    The sound is okay especially volume wise. As a pretty much info-less interface , i find it useless. But the remote is pretty intuitive. Also, there is no dolby setting, even though it says it's still be compatible.

    Be sure you have the TV serial and model number before you purchase a soundbar. I mistakenly thought they would be universal mounts on a Samsung. It sounded great and when my IT guy was trying to mount it, he realized that it doesn't fit my TV. Fortunately BB let me return it after the 10 Days.

      Hello JoeF,

      We appreciate you taking a moment to review the Samsung HW-S50B Soundbar.

      To optimize your audio experience, please try the various sound modes this model offers. Press the SOUND MODE button on your remote, and then select your desired sound effect: DTS VIRTUAL:X, STANDARD, MUSIC, or ADAPTIVE.

      When you press the CH LEVEL button on the remote, you can adjust the volume of the CENTER speaker using the UP/DOWN buttons between -6 to +6. If the Rear Speakers (sold separately) are connected, the setting “Rear Level” is supported.

      You can further adjust TREBLE and BASS via the TONE CONTROL button using the UP/DOWN buttons on the remote between -6 to +6.

      Press and hold the SOUND CONTROL button for about 5 seconds to adjust the sound for each frequency band. 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. (Make sure the Sound mode is set to "Standard".

      If you are looking for additional bass, beyond what the HW-S50B can provide, consider adding the compatible SWA-W510 Wireless Subwoofer from Samsung to take your audio experience to the next level.

      I hope this tip helps improve your enjoyment. For more help, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (Ask for Soundbars), 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week. Live Chat with an agent as well as manuals, software, and warranty info can be found at the ‘Support’ link on our Samsung website.

    Works great with my Samsung 55” TV, doesn’t come with a woofer, but the Samsung Symphony setting uses the sound bar AND the TV speakers together for a rich, enjoyable sound.
