    I hooked everything up and the subwoofer was above par for the price, but the soundbar had very subpar volume. My TV speakers had louder volume than this soundbar, and I hooked it up to a 50” 7000 series Samsung TV. Needless to say that I took this back and got a different soundbar.

    This sound system definitely makes a difference over using the TV sound. It was also easy enough to pair with the TV and remote. Though it lacks a little in the surround sound and the subwoofer seems weaker than we expected.

    Not loud... the volume goes to 100 but it sounds like it's actually at 5. There is no bass, the salesman said I'd be rattling my windows with this. Returned it and got the Polk audio Magnifi Max and it was well worth the money!!! Been a month and it's knocked things off the entertainment center lol, I love it! Many awesome features like adjustable bass, easily paired with any cable remote, etc. Highly recommended!

      Slayerdude:

      Thank you for having tried the Samsung HW-R450 Soundbar. I am sorry that you found the bass and overall volume to be weak.

      There are two adjustments that can be made for bass and subwoofer:
      1) Using the WOOFER button on the remote, you can adjust the volume of the subwoofer between -6 to +6 by toggling the button up or down. To set the subwoofer volume level to 0, press the button down

      2) Adjust the bass control by pressing the SOUND CONTROL button (gear icon) on the remote control, then select BASS to increase the level. You can adjust the volume between -6 to +6 by using the Up/Down buttons.

      Also, it is important to check that the soundbar was correctly positioned. It has come to our attention that customers may be positioning the soundbar incorrectly, resulting in poor sound quality and seemingly low volume output. The soundbar should be placed with the SAMSUNG logo facing up towards the ceiling. If you position the soundbar with the logo facing up, you will see the display/status panel and the speakers will be facing outward. (Refer to product photos on Samsung.com and zoom in on the photos) If you have incorrectly placed the soundbar with the SAMSUNG logo perpendicular to the floor (facing you when you sit), you will experience muffled and low volume sound because the unit will be resting on the speakers.

      Should you ever decide to give Samsung audio products another try and have concerns or questions, please know we are always here to help. You can contact Samsung Customer Support by any of the below options:

      1) Phone: 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Soundbars)
