Samsung Soundbar (Reconnecting Subwoofer)
Ғылым және технология
In this video we look at the Samsung HW-KM45C Sound Bar and reconnecting the wireless subwoofer. I do not know why mine disconnected but after a year or so of working flawlessly it decided to disconnect. I fought with it a while until digging for hours and found the Users Manual. After you know the procedure it only takes about 1 minute to re-connect the subwoofer. I thought I would share this info for others out there that have the same issue and I will need this next time mine does it as well! Hope it helps!

Continue holding until STANDBY turns odd and LINK( Blue LED) blinks quickly. While the soundbar is turned off, press and hold MUTE on the remote control. Continue holding until ID SET appears on the soundbar's display. After that the unit should be connected.

Had a pretty bad day yesterday because my subwoofer refused to connect to the soundbar and since it’s in my top 3 favourite gadgets it really got to me Came across this video today because I decided not to give up The celebration alone made me forget to comment and recommend it to others So I’m back to show my appreciation Thank you very much man Nothing was working until I tried yours Almost sold it for peanuts
Works PERFECTLY. Friend just gave me a good working HW-F450 (older) maybe 2014 when I bought a new TV. Of course no instructions, just the bar, sub & remote. I knew it worked.. till we unplugged it and I brought it home. Spent 2 days fiddling with it. Than found your video and it worked in 2 seconds. Apparently the instructions you applied work with many model Samsung sandbars with wireless subs. Thank so much!
Thank you. I have spent a week trying to figure out how to reconnect after our wifi went down! Finally stumbled across this after countless others and bingo. Done in 5 mins!! Great and easy to follow demo.
Sweet, your instructions were simple concise and effective. Only took 20 other channels before I found you. 70 years old thank you
Thank you! Easy & Simple instructions to follow and my subwoofer is working again perfectly!
I watched several long drawn out videos just to have an unsuccessful turn out. I watched your less than 3 minutes video and got immediate successful results. I was just about to throw it out beings it's been over a year now. Something urged me to try one more time before doing so and your video was the first I watched.. You're SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!
So glad you posted this video. Like mine was working great for 3yrs and then it stopped. Thanks to you, I can enjoy my box again.
Thanks, dude, a hundred percent. Subwoofer goes out every once in a great while. I always forget the process to reboot. But I never stress about it because I have this video. If I could give a thousand likes I would.

Great video! Thank you very much! Watched several other videos and what they forgot to mention is that the sound bar needs to be off and nobody talked about having to hold the mute button for five seconds! “ID Set” showed on my bar and problem solved! Thanks again!
Thanks much! We couldn't find our manual and I was getting extremely frustrated with trying to figure out why the subwoofer wasn't connecting. This video helped tremendously!
As the owner of a Series 4 Samsung home theater system, this video has been very helpful to rewatch when the system sporadically needs a reset over the years. Its a big help! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the video. My subwoofer wasn’t on for weeks. Your video helped me out! Right on man.
Thanks for the help! This has been driving me crazy for hours!
Thank you very much. Spent 20 mins on the customer care line of Samsung & the lady couldn’t even tell me this. I hung up & went to KZread & this was the first video I clicked on. It was connected in less then one min!! Lol thank you!
Just tried this, after many samsung forums and some saying the device would need servicing, just tried this video’s trick out and it WORKED. Thank you!!!
Thanks man! I lost my instructions too and this helped me reconnect it!
Thank you! We were on the verge of giving our soundbar to Goodwill!

Thanks a lot. Because of u I could enjoy a late night music.
After watching this blue light blink for so long and finally just unplugging the subwoofer, today I decided to try to fix it. Watched a couple of other videos that did not work u til I found yours. Worked perfectly!! Thanks!
I just got this soundbar for Christmas and there was no sound coming from the subwoofer even though the blue light was on solid. This video helped, thank you🙂
Well made video. I’ve been messing with my subwoofer trying to fix it for months on and off. Thank you my friend mines all fixed.
Thank you so much brother, you saved me. Absolutely a great unselfish act on your part and I am grateful. God bless you
You are just a life saver.....was sooooo bothered when I got the blink.....and watching your video was relieving....thanks a lot
Mah nigga. I had so much problem connecting , followed samsung manual didnt help. It’s funny how samsung has so many products that it is so hard to get help for a specific product. Thank God you’re here for me brother. Worked and made my night

Omg thank you. I really thought that was it.
Hi all, I followed the video exactly as explained and still no luck . Blue light still blinking. I also sprayed the inserts with a can duster just in case it was dust. Any other ideas that I can do myself? Samsung support is not very helpful. Their solution is : send it for service. Which imo is not worth the repair cost. Any DIy ideas appreciated. Thanks!

I do not know of a way, I did add a link to a couple different model remotes in the description if needed, it's around $7.
You are awesome for this. Could not figure this out for nothing and now its connected. Thank you.
Worked a treat. Couldnt find much on google about it except an article which samsung said it was a fault on the pcb. Then found this and it worked. Thanks man
Easy instructions to follow. Got my sub woofer connected. Now the soundbar/tv connection is lost...ugh. Thank you for posting your instructions on the sw connection. Very helpful.
My god I usually never comment on videos but this one was the one that helped me from burning my soundbar Thank you very much
Followed step by step, you sir a a scholar and a gentleman! bought mine 11 years ago and lost instruction booklet lol
Thanks so much! I have used this video once a month for the past year or so, and it is definitely time to show my appreciation!
Thx so much! Like others, we lost our manual. This worked! The key steps are push the reset button, then to have the soundbar off, then press mute till the ID Set text comes on. 👍
Dude it worked like a charm my Soundbar is reconnected and I'm glad this was the second vid I found that actually helped. Thank you, god bless you and a Happy New Year!! 😎👍🥂✨
I literally thought the system I purchased was faulty 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you’re a lifesaver!
Finally thank you man. Also helped to re connect my rear speakers. Thank you for the help
I wasted 40 dollars on a used subwoofer.. and 1 hour. I wish i found this video a year ago. Good job brother 👏 👍
Thanks.. I've had mine for probably 10 years now and this is the first time the subwoofer stopped on me.. video saved me definitely appreciated
Thank you so much for this video!!! I literally was about to give up because other videos were not working for me! But this has literally saved me! I’ve tried the “button on the + & - at the same time but mines a touchscreen like so it won’t work at all. But all to say THANK YOU!
Just saved myself the cost of a new soundbar by watching this video, thanks.
My soundbar and subwoofer went from the donation stack to my man-cave setup! Thanks, brother!
Thank you so much!!!! I too longer have my owner’s manual and watched several KZread videos. None of them helped. Yours was perfect. You ROCK!!!! 🎉
Thank you sir, it was driving me crazy, not having the sound to jam out. Your information was spot on an made all the difference. Jam on buddy Jam on
Thank you ! I thought I needed to buy a new soundbar and with your help I was able to reconnect my subwoofer!😅
Thank you so much boss it's been 2 month's with no Bass . Now I'm Back Blessings King !🙏🏿
I spent an hour watching videos giving me the wrong info, and all i had to do was hold the mute button... Thanks man.
Great video. The Star Ship Enterprise is now flying through my bedroom. My husband so mad, because it sounds so good and loud. Thanks again
