Love 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.

Great sound, no HDMI input, won't work with Alexa

I'm not an audiophile, but I think the sound quality is excellent. I can finally understand what people are saying on TV, and the bass is very full. I didn't realize when I bought it that it doesn't support HDMI connection, so be aware of that. Your TV must either support Bluetooth or optical connection. This may not matter to most, but some may want to know you won't be able to connect it to your Alexa/Echo device. Not even with a simple Bluetooth connection. I suspect other voice assistants won't see it, either. I only wanted to use it as a speaker connected to my living room Echo, since the Echo Show 8's speaker is sub-par, and didn't care if Alexa could actually control it, but they simply cannot see each other. So, instead of simply asking Alexa to play music - like I do in the rest of my house - I'll have to connect my phone and do it through there, which doesn't allow me to use the multi-room music capability of Alexa. Frustrating and disappointing, since it's supposed to accept bluetooth connections, but the sound quality is good enough (and I'm lazy enough) that I won't return it.

Hello Denise, Thank you for sharing your review of the new HW-C47M Soundbar. I am sorry to see that there might have been some confusion about its features. For a Soundbar to work with Alexa, it does require a Wi-Fi internet connection. The HW-C47M Soundbar is not able to connect to the internet, which is why it will not work with Alexa or any other voice assistant. If you are looking for a Soundbar that can connect to and use voice commands from Alexa, you will want to look at upgrading to the HW-Q700C Soundbar. 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.

solved my issues

it let me focus the sound to be pointed at me while in bed and i can use it at a much lower volume compared to the TV speakers. since the walls are thin here everyone always had a problem trying to sleep because they could hear my TV even though i could barely hear what was going on. the sound bar solved that problem and it let me hear the little knocks and bumps that i couldn't hear before paranormal videos.

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.

Hello CFLacky, Thank you for sharing your review of the HW-C47M Soundbar. There are a few steps you can take to improve your overall experience. To increase the rear speaker levels, press the CH LEVEL button on the provided Soundbar remote. You will see REAR LEVEL on your Soundbar and use the UP/DOWN buttons on the remote to increase/decrease the volume levels of your rears. Make sure that your Audio Digital Format within your TV is set to Bitstream, Auto, or Pass-Through. If your TV is set to PCM, then you will only receive a stereo experience. Also using the Soundbar remote, press the SOUND MODE button to use either Game or Surround Modes. These Sound Modes will send the audio channels correctly to the rear 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.

Bring the movie theater to your home!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Superb sound and amazing clarity you fill like your at the movie theaters with all your friends and family over for a movie night. Do not go and buy a regular sound bar and expect it to preform like this one either. I would put this up against any surround sound and this one would blow the competition away.

No Regrets

Great connectivity. It works great w. my Samsung smart TV. Sound quality is great, i use it in a small room, sometimes Im afraid the up and down neighbors could feel the vibrations of the subwoofer. I like it 10 out of 10 and would recommend it. Cool!

i love Samsung but not loving 2 remotes

so i bought a new Hisense TV and bought the Samsung 4.1 and sub woofer, and i realized that i would need to use 2 remotes to control volume. I'm not about that. i returned it and git the Hisense sound bar and subwoofer so that i could use just 1 remote. i wish there was a way to use Samsung because the subwoofer and soundbar is made so much better.
