      Hi RalphA,

      Thank you for taking a moment to review the Samsung HW-Q850D Soundbar.

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

      Before performing the manual connection procedure, check whether the power cables are connected properly and make sure that the Soundbar is turned off.

      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.

      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.

      Hi ClarkD,

      Thank you for taking a moment to review the Samsung 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.

      If you’d like more help with settings, please know we’re here to help! Call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (Ask for Soundbars), 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week. Or visit us on the Samsung website and click on the ‘Support’ link for:

      Hi Bmyers1313,

      Thank you for sharing your review of Samsung's HW-Q850D Soundbar.

      To optimize enjoyment from the subwoofer and rear speakers, activate Surround Sound expansion by pressing the “Sound Mode” button twice until you see “Surround” on the soundbar display. Dolby Digital content will also bring out the most from the rears and subwoofer; this content is very common with most over-the-air and cable channels supporting 3.1.2 when in High Definition.

    I can understand that when buying an open-box item there’s a risk that some parts might be missing, but in this case, out of seven components, only one was included — a real waste of time, especially after driving 30 minutes across the city to pick it up.
