    I was not pleased with this unit. I returned it to the store. The sound in the store was good, but at home the subwoofer was nothing. When I returned it, I was told you have to turn it up really loud to get the wireless subwoofer to perform well. That was great it in store, but in my much smaller living area, it was not possible! I got a bose and love it.

    This unit delivers good sound for the price. The highs are crisp, the bass is a little muddy though.

    I looked for two years to add soundbar to my 42" tv. This sounds almost just like my tv but louder, no kick in sound perfomance. So i purchased this unit upon recommendation of salesman. Brought home easy setup, but had a question about the setup. So I called the store they sent me to Geek Squad(which I purchased the 4 year warranty) they said they didn't help with soundbars. I had to call Samaung. But this is not the worse part. My unit doesn't work, the sound is horrible, no bass kick and no surround sound. When you turn on surroundsound it reverts back to Standard mode. No matter which of the Sound Effect modes:Standard,Music,Voice,Sports,Cinema you select and then turn on the surroundsound it goes back to Standard mode. Each and every time. Actually turning surroundsound off or on there is no difference in sound performance. I purchased this on the 5th and tried to return on the 22nd and Best Buy would not let me return it because it was two days past 15 days. I believe if you buy something and it doesn't work and it doesn't sound like it should. Expecially when it's based on recommendation of salesman. I should be able to return unit. I was even willing to purchase the next best soundbar.

    Surround Sound Problem

    Just noticed that the Surround Sound only works in Standard mode. If applying in all the other modes , music, voice, sports, cinema it will revert back to Standard mode. A firmware update is needed to correct this issue, Samsung.
