Numbers on volume
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not like the fact there are no numbers in the volume bar & was going to take it back but was not provided with the customer service experience I expected by being a BB customer for so long. Do your research before you buy.

Posted .LindaM,
Thank you for taking a moment to review the Samsung HW-S50B Soundbar.
When you turn on the TV, the TV should turn on the soundbar and automatically switch from TV speakers to soundbar output. You should not be getting an echo.

Posted .Hello WilliamK,
We appreciate you taking a moment to review the HW-S50B Soundbar.
If 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. The soundbar should also turn on and off with the TV.
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.
Other manufacturer’s remotes may have to be enabled on your soundbar. First, turn Off the Soundbar. Once powered off, push up and hold the WOOFER button for 5 seconds. Each time you push the WOOFER button up and hold it for 5 seconds, the mode switches in the following order: “OFF-TV REMOTE” (Default mode), “SAMSUNG-TV REMOTE”, “ALL-TV REMOTE”. Please also make sure your speaker settings on the TV are set to External Speaker.
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.
