Quality Sound that Can't Be Matched
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After first trying the C400 series soundbar with my new Samsung television, I moved up to the quality sound of the Channel S-series. I haven't been disappointed. For most of the programs that I watch, I chose not to combine the tv speakers with the soundbar. For the money, I could not have asked for a better sound!

Soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrible sounds, doesn't even sounds you bought a soundbar. Doesn't connect easy, the remote control is really not helpful. There's no indications on to say its on or not. Or tje volume going up or down. Return and went with a different brand altogether

Better than TV Speakers

Posted .Steve,
I'm sorry to hear that you are not fully satisfied with the performance of the HW-S60B.
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".
I hope this tip helps improve your sound experience. Should you need further assistance with features, functions, settings, or adjustments, please contact Samsung Customer Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG (Ask for Soundbars), 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week.

Mo’s Review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar is unparalleled in functionality and net all my expectations. If you want something simple that saves space yet delivers exactly the audio you need at a reasonable price, then look no further! It has the easy bluetooth connect, and just the amount of audio I need to showcase a difference between the TV’s audio without causing too much disturbance.

Posted .Hi PatriciaB,
We appreciate you taking a few moments 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. There are 2 ways to connect your soundbar with HDMI: you can connect a device to your soundbar (like a Blu-ray player) and then connect the soundbar to the TV, or you can use HDMI ARC. The first method will give you the best possible sound from external devices you regularly use. ARC is the way to go if you want great sound from streaming apps on your TV and a soundbar.
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.
