I would recommend this to a friendWorks Fine - High Speed HDMI Cable Output Lower ??
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Been using it for month, so far, so good! The ARC Connection to the Samsung QN85BD TV was very easy. The only thing I noticed, when I switched a high speed 3.0 HDMI cable, the sound level had to be increased. Example: with the old 2.0 HDMI cable, I used the sound level at 4-5, and with the new HS HDMI it needs to be at 12-14 to get the same volume output. I've not taken the time to firgure out why.

Posted .Hi Rich,
Thank you for taking a moment to review the Samsung HW-B650 soundbar.
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.
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 call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8AM - 12AM EST (Ask for Soundbars), 7 days a week. Our LiveChat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website.

Posted .Frugalgal,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re not fully satisfied with the subwoofer performance of your Samsung HW-B650 soundbar.
By design, the purpose of the subwoofer is to reproduces low frequency sounds and not musical tones. It adds rich tones and deepens sound effects, like the rumbles of an explosion or the depth in bass guitars and drums.
There are three adjustments that can be made for bass and subwoofer:
1) Using the WOOFER button on the remote, you can adjust the volume of the subwoofer between -6 to +6 by toggling the button up or down. To set the subwoofer volume level to 0, press the button down
2) Adjust the bass control by pressing the SOUND CONTROL button (gear icon) on the remote control, then select BASS to increase the level. You can adjust the volume between -6 to +6 by using the Up/Down buttons.
3) Press the SOUND MODE button on your remote, and then select BASS BOOST mode. This will provide you with a larger emphasis on bass sound.
For precise audio adjustments, you can use the 7-band frequency equalizer to optimize the sound for your room acoustics.
