    I buy this open box, but don’t bring the rear speakers I picked this 1 hour from my home. They say fair but don’t say missing the rear speakers. The sound bar and subwoofer work great but missing rear speakers.

    Im sure the soundbar wouldve been decent, but my experience wasnt. I placed an "Open-box - Excellent" condition that states it is like new, with all original parts, packaging, and no signs of wear at all. When I got there (1 hour drive) to get it, i showed them my phone and he brought me a soundbar, out of the box, with no parts, and WITHOUT the 2 rear speakers or subwoofer. Turns out they gave my order to someone else by accident that morning (someone paid for a cheap soundbar and got mine worth $1400). Youd think theyd help, but it turned into a 3 hour deal in the store talking back and forth with managers. Finally was able to see they had the q930d in stock in open box good for $200 more, so asked them about that ones and the store manager was able to lower the price for me to what I originally paid. Ended ok, but absolutely shouldnt have happened, or taken that much time.

    I just purchased this system. Hooked up to the tv. And connected sub-woofer and wireless speakers. Have been troubleshooting for some time. But I don’t get sound from the sub-woofer and wireless speakers. Sound bar si fine. Contacted Samsung. They set up a chat and sent me troubleshooting steps. Problem is the troubleshooting was fo no sound in the sound bar. Any one have this problem, and potential solutions. Can’t rate higher at this point.

      Hello PatrickS,

      We appreciate you taking a few moments to review the Samsung HW-Q850D Soundbar.

      When powered on for the first time, the rear speakers and subwoofer should automatically connect wirelessly. If the auto-connection process fails, you can try manually connecting the sub and rears 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.

      To setup the wireless rear speaker kit included with the soundbar, first use the color-coded speaker wires to connect the rear speakers to its wireless module and place these three in the back of your room. Plug the wireless receiver module power cord into an electrical outlet and into the wireless receiver module to turn on the wireless receiver module.

      Press and hold the ID SET button on the back of the wireless module for at least 5 seconds or until the blue light starts blinking. Turn off your soundbar and press the Up button on the remote for 5 seconds. The ID SET message will appear on the soundbar for a short time and then disappear. After the ID SET process, the soundbar power is automatically turned on. The LINK LED indicator stops blinking and glows a solid blue when a connection is established between the soundbar and the wireless receiver module.

      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.
