Nope!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Short and to the point. If you play music it sounds good, older movies on Netflix etc, voice sounds really low even when you play around with the settings. Other sounds such as explosions or anything of that sort it’s loud but still can’t hear the voice that good. Newer movies with atmos Dolby sounds are better. Use your tv arc setting with a good hdmi to get the best sound from this bar. Second, the bar stays getting disconnected from Bluetooth or I have to go into the settings and reset the connections I’ve had to reset my Apple TV more times than I care to count just to get it working again. I have another sound bar that I have never had to do this with and yes it’s a Bose… Just this morning I had to go thru my tv settings and I had to unregister and register again all my hdmi connections just for the bar to work. Just spend a little more money and buy a good bar, like Bose Never will I buy another cheaper product just to try and save money.

Press and hold the SOUND CONTROL button for about 5 seconds to adjust the sound for each frequency band. 150Hz, 300Hz, 600Hz, 1.2kHz, 2.5kHz, 5kHz, and 10kHz are selectable using the Left/Right buttons and each can be adjusted to a setting between -6 to +6 using the Up/Down buttons. (Make sure the Sound mode is set to “STANDARD”.

Posted .Hi RonA,
We appreciate you taking a moment to review the HW-B550F Samsung Soundbar. We value your feedback and will share it with our teams.
If the video on the TV and audio from the soundbar are not synchronized, press the SOUND CONTROL button on the soundbar remote until you see AUDIO SYNC on the display. You can then set the audio delay between 0~300 milliseconds by using the Up/Down buttons.
You can also try the below to minimize the delay:
1) Connect the source directly to the Soundbar’s HDMI input, then connect the Soundbar to the HDMI ARC input on the TV.
2) On the TV, set the Sound Delay level to 0. Home > Settings > Sound > Expert Settings > Digital Output Audio Delay: “0”
3) Change the audio format to PCM on both the source device and the TV.
I hope the above helps to solve your issue. If you need further help, please reach out to Samsung Customer Support. Just give us a call at 1-800-SAMSUNG (Ask for Soundbars), 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week. Our Live Chat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website.
