Bluetooth connectivity
The Samsung NU6900 does not have built-in Bluetooth for audio devices like AirPods. However, it does have an optical audio output, and you can purchase a Bluetooth adapter to connect to the Digital Audio Out port on the TV using an optical cable. Samsung recommends a TaoTronics Bluetooth 5.0 transmitter and receiver 2-in-1 wireless 3.5mm adapter, available on Amazon.
To connect a Bluetooth transmitter, you can also connect a splitter box directly to the TV to access three optical ports, where you can connect the soundbar and Bluetooth transmitter optical cables.
You can also purchase speakers with built-in Bluetooth to connect to the Samsung NU6900. For example, the RockvilleAudio HD5B Speaker Home Theatre System features Bluetooth with a range of 33 feet and perfect signal transfer so there is no loss in audio quality.
Additionally, you can connect your Samsung NU6900 to a Samsung Soundbar with an optical audio-out connection. However, this requires a cord and does not connect wirelessly.

Samsung soundbar connection
The Samsung NU6900 does not have built-in Bluetooth for audio devices like AirPods, but it does have an optical audio output. To connect a Bluetooth device, you will need to purchase a Bluetooth adapter and connect it to the Digital Audio Out port on the TV using an optical cable.
To connect a Samsung soundbar to a Samsung TV, you can use an HDMI cable, an optical cable, or a Wi-Fi connection.
For an HDMI connection, power on your TV and soundbar. Then, connect one end of an HDMI cable into the HDMI IN (ARC) port on your TV and the other end into the HDMI OUT (TV-ARC) port on your soundbar. Change the source on your soundbar to the D.IN setting. After a few seconds, “TV ARC” will appear on the soundbar's display, and the TV will play audio through the soundbar.
To connect via optical cable, turn on the TV and soundbar. Press the Source button on the soundbar, then set the soundbar to the D.IN setting. Connect one end of a digital optical cable to the OPTICAL OUT port on the TV and the other end to the DIGITAL AUDIO IN (OPTICAL) port on the soundbar.
For a Wi-Fi connection, click the Source button on the back of the soundbar or the remote to select Wi-Fi mode. Connect your mobile device to the same Wi-Fi network as your TV and download the Samsung SmartThings app. Tap Start and select the location and room, then your mobile device will search for and connect to the soundbar.
It is worth noting that while Bluetooth is a convenient wireless option, it may not offer the same sound quality as HDMI or optical cable connections, and it can be unstable due to external factors.

Optical audio output
The Samsung NU6900 TV has an optical audio output but no AUX or Bluetooth. This means that it has a trapezoidal "optical" audio port on the back, which can be used to connect to other devices.
Optical audio cables use fibre optic technology to transmit digital audio signals. This is distinct from other types of audio cables that use electrical signals. The light emitted from the port is the LED for sending an audio signal using an optical audio cable. The optical audio cable sends digital audio signals between electronic media devices, often in home theatre setups.
The benefits of optical audio cables include minimal interference, strong audio quality, compatibility with older equipment, and versatility with sound formats.
To connect to devices that use Bluetooth, you will need a Bluetooth adapter. This can be connected to the Digital Audio Out port on the TV using an optical cable.
To connect to devices that use AUX, you will need an optical-to-analog converter and cables to connect the TV to the device.
