Hi Jack,<br /><br />Thank you for taking a moment to review the Samsung HW-C47M Soundbar.<br /><br />If the auto-connection process to the rear speakers was unsuccessful, you can manually pair the rear speakers to the soundbar. Press the ID SET button on the back of the Left Rear Speaker with a pen tip for 5~6 second or until the LINK LED indicator blinks fast (in Blue).<br /><br />Next, with the soundbar powered OFF, press and hold the UP button on the remote control until ID SET message appears on the Soundbar’s Display. If the Soundbar does not have a display window then the LEDs will blink RED – Green – Blue (in that order) The LINK LED indicator stops blinking on the left rear speaker and glows a solid blue when a connection is established between the Soundbar and the Wireless Rear Speakers.<br /><br />I hope these tips help resolve the issues you are experiencing. If you would like additional assistance with the setup of your rear speakers, please contact Samsung Customer Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG (Ask for Soundbars), 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week. Live Chat with an agent as well as manuals, software, and warranty info can be found at the ‘support’ link on our Samsung website.<br /><br />~ Samsung Solutions
