Samsung 3.1 Channel Soundbar System Manual

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so thoroughly impressed by this sound bar. Our household loves striving to create the best soundscapes and experiences we can, as we digest a LOT of media. We selected the Samsung HW-S800D (3.1.2 channel setup) knowing that this best carries theater-like sound throughout the large room this lives in. What really sold us was the form factor AND usage of Dolby Atmos, which is largely why the 3.1.2 channel setup sounds as good as it does. Setup was NOT as easy as expected (or as the instructions tried to convince us it was). The subwoofer did not automatically pair with the soundbar like the instructions alluded to, and I had to do the manual pairing process thrice to finally get them to pair. I believe the issue was that the soundbar was trying to download/install a software update after I got it set up on my wifi and in my Smart Things app. I say “I believe”, since there was no indication that this software update was being attempted until after each timeI rebooted the soundbar while following the instructions under troubleshooting the subwoofer. I do like that the Smart Things app integration (and wifi integration for that matter) was optional. It added additional steps to my setup since I understand and appreciate the integrations it provides my household, but I love that it was not mandatory for the folks who may not care. Overall, as frustrating as the setup was for a few moments, the sound quality is immaculate and worth the fuss ten times over.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded my Soundbar from a 7.1.2 Channel bar to the Samsung Q910D 9.1.2 Channel bar, and the upgrade was beyond worth it! This is a fully immersive experience with sound so good that it almost makes it challenging to focus on the screen. The room my TV is in is long and narrow, so not having the sound bounce around and just sound jumbled & loud has always been tricky. The SpaceFit Sound Pro calibration instantly made the sound amazing. I have the Samsung QN85B Neo QLED TV, and it pairs beautifully with this setup. I did find that setting the soundbar up on SmartThings via the TV had a hiccup, but then I just moved to my phone, and it was all dialed in within a minute to two. The back speakers are awesome! I honestly didn’t know I needed them, especially in my room, but there are so many little nuances to shows and movies that these speakers capture to really make you feel like you are in the middle of the entertainment. I think one of my biggest surprises is the balance that the system provides. The adaptive sound feature is incredible. The dialogue track of everything I have watched is crystal clear no matter if it is an intense action scene, the Taylor Swift concert on repeat with my daughter, or a quieter scene. Trust me, you won’t miss a thing. Another added benefit of pairing this soundbar with a Samsung TV is that the profile is perfect. Currently my TV is not wall mounted, so the soundbar sits perfectly in front of my TV without impeding the picture or leaving a gap between the bar and the TV. It provides a very clean design that feels integrated into the room. I have not tested the soundbar on a different brand of TV to verify that the quality when used with a Samsung TV is better, but all I can say is I will never watch TV the same again. This soundbar makes you appreciate your investment in a decent TV.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced our 10-year-old 2-channel soundbar with this Samsung model for our bedroom, where we love watching movies at night without disturbing our sleeping children. Our old soundbar often made it hard to hear dialogue without turning up the volume, which was problematic with an 8-month-old in the next room. This Samsung soundbar solves that issue with its voice dialogue enhancement feature, which clarifies dialogue without needing to increase the volume. The 5-channel setup delivers excellent audio quality, especially given the compact size of the soundbar. One of the standout features is its smart functionality, particularly the Alexa compatibility. We used to rely on a small Echo Dot for connectivity, but the built-in Alexa on the soundbar has replaced it, providing a significant upgrade in audio quality. Additionally, the Samsung app allows me to switch between audio settings seamlessly from my phone with no lag. Overall, we are very satisfied with this soundbar and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality, smart soundbar.

As an engineer I has hoping for a lot, but the 5.1 channel sound of this complete Arc soundbar based home theater system is far beyond my expectations. Since we have Android phones I did have to enlist my son-in-law with his iPhone to do a more thorough system calibration needed to provide the full scope of sound on modern movies and TV, but once fully calibrated to the room in which it's located the sound is just superb.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a very proud owner of a Q70a QLED TV. Although the TV itself comes with good speakers, I wanted to enhance the 4K experience with a solid Dolby Atmos capable system. I initially invested in a cheap soundbar from another brand and quickly realized my mistake. Within a week, I was searching for a new sound system and wanted to avoid repeating my previous error. The best option was undoubtedly the Samsung Q990D, but my budget didn't allow for it. The next best I could afford was the Samsung Q800D, and it didn't fail to impress me at all. The soundbar itself sounded so rich and full compared to my old system. The bass vibrated my floor, and everything sounded incredibly crisp and clear. Q-Symphony is one of the best features available when you have a Samsung sound system paired with a Samsung TV. I was already in love with my setup, but when I realized the soundbar could be paired with rear speakers, I quickly purchased the Samsung SWA-9500s. I was blown away by the overall experience, so much so that I rewatched all my movies just to experience the sheer excellence of my complete sound system. The Samsung Q800D soundbar paired with the SWA-9500s rear speakers has elevated my home theater experience to a whole new level. The combination of Dolby Atmos, Q-Symphony, and powerful sound has turned my living room into a cinematic masterpiece. If you're looking to invest in a high-quality sound system, I highly recommend this setup. It's a perfect blend of performance and value.

This sleek and modern soundbar has not only enhanced the aesthetics of my setup but has also delivered exceptional audio quality that has transformed my viewing and listening experience. The soundbar's design seamlessly blends with my TV and room decor, adding a touch of elegance. More importantly, its audio performance is outstanding. The S700D produces immersive sound that fills the entire room, whether I'm watching movies, playing games, or enjoying music. Setting up the soundbar was a breeze, thanks to the wireless subwoofer and Bluetooth connectivity. I could place the subwoofer wherever it provided optimal bass without worrying about tangled cables. Connecting my devices via Bluetooth was effortless, allowing me to stream audio from my smartphone or tablet with ease. One of the standout features is the Adaptive Sound technology, which automatically adjusts audio settings based on what I'm watching or listening to. This ensures clear dialogue in movies and dynamic sound during action scenes, without the need for constant manual adjustments. I also appreciate the convenience of built-in Alexa voice control. With simple voice commands, I can control the soundbar, making it incredibly convenient to use. In conclusion, the Samsung S700D soundbar has exceeded my expectations in terms of design, audio quality, and user-friendly features. If you're looking to elevate your home theater setup with superior sound and modern technology, I highly recommend considering the S700D. It's a fantastic addition to any entertainment system and has quickly become the focal point of my home theater experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My prior non-Samsung soundbar of just a few years started to malfunction, so I decided that my new soundbar would be from Samsung. I had no idea what dimensions to expect as this product was not yet available. However my prior soundbar was a 3.1 system with subwoofer. So going to a 5.1 system seemed like it would be a nice upgrade. I hadn't realized that the subwoofer is built in. Nor that this soundbar was relatively small. For context, my TV is 64 inches and my prior soundbar was 42 inches. This soundbar was just over 26 inches, so I was skeptical about how it would look alongside the TV or how good the sound would be in our relatively large living room. To my surprise, this soundbar kicked butt. The sound was way better than before, and installation was pretty seamless. The sound filled the room, and you could clearly hear the conversations in the show. They even have a preset to amplify voices so you can hear them even better. But the regular setting was more than enough for me. I hooked mine up to the TV using SPDIF port (my own cable), but they provide an HTMI cable for HDMI/eARC if that's your preference. The mounting brackets were nice as well, and helped me hook it up to my TV mantel mount. I'm not a sound expert, but overall really happy with how it sounded for music and movies, which are my two main use cases. Really happy with the purchase, and space-saving built-in subwoofer and would certainly recommend!
