||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn't know I had to purchase another part to use my headphones to work and also I have problems with the voice being off from the people talking. I was told to purchase another part to get it to work. not happy with all the extra cost. If I new this from the start maybe I wouldn't by the sound bar. It would have been nice if they told me that when I purchased it.

Posted .Hello RonaldT,
Thank you for sharing your review of the HW-S50B Soundbar. I'm sorry to see that your experience in store was less than ideal.
To help with any audio sync issues, follow the steps below. Press the SOUND CONTROL button (which looks like a gear) until you hear SYNC and then set the audio delay between 0~300 milliseconds by using the Up/Down buttons on the provided Soundbar remote.
Also, go in to your TV settings to find the Digital Audio Output Format within Sound or Expert Settings. From here make sure that it is set to Pass-Through if this is an option. This will allow the TV to help correct any audio sync issues you may be experiencing.
Should you ever have questions or need help, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Soundbars), available 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week.

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.

I would recommend this to a friend Inconvenient switch from TV to soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As expected, the soundbar provides a greater volume range than only the TV at a budget price point. The downside is that when the TV is first powered on, the volume is the TV setting which is much higher than the soundbar setting. As the sound transitions to the soundbar, there is no sound. Once the soundbar is activated, the volume is what it was set at before the TV was turned off.

Posted .Hello Soupy,
We appreciate you taking the time to review the Samsung HW-S50B Soundbar.
If available, we recommend using the HDMI connection to your TV.
Connecting your soundbar to a TV through HDMI will provide the best audio and user experience, often eliminating any connection or delay issues you may be experiencing.
Please make sure your soundbar is using the latest firmware Version. Updating the firmware on your soundbar gives you all the benefits of the latest improvements. When the Soundbar is connected to the Internet, Auto Update allows software to update automatically even when the Soundbar is turned off. You can also update by using the SmartThings app.
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.
