Nice Sound System
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this to replace an old sound system we bought about ten years ago and should have replaced a lot sooner. Technology has improved so much and I am so glad I chose this system. So much easier to hook up! Nice clear sound and woofer box which makes TV more enjoyable.

Mating this sound bar up with my new Samsung 4K
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried an off brand sound bar and it would not connect bt bluetooth, However this sound bar connects effortlessly and comes on with the set. Only one remote for everything is a plus. The last best feature is no wires to the sub woofer, over 20 feet away from the main unit and still able to knock your socks off.

Bought this with my 55 inch Samsung TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I can not get the Bluetooth to connect with my iPhone 7. I read and followed instructions from Google but still doesn't work. Bummer

Good System- Not The Best, But Happy Customer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall this is a good system. The sound is clear and clean. As other reviews mentioned the bass is lacking but for me personally that isn't too bad. We have this set up in a log home with high-ceilings so the acoustics travel - overall I am pleased with the purchase, especially at the sale price I purchased it at. If it would have been full price my opinion may be slightly different but the sale price was a great price point. My recommendation would be to do your research and actually test out a few soundbars to understand if this one is right for you. Overall I am happy with this product and I did pair it with the 2 satellite speakers as well - which I do highly recommend. Installation and setup were a breeze as well - it just took a few minutes and everything was set up and working.

Bought this to improve sound on 55” Samsung TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a Man Cave TV with awful sound, my stereo plays great stereo but I wanted something with a center channel and surround sound. I looked, listened and researched. For a few bucks more I went with the 3.1 which has the extra center channel and I’m glad I did. Hooked easy to my TV and stereo with Digital Input, Aux input and it does have an HDMI port as well. What I didn’t realize is Samsung TV’s auto connect to this unit and it controls sound and volume which is a great feature. I find this sound bar to be exactly what I’m looking for for my space and price was about right. Not the sound of my expensive sound system in my living room with 5 speakers but good none the less. I find myself streaming music through TV and using the sound bar rather than the stereo, perfect for the size room. Remember if your a sound expert this is not going to give you super sound but sounds great for the price. There is a BOSE I would of liked to have but it was more than double the price. You can also pair this with wireless Samsung speakers, am considering but not an urgent issue right now. There are sound settings for STANDARD, MUSIC, SPORTS, CLEAR VOICE sound which all seem to work well. Overall I’m pleased and would purchase again, why 4 stars...I have a stereo with 4 speakers and music sounds way better out of the stereo than the one (3-speaker) sound bar, just saying.

Does not disappoint
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this Samsung sound bar and subwoofer to replace our old Samsung Sound bar to go with our new Sony 65" X750D tv. It is awesome. Didn't realize how outdated our previous Sound bar was. So incredibly Easy to set-up. We paired this with a wireless rear speaker setup and the total package creates an excellent surround sound experience for an affordable price. I would certainly recommend this sound bar to anyone in the market, or who wants to replace their old one. Cheers!

Good soundbar at Christmas sale price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds good. Is first soundbar purchase so cannot compare to what other sound bars would sound like in our home setting. Easy set up. Have not been able to get to sync with LG TV remote. Using included remote is quite simple, just a second remote to deal with, somewhat inconvenient. As other reviewers have stated the bass of sub-woffer is not as good as expected, fairly faint. Setting the treble down and the bass up has helped.

Q: QuestionI have a 65 in Sony tv and wondered if this soundbar would work well on my Sony.
Asked by Merry64.
- A:Answer 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.

Q: QuestionI bought this unit a couple days ago and it has very little bass. I have gone over the manual and done all step by step as in the manual. I called Samsung and they said to get good bass watch a movie with a lot of explosions. Movie soundtracks? No bass.
Asked by rsbob.
- A:Answer 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.

Q: QuestionI just bought this Samsung - 3.1 -Channel Soundbar System. The remote volume button only goes to Mute or Vol. 20. Can't turn it up or down. Why? Is it becuz that remote isn't synced to my Time Warner remote yet? Or something else?
Asked by shmily.
- A:Answer 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: QuestionWill this work if we don't have an optical input in the back of TV? It's a 2015 55" Hitachi smart tv, but there are only HDMI and USB slots. we really need more sound and I want to order this, but don't know if we have the right setup for it.
Asked by Anita.
- A:Answer 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.

Q: QuestionI bought this a week ago and when hook up hdmi to direct tv 4K mini it says my tv is not 4K compatible. Is this sound bar not the 2.2 compatible. Also my base on my sub isn’t very loud any hints. Ty
Asked by Jg22.
- A:Answer 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!!

Q: QuestionMy Samsung TV doesn't have an HDMI ARC port, only HDMI ports (4) and an HDMI/DIV port. I tried using the HDMI ports but it won't work. I tried the optical cable and it work. Are HDMI ARC ports for new TV sets only?
Asked by Pao.
- A:Answer 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.
