    My mother, 97, is hard of hearing and ruinened the tv speaker. The sound bar was cheaper than a new TV.

    sound level frustrations

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I never had a sound bar previously but was looking for something to help with clarity rather than having to increase volume. I read through these reviews and mostly liked what I heard so purchased this along with the optic cable. It took a call to Samsung to find the necessary "PCM" audio setting buried in the menu but all else when smoothly with the hook-up and I am, overall, very satisfied with the sound quality. It has now been 3 weeks of adjustment and my only real issue is with the remote and volume. Having a 3rd remote is a PITA but I can live with that (although finding the tiny remote in the dark can be frustrating-LOL). What I am NOT happy about is the volume control . I had already read that there is no graph or bar on screen which was a bit disappointing but acceptable. The big issue is the increments, or lack of, in volume adjustment. At least in my home's setup I am finding that the volume is either not quite enough if the fridge or furnace blower kick in or, the next step up is loud enough to disturb those in the next room. I haven't tried the bluetooth for music yet but there is no doubt the volume will go plenty high and I expect the sound quality will be fine. Even after 3 weeks I find I am constantly pushing the up and down volume buttons, all in vain as the end result is the same. I would recommend this but with this caveat and it may very well be my home's configuration as I don't recall reading others with this concern.
