Hi, I have a Samsung QE50 TV and a Samsung K450 soundbar. I have them connected via Bluetooth. However, when I turn off the TV and then turn it on again the soundbar doesn't come on. Even when I turn it on I then have to go into the TV settings to switch to the soundbar. Can you help? Thank you

Why Bluetooth? That's not good for sound quality.

I doubt the Bluetooth connection method has the ability to wake up the soundbar. use eARC.

In response to David_27

other soundbar manufacturers (Majority, LG as an example)  default to last BT connection when power on which is very helpful - Samsung does not which is a pain.  And I use Bluetooth (i am guessing original poster is also) as i cannot run cables from output device (Fire TV) to soundbar.

I have BT auto link switched on however guessing this is only a Samsung only feature.

 

For context, my prior Soundbar (Majority K2) automatically reconnected via Bluetooth to the Fire Tv when i switched on the soundbar.  Does anyone know how to do this with a Samsung (HW-B530/UX) soundbar
