QuestionBought on 12-8-19. It will turn on, but there is no sound. Frustrated considering the price, don't want to have to replace it after only 4 months ! Need help. Used only with the TV.
Asked 5 years ago by LindaR.
- Answer Make sure your HDMI cables are in the right inputs and outputs. Also not sure how old your TV is and if it has an ARC HDMI port (will be marked on you TV's ports). If it does you should plug that port from your TV to the correct port on the sound bar. If you don't have ARC and your HDMI cables is hooked up properly then check the sound settings of your TV to make sure it's allowing external audio. Each brand is different so might require some playing around. Good luck.

QuestionWill the soundbar be able to control your tv via the Alexa? Change the input, control your Directv, etc.
Asked 6 years ago by Victor.
- Answer Not to my knowledge, no. It is like any other Alexa device and it only can control other Alexa devices in your home. You can adjust the volume and power off the soundbar with your voice but it is really just a big Alexa smart speaker.

QuestionHow is the bass and dialogue on this yas 209 unit? I was looking into the samsung r650 as it is on sale but lots of lack of bass complaints?
Asked 6 years ago by TONY.
- Answer I was totally surprised how good the bass was on this unit. With the bass boost on it's actually too much. Ask my neighbor! Superbowl was amazing on this bar. Several of my guests walked over to it they were so impressed. It's not Bose but it's also not $1400.
