Good but could be better
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound bar pairs nicely with the Samsung TU700D Series. The subwoofer and back speakers are a little harder to pair. You need them to be very close to each other while pairing but can be unplugged and moved after pairing. Every hour or two sound will go away for about a second or two, this can be annoying. Getting the sound to sync with the picture is not easy and is still not quite right after attempting to adjust it for 30 mintues. The rear speakers both plug into a third receiver box that is plugged into the wall so it is wireless but has wires. The subwoofer just plugs into the wall.

Mother In-law loves it!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My Mother in-law had a television which lost one of its speakers and was about 10 years old. She asked me to evaluate its replacement or repair. Based upon the age and technology improvements I recommended replacement. She; however was reluctant because it still had a beautiful 10/80 picture, and met her needs. I researched replacement and discovered the cost was between $500-1200. On a fluke I checked sound bars and found this for around $160. I bought it and installed it for her and she is completely happy. The addition improved her viewing experience and allows her to use the Bluetooth function to play music, podcasts, and talk radio from her telephone. If you are an audiophile this is not for you. The only complaint I have is it is limited to an optical input, without HDMI-e-Arc. Unfortunately to operate the unit requires its own remote, but for $150 and great sound she loves it.

Posted .Hi Huey,
Thank you for purchasing the Samsung HW-A470 Soundbar and for sharing your review. Your feedback regarding the available connections and user control experience is improtant to us and will be shared with our product teams.
Please know, as long as 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. The soundbar should also turn on and off with the TV.
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 this helps to resolve the issue for you. If you need further assistance, please reach out to us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Soundbars), available 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week.

Good Value when on sale
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this when it was on sale as a Christmas present for my mother-in-law. Overall I think it is a pretty good value when it is on sale. I did have some issues with the sound being out of sync with the video, and considering that it was being used with a Samsung tv, I feel like this should have been less of an issue. I guess that could be more of an issue with the tv than the soundbar. I think the rear speakers should be a little louder as well. I could barely even tell they were on until I turned the rear level setting up all the way. If you plan on putting the rear speakers up high or far from where you sit, you might want to consider a different option.

Affordable Small Apartment Surround Sound System
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a nice affordable unit for a small apartment bedroom or living room. The wireless speaker kit looks great if you are able to hide wires at the back of room (behind a bed or a sofa) Sound quality is great for a 150 sq ft room. Easy install.

More than I expected.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good value for the price. For my medium sized room it fills the air with beautiful music (unless I'm in my Metallica mood, then its just loud.) Some reviewers have complained that the rear satellite speakers are not loud enough. Not so. But they do require the right input. When using Amazon Music some music does not have a back track, While some are vivid and give a nice 2D sound scape. Similarly with TV videos. 15 year old movie DVDs are sad, but not HD video streams.

Working Perfect to my living room
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just purchased this surround system. This system bangs. It hits hard. Great bass and treble sounds. If you follow the instructions and link everything properly, the sound is amazing. It also has adjustable subwoofer settings. The surround rear speakers play in all modes except the standard setting option. Compare to my other system this one works better and price is less. I love this system.
