Hi user889703,

I'm very sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with your U8000F TV. If you're experiencing sound dropouts, the steps below are designed to help you troubleshoot across different connection types.

HDMI ARC / eARC Connection
1. Use a certified High-Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet and ensure it's firmly connected to the HDMI eARC ports on both the TV and soundbar/receiver.
2. Enable ARC/eARC settings on your TV:
o Settings > All Settings > Sound > Expert Settings > HDMI eARC Mode = Auto
o Settings > All Settings > General & Privacy > External Device Manager > Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) = On
3. Adjust Digital Output Audio Format:
o Settings > All Settings > Sound > Expert Settings > Digital Output Audio Format
o Set this to Auto unless you're using a device that specifically requires Pass-Through.
4. Cold boot your TV by holding the power button on your remote for 5+ seconds.

Bluetooth Connection
1. Bluetooth connections can be sensitive to distance and interference. Keep the Bluetooth device close to the TV, and remove nearby sources of interference (e.g., wireless routers or other Bluetooth devices).
2. For improved stability, use a 5GHz Wi-Fi network if available.
3. If issues persist, we recommend switching to a wired connection (HDMI ARC or Optical) for a more reliable audio experience.

Wi-Fi / Wireless Speaker Connections
1. Make sure both your TV and audio device are on the same network band (5GHz is ideal for stability).
2. If you're using Samsung’s Wireless Audio features (e.g., Wi-Fi Speaker Surround Setup), ensure your speaker system is properly added in: Settings > All Settings > Sound > Sound Output > Wi-Fi Speaker Surround Setup
3. If signal issues continue, disconnect and reconnect the speaker from the network and re-add it to the TV.

Also Try:
• Update your TV's firmware: Settings > Support > Software Update > Update Now
• Run a Sound Test to verify internal sound functions: Settings > Support > Device Care > Self Diagnosis > Sound Test

If you’ve tried the steps above and are still experiencing issues, we’re here to help. You can call Samsung Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8AM – 12AM EST, 7 days a week. Our LiveChat agents are also available by clicking the ‘Support’ link at Samsung.com.

Hi MynameisRuth,

Thank you for purchasing Samsung’s U8000F TV and for sharing your feedback regarding low volume. To start, we recommend making sure your TV is running the latest firmware, as updates can include improvements to sound performance: Home > left directional key > Settings > Support > Software Update

If volume levels still seem too low, you can improve sound performance by adjusting a few key settings:

Sound Mode: Navigate to: Settings > All Settings > Sound > Sound Mode

Auto Volume: This feature helps maintain consistent volume levels across content and input sources. Turn it on under: Settings > All Settings > Sound > Expert Settings > Auto Volume = On

You can also explore Expert Settings to fine-tune sound output with adjustments for Balance, Equalizer, and more.

If you’re considering enhancing your setup, Samsung’s Q- and S-Series Soundbars (like the HW-Q600F) feature Q-Symphony, which syncs your TV and soundbar speakers for a fuller, more immersive sound experience.

For personalized support with these settings or selecting a soundbar to complement your setup, contact Samsung Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG (8AM – 12AM EST, 7 days a week) or use LiveChat via the ‘Support’ link on our website.

Hi TyroneC,

Thank you for your feedback on the Samsung U8000F TV. If the picture appears unclear, dull, or lacks definition, there are several settings you can adjust to improve clarity and overall image quality. Go to: Settings > All Settings > Picture > Expert Settings, and review these key settings:

Picture Clarity Settings: While originally intended for motion handling, these can also impact overall clarity
• Off: Disables motion enhancements
• Auto: Automatically adjusts based on content
• Custom: Lets you fine-tune:
o Judder Reduction – Helps smooth out uneven motion
o LED Clear Motion – Boosts sharpness in fast-moving content
o Noise Reduction – Reduces distortion and enhances detail in lower-resolution sources

Core Picture Settings
• Brightness – Controls overall screen brightness
• Contrast – Enhances the difference between bright and dark areas
• Sharpness – Adjusts edge definition; closer to 20 increases detail
• Color – Enhances depth and intensity of colors

And don’t forget to check for the latest firmware, which may improve performance: Settings > Support > Software Update > Update Now

These adjustments can make a noticeable difference in overall clarity. If you need further help tailoring the settings to your preferences or environment, please contact Samsung Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8AM – 12AM EST, 7 days a week. LiveChat is also available via the ‘Support’ link on our website.

Hi MelWill
,
Thank you for sharing your review. Your TV Works With Alexa, meaning you’ll need to connect a standalone Alexa device, such as an Echo speaker, to control compatible smart home devices and some experiences on your TV. Here are the steps:

1. Download both the Amazon Alexa and Samsung SmartThings apps, if you don't already have them. Both are available for iOS or Android devices.
2. Make sure your Alexa device and TV are both connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
3. Your TV must be enabled within the SmartThings app. If not, make sure you are signed in with your Samsung account on the TV: Settings > All Settings > Samsung Account
4. Log in to the SmartThings app with the same Samsung account. Tap Devices, and if your TV isn’t already shown, tap + to add it to the app.
5. In the Alexa app, enable the SmartThings skill and sign into your Samsung account. This will automatically connect your Samsung TV to Alexa and let you use voice commands to control your television.

If you need more help, we’re here. Give us a call at 1-800-SAMSUNG (8AM – 12AM EST, 7 days a week). You can also connect with a LiveChat agent through the Support link on our website.

Ornairon,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the available inputs for the U8000F. If an Optical port is a crucial part of your setup needs, you’ll find that connection starting with our Q8F Series and above.

For future purchases, we recommend double-checking the product specs on Best Buy’s site to ensure the model you choose has the ports you need. You’ll find the full list under the “Specifications” tab (just beneath the Highlights section): https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-43-class-q7f-series-qled-4k-uhd-samsungvision-ai-smart-tizen-tv-2025/6619443.p?skuId=6619443
