How to connect Bluetooth devices to your Samsung TV

Last Update date : 2024-01-11

Some Samsung TVs include Bluetooth capabilities, allowing them to connect wirelessly to speakers, headphones, hearing aids, and other devices. Connect a Bluetooth soundbar to your TV to maximize the enjoyment of your favorite movie, or connect headphones for a private viewing. You can also connect a Bluetooth keyboard or controller to make finding movies and TV series easier than ever.

You can connect Bluetooth audio devices to the TV. They must be paired using the TV's Bluetooth function.

1 Open the Settings menu on your TV
2 Navigate to Sound and Select Sound Output
3 Select Bluetooth Speaker List
4 Set your Bluetooth device to begin actively pairing,and select the device you wish to pair to the TV.
5 Select Pair and connect.

Here is how to watch your Samsung TV without broadcasting to the entire house.

1 Press the home button on your remote control
2 Select "Connection Guide" on your TV.
3 Select "Audio Device", then "Bluetooth".
4 Put your wirelees headphones in pairing mode, then Scan and Select them on your TV.
  • Search for and connect to your TV from the (Bluetooth) device list on your mobile device.
  • Select media content to play on your mobile device.

Note:

  • Some models enter Ambient Mode, Art mode, or Portrait Mode automatically, and then play the selected media contents. 
  • If the TV and the sound bar are connected wirelessly, the operation may be restricted. 

To make controlling the TV simpler, you may use Bluetooth to connect a keyboard, mouse, or gamepad.

1 Navigate to Settings.
2 From General select External Device Manager.
3 Select Input Device Manager then go to Bluetooth Device List.
4 Set your Bluetooth device to begin actively pairing. Please consult the user guide for your Bluetooth device for more information.
5 Select the device you wish to pair.

Note: 

  • If your device wasn't recognized, position the keyboard close to the TV and choose Refresh. The TV does another check for available devices.
  • If the device you wish to connect is not displayed, try selecting the Refresh option and make sure that your device is switched on and set to pair.
  • If a mouse is connected, it can only be used in the Internet app.

You can turn on both the TV speaker and Bluetooth headphones designed for the hearing impaired at the same time. The hearing impaired can then set the volume of their Bluetooth headphone higher than the volume of the TV speaker without affecting the volume of the TV speaker, allowing both the hearing impaired and their families to listen to the TV at comfortable sound levels.

1 Press the home button on your remote control
2 Navigate to settings.
3 From General Select Accessibility.
4 Select Multi-output Audio.

Note:

  • You can't use Bluetooth devices and the Wi-Fi Speaker Surround Setup feature simultaneously.
  • The TV and Bluetooth device may disconnect, depending on the distance between them.
  • The sound may frequently be interrupted when a Bluetooth speaker is used. To minimize interruptions, we recommend a wireless access point that uses a 5 GHz frequency.
  • If you're still having issues with your remote or setting it up, do not hesitate to contact us.

* This feature is only available on specific models. Please refer to your user manual for more information
