Our 7 yr old Panasonic HDTV has down firing speakers, so some of its sound is absorbed by the carpet (TV is wall mounted) and furniture place below it. Likewise many movies have much ambient sound that sometimes make voices difficult to understand.
This soundbar was easy to install with 2 simple screws/wall anchors assembly and the included brackets. Likewise the included optical D.IN cable made connection to the TV very simple and quick. Following the instructions on page 12 of the manual we were able to simply connect our TWC cable remote to operate the on/off/mute functions. We are also pleased that the outward facing soundbar provides improved clarity of vocals as well as additional sounds our TV speakers were unable to reproduce. The center channel seems to have helped immensely with the clarity and the sound effect option of "clear" has also been used several times. We are pleased with our selection of this 3.1 Samsung soundbar.

Cannot get the remote to work with it. Thought it was us but had a professional audio/video installer check it and he just shook his head and said "what a waste".

Remote Control

Not sure which remote you could not get it to work with (Samsung Sound bar, Samsung TV or Other TV brand or Cable box remote). I followed the instructions on page 12 of the manual for my TWC cable box remote and it worked. However the procedure apparently does not work for TV ARC or HDMI mode!! I am using the optical D.IN mode for my TV connection. The soundbar turns ON when the TV and Cable box turn on HOWEVER I have noticed that the soundbar/sub have a delay of up to 20 minutes when TV/CABLE BOX are turned off. One thing I found on the Samsung website but not in the manual is something called AUTO POWER LINK. It must be set to ON for the soundbar to automatically turn on when it detects digital signal. By pressing and holding the LEFT ARROW (BACK) BUTTON NEXT TO SOUND CONTROL for 5 secs it will display either APL ON or APL OFF. You definitely want that to be in the ON (ENABLED) position to react to your remote!!
