How to make your Samsung soundbar turn on automatically
If you want the convenience of having your Samsung soundbar turn on automatically when it's connected to your TV, there are two simple methods to achieve this: Auto Power Link and Anynet+. By using an optical cable for Auto Power Link or an HDMI cable for Anynet+, you can enjoy a hassle-free TV-watching experience without reaching for the soundbar remote.
Note: The instructions provided are for Samsung soundbars sold in Canada. Settings and options may vary for devices sold in other countries.
To enable Anynet+ and Audio Return Channel (ARC) using an HDMI cable:
Note: Anynet+ should be turned on by default and can only be deactivated on 2019 (series R) and earlier soundbar models. Anynet+ functions exclusively via HDMI when connected using ARC.
To activate Auto Power Link with an optical cable:
Note: Ensure you remove the plastic protector caps before using the optical cable.
Note: On 2020 (series T) and later models, set the source to “BT Ready”.
Note: Auto Power Link functions exclusively with an optical connection and should be turned on by default.
