I would recommend this to a friend not as promised
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Kind of blech on this. My one issue is that it does not turn on when the tv turns on which it said it would. I have to physically turn on the device every time. It does not work with the Samsung tv remote.

Posted .Hello Tami,
Thank you for taking a few moments to review the Samsung HW-S50B Soundbar. We value your feedback and will share it with our teams.
As long as your soundbar is connected to your TV with either an optical cable or HDMI via ARC, you can control the volume and mute the soundbar using your Samsung TV's remote.
1) Use the TV remote to navigate to Settings, select Sound, and then select Sound Output on your Samsung TV.
2) Select your Samsung soundbar, and then select Close. Now you can use your TV remote to adjust volume and mute the soundbar. The soundbar should also turn on and off with the TV.
By default, Samsung TV remotes should be able to control Samsung soundbars. If it isn't working, be sure the soundbar is powered on, and then press and hold the WOOFER button up until "ON - TV REMOTE" appears on the display (about 5 seconds). Next, you'll need to choose between connecting with an optical cable or an HDMI cable.
In all configurations (Optical, Bluetooth, ARC, and Wi-Fi) when the TV is turned ON, the Soundbar will turn ON. If your soundbar is not turning on, it could be due to another reason. For example, if the Soundbar was used to connect to another device (say a smart phone), then it will remember the last device (smart phone) and wait for a command from that device (the smartphone) and ignore the TV ON command.
You may want to try using a HDMI-ARC connection to the TV. When the TV turns ON, it will send a command to turn on the Soundbar and forces the source on the Soundbar to change to HDMI-ARC. This would make the Soundbar change the source from the prior state it was in.
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. Live Chat with an agent as well as manuals, software, creating a service ticket, and warranty info can be found at the ‘Support’ link on our Samsung website.

Great Soundbar for Improving TV sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great soundbar for improving TV sound, intergrates well with my Samsung TV. With TV and sounbar speakers on, no delay echo like some other soundbars I have owned. If your looking for some high powered speakers that can shake your house, this is not for you. However, if you want to boost and upgrade your TV sound and not break the bank, this thing fits the bill nicely.

Decent Soundbar
|Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a pretty decent soundbar. Solid bass for not having a subwoofer, and voices are pretty clear. I have this hooked up to my 43" Samsung Q60A, and I've had a pretty good experience with it.

Great Soundbar at the Price Point
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to use with a Samsung TV and its Q-Symphony feature. I am very pleased with the outcome. The spatial presence is very expansive while dialog clarity is front, center and very good thanks to the dedicated center driver. Bass present enough to satisfy but not heavy.
