Rear speakers are wired not wireless

Sounds great - good value for the money, especially if you buy on a Black Friday sale. But the fact that the rear speakers are wired is kind of lame. The description says "wireless rear surround sound speakers". What you actually get is a right and left rear channel speaker, so two rear speakers, which are wired to a transmitter that has to be plugged into the wall. This is kind of a pain with all the wiring involved and far from what I was picturing.

Loud but slightly misleading

Overall it’s a quality system especially when on discount however the only Bluetooth device seems to be the sound bar and not the side speakers which takes away from the surround sound I was expecting. Overall a good system, but consider a different option if you want a 360 field of sound.

Awesome sound for the price

Last 2 systems I bought either ended up in the trash because they rattled or stuffed away in the closet because they required a separate remote to control! Absolutely thrilled that this gives crisp, clear sound and is NOT proprietary in connecting with the Satellite Company’s remotes! So, I’m finally getting clear sound and NOT adding another remote to lose!!! I couldn’t be happier!

Rear Channels dont function independently

Front and Center play along with the rear singals. thus making these essentally a stereo setup. i am connected via the optical connection with no luck. i had to use an optial extractor in the current room due to no optical out on the projector. will try moving to the tv room which has a dedicated optical passthrough and see jd that improves the setup. the extractor is rated to passthrough 5.1 so i dont see the issue

Hello Troy, Thank you for sharing your review regarding the HW-C47M Soundbar. I understand your frustrations and we are here to help. First, check to make sure that your projector is capable of 5.1 Audio. If it is not, then it will not send the correct channels to the rear speakers. Next, using your Soundbar remote, press Sound Mode until you see either Game or Surround. These Sound Modes will allow the Soundbar to properly send the extra channels to the correct speakers. Should you ever have questions or need help, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Soundbars), available 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week. For additional support resources, visit us on the Samsung website and click on the ‘Support’ link in the upper right corner of the homepage for: 1) Chat with Us/Product Help: To begin a chat or find solutions, choose ‘TVs & Home Theater’ and select your model & topic. 2) Manuals & Software 3) Warranty Info 4) Register a Product: For access to easy warranty support, convenient opt-in to special promos and offers, faster troubleshooting and service, and quick notification of system updates 5) Contact Us ~ Samsung Solutions

Decent sound

I like the system overall. The sound up down and subwoofer buttons are confusing at first . I read a review where someone said you cant adjust volume but you can . push up or down directly on volume or sub buttons to adjust . push up towards top of remote or down towards bottom . hope this help

Not really happy with my purchase as of yet.

I like that the speaker for tv works great, but it doesn't give me the surround sound in the back like my other brand system did. The instructions that came with it, doesn't five me any instructions on how to make more adjustments for the back speakers, just the front. Not really sure if I like the system itself.

Hi Tracy, Thank you for taking a moment to review the HW-C47M Soundbar. Please know, there are various settings you can adjust to improve your experience with the rear speakers. You can adjust the volume of the rear speakers by using the remote included with the connected soundbar. Press the CH LEVEL button on the soundbar remote, then select REAR LEVEL and use the Up/Down buttons to adjust the volume within a -6 to +6 range. Additionally, make sure that the source (e.g. TV output) is sending surround channels to the Soundbar. If you are using a format such as PCM, you may experience decreased volume to the rear speakers. Select Bitstream, Auto, or Pass-Through as these settings will allow the TV to send the correct channels to the rear speakers. I hope these tips help to enhance your audio enjoyment. Should you need further assistance with this issue or have any questions, please contact Samsung Customer Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8AM - 12AM EST (Ask for Soundbars), 7 days a week.

Surround sound for beginners and small areas

It only has a digital cable - No hdmi so it was connected straight to the tv - works great good decent sound / and decent bass and the back speakers are connected to a modem that works great from across the room - took a lil to connect though but otherwise for my kids room works great

lets see. where do i start. the menu screen is behind the black speaker cover so its hard to see. the rear speakers are not on. the rear speaker wires are cheap and extremely short. so u will see wires on ur wall about 10ft apart from each other. nonsense Bluetooth set up. need to figure out how to get the back speakers on. Vizio is much better. just get the 10in sub.

Hi Nick, We appreciate you taking a few moments to review the Samsung HW-C47M Soundbar. Occasionally, customers have trouble hiding and running speaker wires from the front of the room (where their soundbar is) to the back of their room (where they have their rear speakers). The Rear Speaker Kit eliminates that hassle. Connect the rear speakers to its wireless module and place these three in the back of your room. One wire is required to connect each rear speaker to the wireless module. Then plug in the power cable to the module. The “wireless” convenience is in connecting your soundbar and any other speakers at the front of the room to the rear speakers – this can now be done through the wireless module, eliminating any clutter of long wires running the length of your room. There are a few things you may want to check: 1) The maximum wireless signal transmission distance is about 33 ft. 2) Electronic devices may cause radio interference. Devices that generate electromagnetic waves should be kept away from the Soundbar main unit - e.g., microwaves, wireless LAN devices, etc. 3) Also, please be sure you have the latest firmware update. You can update your firmware by Auto Update, using the SmartThings app, or by using a USB device. You can find the update on the product page of your HW-C47M on the Samsung website. Should you need further assistance with this issue, or have any questions about features or operation, please know that Samsung is here to help. Just give us a call at 1-800-SAMSUNG (Ask for Soundbars), 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week. Our Live Chat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website. ~ Samsung Solutions

a must have!

What a noticeable difference! I wanted to use a movie that might show the contrast and I did. I used the opening scean of Saving Private Ryan and the difference was jaw dropping! Easy to setup too and I am a 100% disabled veteran and only took me 30 mins!

This "Sound System" totally SUCKS !! :(

This is more than a Soundbar so I call it a "Sound system". AND IT "SUCKS" in every way possible !! IT'S NOT GOOD IN ANY WAY = AVOID AT ALL COSTS !! I ended up buying "VIZIO M-Series AiO All-In-One 2.1 Sound Bar (M213AD-K8).... IT ROCKS IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE !! The VIZIO all-in-one Soundbar was the very best purchase I've made in many years = IT'S THAT GOOD for only $160 !! :)
