this soundbar?

Yes I have it on a Samsung 55 inch curved tv.it won’t mount directly to the tv but to the wall. I did make a bracket so I could mount the bar to the tv so I wouldn’t have to drill the wall.

Is this able to take the place of the curved bar section of the tv stand? Like in the Pic with a 2015 curve tv

No. This soundbar is designed to work with the subwoofer only.

How does this work if you don’t have a curved tv? will i get vibration issues ’cause it’s not sitting flat?

It sits right on the curve of is the stand

Can this actually be used as a stand for compatible curved tvs (as shown in the product pictures)? can you mount the tv directly to the sound bar?

No you won’t get any vibration issues whatsoever even if you don’t have a curved TV plus most of the “vibrating causing ” sounds will come from your subwoofer which can be connected anywhere since it does come with a wireless feature.
