Posted .Hello NeilO,
We appreciate you taking a few moments to review the Samsung HW-B650 Soundbar.
You can optimize your audio performance to your liking by pressing the SOUND MODE button on your soundbar remote, and then selecting the desired sound effect by choosing SURROUND SOUND, BASS BOOST, GAME, ADAPTIVE, DTS VIRTUAL:X, STANDARD.

(Make sure the Sound mode is set to “STANDARD”.
Additionally, using the WOOFER button on the remote, you can adjust the subwoofer’s volume between -6 to +6 by toggling the button up or down. To set the subwoofer volume level to 0, press the button down.
With the optional SWA-9200S Wireless Rear Speaker Kit connected you can adjust the volume by using the provided Soundbar remote. Press CH LEVEL and select REAR LEVEL, then use the Up/Down buttons to adjust the volume within a -6 to +6 range.

This sound bar is ok
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This item is ok. The clarity in voice over the background is nice. Little difficult to understand how to adjust the bass and treble settings. Like my previous Samsung sound bar. I don’t like the little viewing area to adjust the volume and other settings.

Okay
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's an okay buy. My only problem is when I shut off the tv and eventually turn it back on I have to reconnect the sound bar to the tv via shutting off and on my wi-fi so that the sound bar picks up. Another thing I can't have 2 bluetooth devices connected. Although my fairly new samsung tv states that I can.

Posted .Hello Home,
Thank you for sharing your review regarding the HW-B650 Soundbar. I am sorry to see that you have experienced these issues with your Soundbar.
If you are referring to Multi-Output Audio feature that your TV has, this is something that allows you to connect a Bluetooth device such as a pair of headphones or hearing-aids and also have the audio playing from the TV speakers.
The HW-B650 Soundbar has a Multi-Connection feature which will allow for two different smart devices to be connected to it at one time. This allows for two people to each have their phone connected to the soundbar, and can play songs from their phones without having to disconnect one phone and re-connect the other.
If we can further help with any other issues, please know we are here for you. Just call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (Ask for Soundbars), 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week. Or visit us on the Samsung website and click on the ‘Support’ link for:

Posted .Hi NewTV,
Thank you for your purchase and review of the HW-B650 Soundbar! Your feedback is important to us and will be shared with our product teams.
The maximum transmission distance of the main unit’s wireless signal is about 32.8 ft (10 m), but
may vary depending on your operating environment. Also, if a device that uses the same wireless frequency, such as a Wi-Fi router, is near the Soundbar, interference may cause some sound interruption.
I hope these tips help, should you need additional assistance with this, or have additional questions, please contact Samsung Customer Support at:
1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Soundbars), available 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week.
