      Hi Dennis,

      As long as your soundbar is connected to your TV with either an optical cable or HDMI via ARC, you can control the volume and mute the soundbar using your Samsung TV's remote. The soundbar should also turn on and off with the TV.

      TV remotes have to be enabled on your soundbar. By default, Samsung TV remotes are enabled on your soundbar. If it isn't working, be sure the soundbar is powered on, then press and hold the WOOFER button up until ON - TV REMOTE appears on the display (about 5 seconds).

      I hope this tip helps improve your enjoyment. For more help, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (Ask for Soundbars), 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week. LiveChat with an agent as well as manuals, software, and warranty info can be found at the ‘Support’ link on our Samsung website.

    Love Samsung Products, I own 3 - just not this one

    I own the Samsung Q-Series 9.1.4 system - which is excellent and on the high end and is attached to my #1 television which is located in the den, so I'm set there. My plan was to use my den television for programs that required the best sound. My living room television with great high-end picture, had lame sound quality. In there, I felt I didn't need the same high-end sound, but something better than what came with the television that would be "adequate". After reading reviews and wanting to stay with Samsung (both the televisions are 75 inch Samsungs), I purchased the HW-B650/ZA system. I may have gotten a bad bar as it didn't put out enough sound - even sitting close to the television - it had to be turned up to 100% to really even hear it. A Best Buy Geek came out to check on them as they were not performing anywhere near my expectations. He agreed that the performance was inadequate and should be returned. So I returned the soundbar, something I rarely do and feel rather uncomfortable doing. I'm used to being satisfied with my Best Buy purchases right out of the box. Sound bars are tricky because most of the time, you can not hear them in the store - they can only put so many bars out for demos. So you must trust the specs, reviews manufacturers price point values and sales recommendations before purchasing one. I had read several reviews from users that really liked this soundbar. But, one doesn't know what they're getting until you connect it to the television. I ended up getting a sound bar that's in a higher quality and price point category, that's very good. But was disappointed that I couldn't purchase a "decent" bar in this price range.

    Product is as described. Delivery was an issue. Package was re-routed and delayed at least twice. The good news is I didn't need it right away.
