    Good sound bar but I just wish there were an easier way to tell when you switch inputs instead of looking at the lights on top of it. I returned it cause it wasn’t Compatible with my x90j . Had some delays connecting with the tv when turning it on and it was annoying. ( it was connected to HDMI Arc)

    Mixed feelings. Will cut out automatically during viewing and wont turn back on. Will have unplug and plug back in for it to reconnect. Sounds great when it works, sounds like nothing when it doesn’t. Only worth it when it’s on sale

    • Brand response from Samsung

      Hi AlexfromBestBuy,

      I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with the sound occasionally dropping from your soundbar. You may first want to check the cable connection of the soundbar to the TV or external device to ensure it is secure, and properly connected to the correct port.

      In addition to checking the connections of the soundbar, please make sure your soundbar is using the latest firmware version (v.1508.0). Updating the firmware on your soundbar gives you all the benefits of the latest improvements.

      You may also want to initialize your soundbar by pressing the - and + (volume) buttons on the side of the soundbar at the same time for at least 5 seconds. The light indicator on the front of the soundbar will blink 4 times and the soundbar will be reset. Please know, this will reset all settings on the soundbar back to default; any sound adjustments will need to be performed again.

      Should you continue to experience audio dropouts, and are connected wirelessly, please use the included cable to connect the soundbar to the TV. Using a wired connection instead of wireless often eliminates the issue entirely and improves the user experience.

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

    The sound bar is great. I would like to talk with someone about the wall mount for the Sony TV. I am concerned that I purchased the wrong mount, because it seems that the TV tilts down. I am wondering if the wall mount is too small or the wrong type. Please reach out to me to discuss.

    Setup was easy. Some popping and the occasional disconnect. Sound quality is average. Just wanted louder than the TV itself. If I had to do it all over again, I’d get the Roku soundbar.
