You get what you pay for
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wish that I had gotten one with a separate woofer. If all you need is for your TV to be louder than this is fine, if you want it to be louder and sound better than spend the extra $50 and get a better one. Also it periodically turns itself on which is annoying and also terrifying because whenever it turns on it announces which input is selected. Before we turn it off we always make sure that we turn the volume all the way down and then turn it off so that way its muted when it randomly decides to turn on at 3AM.

Posted .Hi Scott,
Thank you for purchasing the Samsung S40T Soundbar and for your review. A new firmware update has just been released which will allow you to disable the voice guide feature. Ver. 1103 is available on Samsung.com.
After your firmware update: With the Soundbar turned off, press and hold the source key on the Soundbar remote control for 5 seconds. The Soundbar will then turn of automatically. To re-enable the voice guide, repeat the above process.
To optimize your audio experience, please try the various sound modes this model offers. Press the SOUND MODE button on your remote, and then select your desired sound effect: STANDARD, MUSIC, or SMART SOUND.
You can further adjust TREBLE and BASS via the SOUND CONTROL button (looks like a gear symbol).
I hope these tips help. For further assistance, please contact Samsung Customer Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Soundbars), available 8AM -12AM EST, 7 days a week. Or text HELP to 62913.

I would recommend this to a friendAverage
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sound bar is average. It does not have a strong enough subwoofer as I wanted. It may be okay for a bedroom, but if you you want some “boom” this is not the sound bar you want.
