Product Manuals
Q: I have a 65 in Sony tv and wondered if this soundbar would work well on my Sony.
A: Yes...If you set the following settings...otherwise the system will seem to be under performing UNLESS you have an amplifying device between the speakers and TV. First - set the soundbar BASS setting to +6 and MOVIE. The go into the TV settings...sounds...expert settings...equalizer and max out the woofer setting. Then go into HDMI input audio format and set it to PCM. This means the sound received has already been decoded by the sending device; Set the Digital output format to DTS Neo 2:5. If you have the Samsung UHD BlueRay player - set its output to PCM as well. That means it does all decoding before sending sound to the sound bar. Your speakers and especially the woofer should be rocking and rolling now. You will now be blown away by the Blueray movie sound as well.
A: Hi all. I was displeased at first..until i hooked it to my phone via Bluetooth and it really bumped! Here is what youve gotta do: You need to use the hdmi cord (arc port) instead of included optical. Then mess with the settings on the TV audio. For newer Samsung TV, go to sound, exper settings, set hdmi input to Pcm, digital output to dts neo 2.5 will get you booming.
A: The volume button is tricky - don't press down on it like a button; it's really a toggle switch. Place your thumb below the "button" and push it UP to increase the volume or DOWN to decrease it. I thought the same thing until we figured it out.
Q: What is the difference between this model HW-M550/ZA and the HW-K550/ZA?
A: I was told by an employee the k550 models were from 2016. And the m550 model is from 2017.
A: You can connect the HDMI ARC port on the TV to the HDMI Out port of the soundbar. That the best way. Its more better than Optical as HDMI passes more audio types than optical.
A: 39 7/8" end to end
A: This Soundbar is not capable of 4K/HDR passthrough so your tv won’t register 4K content without being directly hooked up to the source material. You may have to use the optical cable to be able to watch 4K content while having the sound from the bar. Also I have read several articles about the bass and I guess you have to go into your tv settings as well as turn up the bass on sub to +6. If you change your tv settings after that, you should be able to get more bass out of it. Just look up tv settings for bass for the Soundbar and you should get a few articles about it. Hope this helps out!!
A: Older TV won't necessarily have the HDMI ARC connection. I have an older Samsung that I had an old Samsung soundbar hooked to via the optical cable. It worked fine. I could adjust volume with TV remote. My TV has HDMI ports but the are not HDMI ARC ports. So I hooked it up with the optical cable again. The result is the soundbar works but I no longer can control the sound with my TV remote. Checked with support and in order to control via TV remote, I have to have HDMI ARC port.
