Samsung sound bar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Reason why 4 starts because i have a LG with 300W for 5 years now and sounds better. This Samsung bar sounds don’t sound as much the bass of the box. Plus can’t even use my Direct tv control for volume..

Posted .Hi Giopaez,
Thank you for sharing your review of the Samsung HW-A550. We appreciate your feedback regarding the performance of your soundbar.
You can try optimizing audio performance for your specific content by pressing the SOUND MODE button on your soundbar remote, and then selecting the desired sound effect by choosing STANDARD, SURROUND SOUND, BASS BOOST, GAME, or ADAPTIVE.
You can also press the Sound Control button on the remote (looks like a gear) to adjust TREBLE and BASS.
Press and hold the Sound Control button for about 5 seconds to adjust the sound for each of seven frequency bands.
Using the WOOFER button on the remote, you can adjust the volume of the subwoofer to -12 or between -6 to +6 by toggling the button up or down. To set the subwoofer volume level to 0, press the button down.
You can try the following troubleshooting step to allow additional remotes to control the soundbar. First, turn off the Soundbar. 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”.
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.

Mediocre at best
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product started out well enough. Decent sound quality for the price. However nearly two years in, I find it randomly turning off, not connecting and just overall, not the quality it started with when I purchased in. I am not a hard user by any means, nor do I blast music or TV. I would probably try another product over this unless you want short term.

Samsung sound bar
