Q: Does the soundbar have an hdmi connection?
A: Hi GR! The HW-A40R does not feature an HDMI connection. You can utilize Digital Optical Audio or Bluetooth audio technology to connect to your TV. ^Tim
Q: Can I connect these fully wireless? Or do they need to be connected via optical or HDMI?
A: Hello JaredSATX, The HW-A40 Soundbar has the ability to connect using Digital Optical or Bluetooth. We do recommend using Digital Optical as this will offer the best audio and user experience available. ~Samsung Solutions
A: Hi Eddie! Yes, you can choose to not pair the rear speakers and enjoy the sound quality from the soundbar alone. Should you wish to setup the rear speakers at a future date, you can manually pair them to the soundbar. ^Tim
Q: Will this work with a lg smart TV?
A: They say you can mix and match name brands, but for the best quality you want to keep LG tv’s with LG soundbars and the same with Samsung because they just sync better with their own brands.
A: Hi Virginny, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues getting the link to work correctly. Earlier today I was experiencing issues with samsung.com myself, but now everything seems to be working fine. The link https://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/?model=N0054850 is the place to for the full manual and all firmware updates. If you need extra assistance with updating your soundbar, please contact Samsung Customer Service. The two best options for contacting Customer Service are 1) 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8 AM - 12 AM EST, 7 days a week.

Q: Can an external powered Samsung sub-woolfer be added to this ?
