    This product is for sale $200 cheaper then best buy, to get the price down you had to buy a membership, I was told the membership was free, but was charged. When I went to get a price match, they told me since you bought it on membership, hey would not match the price. So I could of bought the product elsewhere for less. I feel, cheated, scammed and lied to. Will never use Best Buy again!

      Hello PeterC,

      We appreciate you taking a few moments to review the HW-B650 Soundbar.

      In all configurations (Optical, Bluetooth and ARC) when the TV is turned ON, the Soundbar will turn ON. If your soundbar is not turning on, it could be due to another reason. For example, if the Soundbar was used to connect to another device (say a smart phone), then it will remember the last device (smart phone) and wait for a command from that device (the smartphone) and ignore the TV ON command.

      You may want to try using a HDMI-ARC connection to the TV. When the TV turns ON, it will send a command to turn on the Soundbar and forces the source on the Soundbar to change to HDMI-ARC. This would make the Soundbar change the source from the prior state it was in.

      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 Live Chat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website.

      Hello RogerM,

      Thank you for leaving a review and sharing your thoughts on the new HW-B650 Soundbar. Your feedback is very important to us in our pursuit in bringing you the best in audio products.

      You can try adjusting 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.
      SURROUND SOUND: Provides a wider sound field than standard.

      BASS BOOST MODE: Sound field mode with emphasis on bass sound.

      GAME MODE: Provides stereoscopic sound to immerse you in the action while gaming.

      ADAPTIVE MODE: Analyzes the content in real time and automatically provides an optimal sound field based on the content you are enjoying.

      DTS VIRTUAL:X MODE: Immersive 3D sound from any content.

      STANDARD MODE: Outputs the original sound.

      Press and hold the (Sound Control) button for about 5 seconds to adjust the sound for each frequency band. 150Hz, 300Hz, 600Hz, 1.2kHz, 2.5kHz, 5kHz, and 10kHz are selectable using the Left/Right buttons and each can be adjusted to a setting between -6 to +6 using the Up/Down buttons. (Make sure the Sound mode is set to “STANDARD”.

      By pressing the TONE CONTROL button, you can adjust the volume of the treble or bass sound. Press the button to select TREBLE or BASS and then adjust the volume between -6~+6 by using the Up/Down buttons.

      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.

      I hope these tips help you enjoy your new product.

    Just purchased a little over a year ago and it already has stopped working. The warranty only last for a year so I’m out of luck. We were watching tv one day and the subwoofer just stopped working and never turned on again despite being paired fine. Samsung tech support told me to just buy rear speakers. I regret this purchase. I refuse to put any more money into this piece of junk.

      WonderfulSonyProduct,

      Thank you for taking a few moments to review the Samsung HW-B650 Soundbar.

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

      First, you will want to download the latest software for 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 Audio” > “Home Audio” > “Sound Bars”. From there, you can select the HW-B650 under Standard Series.

      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.

      First, try doing a soft reset, unplug the soundbar from the outlet for roughly 30 seconds and then plug it back in.

      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 Live Chat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website.

    Never got mine. Never got a refund because BestBuy sucks. I have reported to my credit card and they are disputing it. You call and are on hold forever then you here someone answer but apparently because they don’t know how use it.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    This sounds better than tv speaker for sure, loud too. But I’m disappointed at the subwoofer. Sometime i have to feel it with my hand to make sure it’s working.

      Hello Forhan,

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the subwoofer on the new HW-B650 Soundbar. I am sorry to see that you are not fully satisfied with your soundbar.

      Follow these steps below to optimize your soundbar.
      Press and hold the (Sound Control) button for about 5 seconds to adjust the sound for each frequency band. 150Hz, 300Hz, 600Hz, 1.2kHz, 2.5kHz, 5kHz, and 10kHz are selectable using the Left/Right buttons and each can be adjusted to a setting between -6 to +6 using the Up/Down buttons. (Make sure the Sound mode is set to “STANDARD”.

      You can try adjusting 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.

      By pressing the TONE CONTROL button, you can adjust the volume of the treble or bass sound. Press the button to select TREBLE or BASS and then adjust the volume between -6~+6 by using the Up/Down buttons.

      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.

      Should you ever have questions or need help, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Soundbars), available 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week.

    Weak sound in a large family room.

    Below average sound. My 6 year old Vizio bar (similar price class) blows this out of the frame. If it wasn't for the lack of subwoofer, I would easily prefer the TV's audio. I will be returning and replacing this Soundbar!
