Hello Sparks, We appreciate you sharing your feedback regarding the performance of the Samsung HW-S800D Soundbar. To take full advantage of your new soundbar, download the SmartThings App to your smart device. This will allow you to control your soundbar as you would with the provided remote, but with the added advantage of seeing what changes you make on your device. To optimize your audio experience, please try the various sound modes this model offers. Press the SOUND MODE button on your remote, and then select your desired sound effect: ADAPTIVE SOUND, DTS VIRTUAL:X, MUSIC, GAME, STANDARD. When you press the SOUND MODE button it will change to the different modes in the above order. You can further adjust TREBLE and BASS via the TONE CONTROL button. Also, you can also add the SWA-9500S Rear Speaker Kit to create a multi-channel system for a true surround sound experience. I hope this tip helps improve your enjoyment.
