    My Samsung is 2016 and apparently that’s why the HDMI ARC does not connect with the sound bar. Instead using an optical cable. I told the sales representative about the age but he insisted “if there’s an HDMI ARC port then it will work”. Now I’ll never know what sound could have been.

    I really liked the JBL 9.1 sound bar so bought the bar 500 for a smaller room. The dialogue enhancement feature works really well for all types of movies. I highly recommend this product.

    The sub really does pack a punch. And the sound bar does sound really good but there is absolutely no audio adjustment on the sound bar and there is no different sound modes. half the time when you're watching movies You can't even hear what the people are saying Because the sound effects are so loud And there is no way to adjust.. I also had a problem with the subwoofer cutting in and out. I ended up returning this sounds bar and going with a Samsung.

    I like this soundbar/sub a lot but unless turned up to highest level its not as pronounced. The scrolling display is a little distracting.
