Customer reviews for Samsung 4.1 Channel Soundbar w/Subwoofer - HW C47M forLove my sound system
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my sound system almost solely for television and movies. The system's size is easily manageable and looks great in the entertainment center, under my wall mounted television. I've never had any issues with blown or cracking speakers and we've definitely tested it very close to its upper limits.
Crap soundbar with the rest
The soundbar is trash after turning it up once with alternative rock it started to make an ugly sound on the right side. Very disappointed in the power, the ONN BLAST 5.1 is louder but cheaper quality material. Subwoofer is very nice but lacks real bump with some music. Two rear l/r speakers are great!

Great bedroom surround sound.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I mainly use the B-series speakers in my bedroom to watch movies and shows to relax after working all day. I like the ease of only having to use the Samsung TV remote to control everything because the sound system automatically connects when near the TV. The sound is great for bedroom use. If I had to complain about something, the rear wireless speakers could be a bit louder, but I could just be skipping over a setting or something. All in all, I am glad I purchased them.
Hello WorkAholic, We are glad to hear you're enjoying your 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.

VERY GOOD FOR A BUDGET UNIT
You're suppose to get a better sound quality using an HDMI (ARC) connection and I did't realized this system has NO HDMI (ARC) connection. I though that would be pretty much standard in this day and age, although, the sound quality is still very good using an optical connection, especially for the budget price of the system. I'm only using this in the bedroom. I didn't try connecting to the TV using bluetooth since I have so many bluetooth devices already operating. When connecting to my ALEXA, Alexa had no problem finding or connecting to the sound system, even though another reviewer mentioned she couldn't. The bluetooth connection has to be done on the app using your phone though. Maybe she didn't try that or her app is out of date. You do LOOSE THE ABILITY to play on the "EVERYWHERE GROUP" though.
Ok could have been great
Speakers are loud and clear but I was expecting more. It is listed as 4.1 but it uses a virtual center speaker that is broadcast in all 4 speakers, which drowns out the rear channel. I am using the optical out with the same results from 5.1 sources. When running the speaker tests that test each channel Front R L and Mid all play on the corresponding rear speaker.

To increase the rear speaker levels, press the CH LEVEL button on the provided Soundbar remote.

This product Is very sleek and can match any room
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just simple hookup and I use my Samsung surround sound and bass for all my sounds. Especially movie night with the family sounds like your right in the movie yourself 100% recommend it in your household....
Gets loud but 4.1 isn't what I was expecting.
I bought this from my local Walmart. Set up is simple but instructions are rough. This thing will get very loud which is cool. The rear speakers are pointless to me, every setting and every position I tried which where many, you can not hear them they make no difference in the sound to be honest. 95 percent of the sound I get is from the bar itself and that is even with center on -6 and rears on 6. They just don't match the price point I paid for this thing. Having said all that. It does work but just not amazing quality in sound distribution.

honestly thought it was worth the money especially the current deal they have going but even full price worth the money its very easy to set up instructions are a bit basic but you can Google the model and find much more detailed instructions. so definitely worth doing
A Must-Have for home entertainment
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung sound bar has exceeded all of my expectations. The sound is incredibly powerful and immersive, making movie nights at home feel like a trip to the theater. The build quality is top-notch and the sleek design blends seamlessly with my other home entertainment equipment. I highly recommend this sound bar to anyone looking to elevate their audio experience.
