Pound for pound best Samsung soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great soundbar for the price, especially if you pair it with a compatible Samsung TV. I'm using mine with the S90D, and the movie watching and gaming experience is incredible. What I like most about it is how powerful the subwoofer is and that the surround speakers aren't distracting when watching normal content like TV.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this. Some people had issues with setting it up, but for me it was quick and easy! The set up instructions that come with the system are not great, but going online and downloading the manual worked out great. Talks to my tv (Samsumg) and 4K Blue Ray player (Sony) with no issues. I absolutely love this sytem. It's perfect for my cozy living room.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat apartment/bedroom set up
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Entry level for improving soundscape. There are far better home theater options but they get expensive. However I do love this in the bedroom for some basic atmos support and a drastic improvement over tv speakers. Does not compare to a proper 7.2.1 system or a 5.2.1 set up, even a basic 2.1 stereo set up with proper bookshelf’s/floor standing speakers blows this out of the water in terms of quality. Recommended as basic upgrade to tv speakers, would work great for an apartment or bedroom where noise was a concern. For proper enthusiasts- do research into a proper system with an AVR.

Posted .Hi StephenB,
We appreciate you taking a few moments to review Samsung's HW-Q850D Soundbar.
You can adjust the Treble and Bass by pressing the TONE CONTROL button then use the UP/DOWN buttons to change the levels between -6 to +6.
By pressing the CH LEVEL button, you can adjust the volume of the available channels. Each time you press the CH LEVEL button it will switch to a different channel such as Center, Front Top, or Rear Level. After selecting the channel you wish to adjust, use the UP/DOWN buttons on the provided Soundbar remote to adjust the volume between -6 to +6.
If you would like louder (or softer) bass from your subwoofer, you can adjust the level by rocking the WOOFER button on the soundbar remote, and then adjusting the level from -6 to +6. To set the subwoofer volume level to 0, press the button in.
With the sound mode set to Standard, press and hold the Sound Control button for about 5 seconds to adjust the sound for each frequency band for precise audio adjustments. 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.

Posted .LarryG,
Thank you for purchasing the Samsung HW-Q850D Soundbar System which comes with a subwoofer and rear speaker kit. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts about the wireless description of the rear speakers and performance.
Occasionally, customers have trouble hiding and running speaker wires from the front of the room (where their soundbar is) to the back of their room (where they have their rear speakers). The Rear Speaker Kit eliminates that hassle. Connect the rear speakers to its wireless module and place these three in the back of your room. One wire is required to connect each rear speaker to the wireless module. Then plug in the power cable to the module. The “wireless” convenience is in connecting your soundbar and any other speakers at the front of the room to the rear speakers – this can now be done via Wi-Fi through the wireless module, eliminating any clutter of long wires running the length of your room.
By design, the surround speakers are supposed to simulate sounds happening behind the viewer. Therefore, most of the time the surround channels are only used for ambient sounds, which are naturally lower in volume.
However, there are a few settings you can change to adjust the surround effect to your preference:
1) Make sure that the source (e.g. TV output) is sending surround channels to the Soundbar. If the source is not capable of surround, then set the Surround mode to OFF on the Soundbar by pressing the Surround button on the remote.
2) If the source has surround channels, select the desired Sound Mode from the Soundbar remote.
3) Turn off Dynamic Range Control. This is done by pressing and holding the Sound Mode button while the Soundbar is in standby mode.
4) Increase the volume level of the surround speakers using the CH LEVEL button on the Soundbar remote control. Press the button on the soundbar remote, then select REAR LEVEL and use the Up/Down buttons to adjust the volume within a -6 to +6 range.
I hope these tips help to enhance your audio enjoyment. Should you need further assistance with this issue or have any questions, please contact Samsung Customer Support.
