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 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.

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.

Nice basic system
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This system does a nice job processing 5.1 sound. The clearvoice is also nice, I am slightly hard of hearing and this setting helps. I looked at reviews after buying the bar and agree its a must to get the surround speakers as an add on. They are not totally wireless but the setup works fine in my room. The bar and surround speaker set up was intuitive. I ran into the same snag as others with surround setup where it says push down on the volume button to pair. Its easy to mistake for volume down direction when all you do is press straight in as if muting. This cost me about 5 minutes. I have had some house shaking theatre systems in the past and this is not one of those. For what it is and the cost and quality I consider this to be an excellent purchase. My cost was around $340 for the bar system and back speakers.

Glad to have 3.1
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This past Christmas 2017 I bought the Samsung 2.1 430 soundbar and love it - it really is a great, affordable, feature-packed sound bar. The challenge I have with the 430 is simple - I had it mounted underneath my 55" Samsung 4k in my living room....which means it's a bit less wide than the 55" TV and looks kinda foolish, and, coming from a 5.1 surround system to a 2.1 for my living room the 430 just wasn't cutting it for such a large, open space. I moved the 430 to my master bedroom and have it mounted under a 40" Samsung LED..and it looks and sounds perfect. On to the 3.1. --- I had my eye on this for awhile and was waiting until the new models came out so BB would put this on clearance, OR, until I could find an open-box for a decent price. As luck would have it, BB had an open-box 3.1 550 in Downers Grove, IL for a steal. Now, the subwoofer has some obvious imperfections and visible 'scars' on it, but the sub will be hidden out of sight. No dings to Samsung or BB for that whatsoever. The person who had this before me simply didn't take care of this and that's on them. With the 550, I picked up the third speaker/center channel, the soundbar itself is several inches wider than the 430, meanwhile also contains the same key features as the 430. I was very happy to get this and for a great price. It looks much better mounted under my 55" family room television, sounds every bit or better than the 430, and if need be down the road, this model allows you to buy and pair the Samsung rear wireless speaker kit. So you can make this a 5.1 home theater if you wish. Positives: + Mounting this (and the 430 model) is simple - took me ten minutes per soundbar + Subwoofer pairing is simple - no hiccups + Bluetooth works perfectly + Digital in, HDMI, AUX, BT all provide you with the options you need to play movies/cable, music, or gaming + Affordable + Best Buy had this marked down to $200, then gave me 10% off for it being a floor model, and I had a $5 RZ certificate to use. All in for around $190 I was thrilled! Ding: - As mentioned above, the previous owner didn't seem to care too much about the subwoofer

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!!
