Question: Does the audio (non-HDMI) input signal get sent through to the HDMI output?  I'd like to swap inputs on the fly and use the single HDMI out to my tv.
Document: I'll admit I'm a little disappointed. The quality of the sound is decent but the fact that most universal remotes don't work with this device is really frustrating. Yes, you can get your TV remote to control the volume if you use the clumsy HDMI passthrough system, but that adds new issues like the audio inputs switching incorrectly when cycling through the video inputs. If you have a lot of video devices and don't have a samsung TV, don't waste your money or your time.
Installed and works ok.  We use TIVO w/ cable service & Samsung smart tv's but after adding these sound bars, when we turn the tv on, it comes on briefly and HDMI displays on the sound bar's panel, then the display changes to D-IN and the tv goes off, &#34;searching for signal&#34;. So you have to take the sound bar's remote and press the source or input button until you scroll thru the options of AUX, BT, etc.
This is nice because it's coming from the output on my TV to the sound bar. So If I'm watching OTA on the TV, I've got audio. If I'm watching the satellite, I've got Audio. If I'm watching a DVD, I've got audio. No switching inputs, always nice. Again with 2.1 the optical out from the TV is just fine.I use the Bluetooth feature all the time to play music from my phone and my laptop. I love it.
Awesome! I had experimented with BOTH the optical cable and hdmi(arc) attached at the same time but this was a mistake. The tv would use the optical cable for on/off but wouldn't change the sound on the SB. Or when I switched the input to HDMI(arc) on the SB, it would do sound/off but not turn on. Once I figured out that setting in the menu, my wife was really happy that we could get rid of an extra remote.
I have no optical out on my TV and this means every time I want to connect a different HDMI input I have to swap out the cord. I could use a couple adapters and different cables to change from coax D input to optical but that's another 40-50$ in extra cords and adapter modules.In the end it's a good value if you have the right equipment. Sound quality is 7.2/10 but value is 4/5 stars.
I love it. The setup couldn't be easier The wireless subwoofer connected on first try. I'm using ARC & Anynet with my 65in Samsung TV. The sound bar goes on with the TV & goes off with the TV using my tv, TiVo & sound bar remotes.Adjusting sound with remote is easy & the remote allows full access to all functions. I think if u r trying to use it with a non Samsung product you may not get easy on off but you'll still get pretty good sound.
We were looking for a sound bar(SB) that would enhance the audio from our new Panasonic Viera 47" LED. It came down between this one and the Sony CT150/CT260's. I'm glad we chose this one, it works really well and integrates nicely with our tv. I am using the HDMI(arc) to connect the SB to our tv, going from the HDMI OUT on the SB to the HDMI2(arc) input on our tv.
Works great, does require the use of another remote. I use it with my samsung tv so in get the advantage of one remote on button for both but there is a delay of about 5 seconds for the sound back to power on. I did need to purchase and extra cable (video output cable) since I chose to not use the RCA cables supplied (so i could get the one remote button on capability).
I don't know who designed this thing but you can't use a "standard" learning remote to control the volume with it because it uses some (non RF) non-standard IR junk (from what I read in the forums). So, if you are planning to hook the output of a Tivo to this device (forget about hooking it to the TV...even a Samsung..which I have), keep looking.
Make sure you use the HDMI-in/HDMI-out on the sound bar, this gets you dolby digital sound output as opposed to just stereo. Let me explain as simply as I can on this:Most people think (I was one of them) that you can hook all your devices (xbox360, ps3, blu ray, apple tv, etc.)
Answer: NO! Use a digital hook up from your tv to the sound bar for better sound and then hook up everything else to the TV. This way you don't need a switch box. What ever you have on is what you will hear.
