    Sound bar is OK but no sound from satellite speakers at all. Samsung support useless. they just try to sell me an installation package. hole behind speakers too small to accommodate speaker stands so we spent $15 on hardware at local True Value to mount them. no woofer. I miss my 2010 Sony surround sound package on last TV.

    Purchased originally to enhance the sound on the 50" class 8000. The sound quality was below what I had expected. The output from the back channel speakers was almost non existent. Ended up returning this for a Sony 2.1 channel sound bar w wireless subwoofer and was way more satisfied.

      Hi cBear25,

      Thank you for purchasing the Samsung HW-A40R and for sharing your review. Your feedback regarding the surround sound performance of the soundbar when paired with the rear speakers is important to us and will be shared with our product teams.

      Please know, there are a few settings and adjustments that can be made to increase the volume of the rear speakers to your liking. First, make sure you have the latest firmware version installed (ver1014). Once installed, with the Soundbar on, press and hold the STANDARD button on the remote control for about 6 seconds. Use the BASS Up/Down buttons to adjust the level of the REAR speakers between -6 to +6.

      Additionally, turn off the soundbar, then press and hold the source button on the soundbar for 7 seconds to enable Gain Boost. With Gain Boost active, the rear speaker’s volume level will be increased when the soundbar is in Surround mode. This feature can be turned off by following the same process.

      I hope this helps you further enjoy the audio experience. Should you ever have questions or need help, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Soundbars), available 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week.

      Hi K3Ellis,

      Thank you for your review of Samsung’s HW-A40R soundbar. I’m sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience with the setup of your rear speakers, but we greatly appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention. Follow the steps below to properly connect the rear speakers to the A40R soundbar.

      When connecting the speaker cables to the Wireless Receiver Module & surround speakers, follow these steps:
      1. Match the speaker cable connected to the grey port to the speaker with the grey label.
      2. Match the speaker cable connected to the blue port to the speaker with the blue label.
      3. Insert the red and black colored ends of each speaker cable into the red and black ports of the
      appropriate speaker (the labels are on the backs of the speakers).

      When you turn the power on after connecting the power cables to the Soundbar and Wireless Surround speaker, the surround speakers are automatically connected to the Soundbar.
      • When auto pairing is complete, the blue indicators at the rear of the Wireless Receiver Module turn on.

      If automatic connection fails, try manually pairing the rear speakers:
      1. Check whether the power cables for the Soundbar and Wireless Surround speaker are connected properly.
      2. Make sure that the Soundbar is turned on
      3. Press the ID SET button on the back of the Wireless Receiver Module with a pen tip for 5~6 seconds until the LINK LED indicator blinks fast (in Blue)
      4. Press and hold the mute button on the remote control for at least 5 seconds.
      5. Check if the LINK LED is solid blue (connection complete)

      - If the LED light is solid blue, the rear speakers are connected to your soundbar.
      - If the LED light is blinking blue fast, the module is in pairing mode. Check to see if your soundbar is turned on and repeat the above steps.
      - If the LED light is blinking blue slowly, the module is disconnected. Turn off your soundbar and press the Up button on the remote for 5 seconds. The ID SET message will appear on the soundbar for a short time and then disappear. After the ID SET process, the soundbar power is automatically turned on. The LINK LED indicator stops blinking and glows a solid blue when a connection is established between the soundbar and the wireless receiver module.

      This issue may also be caused by wireless interference. When there is a wireless device (e.g., wireless LAN) using the same frequency near the Soundbar, the wireless connection between the Subwoofer and Surround Speaker could become unstable. This will affect the quality of audio output.

      Should you require additional assistance setting up the included rear speakers, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Soundbars), available 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week.

      Hello Deemarie,

      Please know there are a wide range of options available to further tune the audio to your liking.

      First, please be sure you have the latest firmware version installed. You can update to the latest firmware by downloading the firmware file from the Samsung Electronics Website, load the file onto a USB storage device, and connecting the USB storage device to the soundbar. Updating your firmware provides the latest improvements and features, such as the ability to adjust the volume of the rear speakers.

      Once the latest firmware version has been installed, press, and hold the STANDARD button on the remote control for about 6 seconds then use the Bass Up/Down buttons to adjust the level of the rear speakers between -6 to +6.

      Additionally, you may want to check the sound settings on your TV. If your Digital Output Audio Format is set to PCM then you will likely notice decreased performance with surround sound audio systems. Dolby options are designed for surround systems (like 3.1.2 or 7.1), whereas PCM provides great sound quality for stereo speakers.

      If you’d like more help with settings, please know we’re here to help! Call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (Ask for Soundbars), 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week. Or visit us on the Samsung website and click on the ‘Support’ link for:

      Hi Jccrflorida,

      Thank you for your review of the HW-A40R Soundbar and for your feedback regarding the volume issues you are experiencing with the included rear speakers. By design, the surround speakers are supposed to simulate sounds happening behind the viewer. Therefore, most of the time the surround channels are only used for ambient sounds, which are naturally lower in volume.

      However, there are a few settings you can change to adjust the surround effect to your preference:

      1) Download and install the latest firmware version (ver.1014)
      2) Once installed, with the Soundbar on, press and hold the STANDARD button on the remote control for about 6 seconds
      3) The LEDs will blink to indicate you are in adjustment mode
      4) Use the BASS Up/Down buttons to adjust the level of the REAR speakers between -6 to +6.
      5) The adjustment mode will exit if the surround button is pressed, or if no button is pressed for 10 seconds


      If the volume levels still seem to low for your preference, please be aware of the following:

      1) Make sure that the source (e.g. TV output) is sending surround channels to the Soundbar. If the source is not capable of surround, then set the Surround mode to OFF on the Soundbar by pressing the Surround button on the remote.
      2) If the source has surround channels, select the Surround Sound Mode from the Soundbar remote.
      3) Turn off Dynamic Range Control. This is done by pressing and holding the SURROUND button for 5 seconds.
      4) Turn off the soundbar, then press and hold the source button on the soundbar for 7 seconds to enable Gain Boost. With Gain Boost active, the rear speaker’s volume level will be increased when the soundbar is in Surround mode. This feature can be turned off by following the same process.

      I hope these tips help to enhance your audio enjoyment.

      2) If the source has surround channels, select the Surround Sound Mode from the Soundbar remote.
      3) Turn off Dynamic Range Control. This is done by pressing and holding the SURROUND button for 5 seconds.
      4) Turn off the soundbar, then press and hold the source button on the soundbar for 7 seconds to enable Gain Boost. With Gain Boost active, the rear speaker’s volume level will be increased when the soundbar is in Surround mode. This feature can be turned off by following the same process.

      I hope these tips help to enhance your audio enjoyment.

    Not bad at all for the price. Speakers don’t quite give you a punch.
