Posted .Hi GregB,
Thank you for taking a few moments to review the Samsung HW-B650 Soundbar.
When powered on for the first time, the subwoofer should automatically connect to the soundbar wirelessly. If the auto-connection process fails, you can try manually connecting the sub to the soundbar.
Before performing the manual connection procedure, check whether the power cables for the Soundbar and subwoofer are connected properly and make sure that the Soundbar is turned off.
Press and hold ID SET on the rear of the subwoofer for at least 5 seconds. The red indicator on the rear of the subwoofer turns off and the blue indicator blinks. Press and hold the Up button on the remote control for at least 5 seconds. The ID SET message appears on the display of the Soundbar for a moment, and then it disappears. The Soundbar will automatically power on when ID SET is complete. The LINK LED indicator stops blinking and glows a solid blue when a connection is established between the Soundbar and the Wireless Subwoofer.
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.

Great soundbar for dialogue
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are one of those that has issues understanding dialogue thru your TVs built-in speakers, this Samsung soundbar is amazing. Our 65" Samsung TV had a terribly irritating whistle with words with 'S' in them. At times i thought it was the smoke alarm in 'chirp mode'. That is completely gone with this soundbar. Its too bad other soundbars havn't figured out how to do this. The reason for the 3 stars is, after reading all the reviews, i was also expecting live concert sounding music shows. Not happening. My previous 3 letter soundbar had far too much bass but dialogue was muddy, no matter what sound mode i put it in. This Samsung is pretty good at low to mid level volume settings but for rock concerts, there's just no depth or midrange, even with the center channel maxed out. Ive moved the sub all around the room and tried every possible option with the remote and it leaves me wanting. Maybe the room is cursed. My origional 5.1 reciever/tower speakers/center and rear speakers was embarassing. I thought a high-powered soundbar and huge sub woofer would fill the bill but that too was aweful. Way too much bass and no midrange or depth. Lead guitar and horns almost didnt exist. Im not one of those that has to have chest-crushing bass with movies or music but i thought this unit, in a mid-sized living room would give a more lifelike sound. Fortunately, 85% of my viewing experience is older movies and documentaries so the excellent voice delivery is its saving grace. Thank you Samsung for giving some thought to those with compromised hearing for dialogue.

Posted .Hello,
Thank you for sharing your review of the HW-B650 Soundbar. We appreciate you taking the time, and this will be shared with our product team.
There are a few different ways you can optimize your Soundbar. We do recommend using a HDMI cable as this will offer the best audio and user experience available. If you have not tried to adjust the 7-band EQ, 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”).
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.

Very good soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased the Samsung HW-B650 soundbar in store, the customer rep was helpful in the selection although I had researched the item on-line. The hookup was easy on my Samsung TV. The woofer adds a new sound dimension.
