    Upgrading to the Samsung sound system with a 3.1 channel and subwoofer was a good choice. However, I feel the bass from the subwoofer could be better.

      Thank you for purchasing this Samsung HW-N550 Soundbar System. I am sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied with its low volume.

      Please check the connection between the Soundbar and other source devices, and try the following tips that may help improve the volume level.

      1. Check the source volume. For example, if connected to a mobile phone using Bluetooth, increase the volume on the mobile phone.
      2. If the Soundbar is connected to a TV thru HDMI, make sure to use the HDMI-ARC jack on the TV and select “External speakers” as the TV sound output.
      3. Then check the TV for the audio output format sent to the Soundbar. Typical options are PCM, Dolby Digital, and Bitstream. Select the option that optimizes the sound from your source.
      4. Change the SOUND MODE on the Soundbar by using the Soundbar’s remote. Select the appropriate mode for the individual room acoustics.
      5. Turn on Dynamic Range Control. This is done by pressing and holding the SOUND MODE button on the remote control while the Soundbar is in standby mode.

      I hope these tips help to enhance your audio enjoyment.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I enjoy Samsung products and I exclusively buy their TV'S but this soundbar misses the mark. I purchased to go along with a Samsung Q6F 49" TV. The speakers included with the TV sound better than the soundbar no matter which way you set it up. Not asking a lot out of it either as it is setup in the bedroom! I will be returning to the store. I would continue to look elsewhere before buying this unit.
