Samsung TV & Audio HW-S800B Ultra Slim 3.0 Channel 360 Watt Soundbar with Dolby Atmos and Bluetooth BT AUTO CONNECT Error Fix: Soundbar Connects to Wrong Bluetooth Device

Error code BT AUTO CONNECT on the Samsung TV & Audio HW-S800B Ultra Slim 3.0 Channel 360 Watt Soundbar with Dolby Atmos and Bluetooth means: Soundbar Connects to Wrong Bluetooth Device. Soundbar auto-connects to a previously paired device instead of the desired one. Samsung soundbars auto-connect to the last paired device when entering BT mode. Fixes: (1) turn off Bluetooth on the unwanted device before powering on the soundbar, (2) manually disconnect from unwanted device and connect from desired device, (3) clear pairing list and re-pair only desired devices, (4) in SmartThings app (if Wi-Fi model), manage Bluetooth connections. Some Samsung soundbars support "TV SoundConnect" which prioritizes the Samsung TV connection over other Bluetooth devices.
