I revd this as a gift and it went together well EXCEPT that the instructions were lacking. But what they lacked, the service dept. provided. Make sure you have time to wait on hold tho! After that it was a snap to set up and I'm very happy with the sound and the remote is very simple to operate. All in all, I'm very happy that we are getting all the sound we need for TV and movies.
Cons: really bad instructions
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome compliment to my Samsung UHDTV

This thing rocks! Not as great as some of the other more expensive options from Samsung. I believe it was the 6000 series where I really heard a huge difference in the sound. But that was also twice the price. This one does the job just perfect for my 55" Samsung UHDTV.
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fantastic Soundbar

I was a little apprehensive going with this model over the least expensive Samsung soundbar and other competitors but I'm glad I bought it. It connects automatically with my Samsung SmartTV and the sound is very clear. It has multiple modes you can play around with.
Pros: Durable, Lightweight, great clarity
I would recommend this to a friend!

(Almost) exactly what I was looking for

I set out to get a compact soundbar that would interface seamlessly with our Samsung LN46A650 television, so that the rest of our audio system could be eliminated.
The performance of the soundbar (that is, the sound!) is excellent, better than I expected.
The controls / features provided on the soundbar also exceeded expectations.
It was in the completeness of the interface with the television that everything worked except for one thing.
1) Anynet+ = TV is compatible, allows me use HDMI cable to control sound and muting from TV remote.
2) Auto off = TV is compatible, will shut off both TV and soundbar when "Off" button is pressed on TV remote.
3) The missing factor: our TV is several years old, and DOES NOT support the ARC (audio return channel) feature that the soundbar and our HDMI cable supports. Therefore, the power button on the TV remote will not turn ON the soundbar (although, per #2 above, the TV remote will turn the soundbar OFF).

This audio system was very easy to setup and sounds great. no need to cut speakers into my ceiling or run cabling all over the room. the soundbar and subwoofer give me all of the power I need to truly enjoy my viewing experience.
Pros: Inexpensive, easy to setup, quality sound
Cons: can't control it with the tv remote using digital
I would recommend this to a friend!
