    Good value for the price we paid. The remote it comes with doesn't work very well with this system.

      Hello Csjones83,

      Thank you for sharing your experiences with the HW-A430 Soundbar. Your feedback is very important to us and will be shared with our product team.

      Try replacing the batteries within the provided Soundbar remote. Also please make sure that you have a proper line of sight between the Soundbar and the remote.

      If you'd like, you can use the TV remote to control the volume of the soundbar.

      If your soundbar is connected to your TV with an optical cable, you can control the volume and mute the soundbar using your Samsung TV's remote.

      1) Use the TV remote to navigate to Settings, select Sound, and then select Sound Output on your Samsung TV.
      2) Select your Samsung soundbar, and then select Close. Now you can use your TV remote to adjust volume and mute the soundbar. The soundbar should also turn on and off with the TV.

      Other manufacturer’s remotes may have to be enabled on your soundbar. First, turn Off the Soundbar. Once powered off, push up and hold the WOOFER button for 5 seconds. Each time you push the WOOFER button up and hold it for 5 seconds, the mode switches in the following order: “OFF-TV REMOTE” (Default mode), “SAMSUNG-TV REMOTE”, “ALL-TV REMOTE”. Please also make sure your speaker settings on the TV are set to External Speaker.

      I hope these tips help you enjoy your new product.
      You can always contact us for further help at 1-800-SAMSUNG (Ask for Soundbars), 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week. Our LiveChat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website.

    Bought during Black Friday online and Im so happy I did. Was a Christmas gift for the hubby and he loves it. Now I can’t get him off the couch to do anything since he feels he’s at the “theatre” even while watching the evening news!
