    I don’t understand sound bars when I bought my new TV, they told me I needed one. But the woofer, I believe that’s what it’s called, thumps with heavy base. I wound up, unplugging it because it is too disturbing and I don’t know how to fix it.

(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.

    Decent soundbar. No real upgrade from a 7 year old sound bar of same specs. Only complaint is the sub woffer will disconnect randomly and then resume. Same thing happened with the 7 year old sound bar subwoofer. Just keep the sub woofer within 5 feet of soundbar for better connection
