    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.

      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:

    The sound is great and it's nice to be able to adjust the center channel for more clear spoken dialogue. My only issue is that the remote came essentially broken right out of the box. The volume button/toggle rarely works to turn volume up. It takes about 5 clicks for the button to respond once. Volume down works fine, and so do the rest of the buttons.

    Soundbar connection to devices resets randomly. Quite often, no sound will come out. Having a tv and soundbar of the same brand should make them compatible with each other. Having to re-pair and reset weekly isn’t ideal.

      Posted .

      Josh,

      We appreciate you taking the time to review the Samsung HW-B650 Soundbar. I’m sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience with the soundbars connections.

      Connecting your soundbar to a TV through HDMI will provide the best audio and user experience, often eliminating any connection or delay issues you may be experiencing. There are 2 ways to connect your soundbar with HDMI: you can connect a device to your soundbar (like a Blu-ray player) and then connect the soundbar to the TV, or you can use HDMI ARC. The first method will give you the best possible sound from external devices you regularly use. ARC is the way to go if you want great sound from streaming apps on your TV and a soundbar.

      If connected via Bluetooth to the TV and the soundbar is dropping out intermittently there are a few things to check before performing any troubleshooting:
      1) The maximum wireless signal transmission distance is about 33 ft.
      2) If there is a device that uses the same wireless frequency near the Soundbar, interference may cause some sound interruption.
      4) Check all the sources on the soundbar. If the audio is dropping while watching TV it could be an issue with the broadcast.
      5) Also, please be sure you have the latest firmware update. You can update your firmware by using a USB device. You can find the update on the product page of your HW-B650 on the Samsung website

      If we can help with anything else, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (Ask for Soundbars), 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week. Live Chat with an agent as well as manuals, software, and warranty info can be found at the ‘Support’ link on our Samsung website.
