Decent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is decent but not unbelievably great. Voices sound the same, but music does sound better than regular tv
I would recommend this to a friendSome ooomph for the sounds
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great addition to replace the TV stereo sound. There have been a few dropped signals but its bluetooth. It is expected.
I would recommend this to a friendNeeds center channel adjustment!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not having center channel adjustment is a real pain. I'm using this soundbar with a Samsung Q80r TV paired with the 9100s rear speakers. Overall the soundbar sounds great, with one major issue. I'm having low dialog audio even with the dedicated center channel. I've tried everything to fix it, but really what I would need is the ability to adjust the volume of the center channel with the remote.

Posted .Hi gauntlet0,
Thank you for purchasing the Samsung HW-A650 and for sharing your experience with drowned out dialogue and the lack of center channel control. To improve your experience, try using Dynamic Range Control (DRC).
DRC lets you apply dynamic range control to Dolby Digital tracks. With DRC turned on, loud sounds will be reduced and the dialogue may be easier to understand.
1) Turn off your Soundbar.
2) While the Soundbar is off, press and hold the Sound Mode button on the remote control for 6 seconds until you see “DRC ON” shown on the display.
3) To turn off DRC, repeat steps 1 and 2 above.
You can also 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.
If you need additional help with this issue, or have any questions or concerns with this soundbar, please reach out to us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Soundbars), available 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week.
