    So the sound bar is great but twice in the last month I have had to hard reset it. Like rather unplug or reset breaker! Not easy with being plugged behind the tv!!! But when it works it works great. It is the only one that we could find that was longer to match our large tv.

      Hello BeckyK,

      Thank you for purchasing the HW-B650 Samsung Soundbar.

      There are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot your Soundbar.

      You can download the firmware directly from Samsung’s website by clicking “Support” in the top right corner. Then go to “Manuals & Software” > “TVs & Home Theater” > “Home Theater” > “Sound Bars”. From there, you can select the HW-B650 under Standard.

      Download the update and install it via USB thumb stick to your soundbar. If you need additional help, there are how-to instructions on this page. Please know that Samsung Customer Service is here to assist as well.

      Please verify that you are running the latest firmware on your TV. You can check to see what software version your TV is using and if there is an available update through the settings on your TV. Go to: Menu > Settings > Support > Software Update.

      If this still does not correct your issue, then do a hard reset. With the Soundbar on, press the + & - Volume buttons on the body of the soundbar at the same time for at least 5 seconds. INIT OK” appears on the display and then the Soundbar is reset.

      If you need more help, Samsung is here for you. 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.

    This is our first soundbar, but we needed this after the speakers in the TV we have in our bedroom stopped working properly, but we aren't ready to get rid of our wonderful plasma TV just yet. This works pretty well, we are still figuring out how to adjust it so the dialogue is a little more forward, so it can be understood over the louder background noises. Pretty low profile.

    Outstanding system for the price I paid. Only thing I wish it had was better, more powerful base response. Or the ability to individually upgrade the wireless subwoofer.

    Excellent sound, seamless integration with the new Samsung TV. The display on the soundbar needs to be better; difficult to read particularly at a distance. Also highly recommend reading the manual to take advantage of all available settings. Other than that, it's a great product.

    The quality between the tv sound and the sound bar is quite distinct. The sound bar gives it a movie theater like quality, booming and surround sound. It is adjustable and even on a low setting you can still hear and the quality is still exciting.

    The Samsung-HW-B650/ZA 3.1 ch Soundbar we received from Best Buy is perfect for us. It has enabled us to increase the volume of voices, and decrease loud background music.We have a favorite show that had music continuously drowning out the voices. We are now able to watch the show again. The sound is terrific.
