the soundbar speakers in center only 2 do not vibrate but the ones surronding it do I assume these are the woofers. Whats up with that? remote has a button to turn them up woofer level but pressing it does not make it change, as if they do not work...

Ok. The way I have mine set up is, I used the supplied OPTICAL AUDIO cable, connected from the TV to the sub woofer. This way, everything that would be coming out of the TV speakers, are coming out of the sound bar and the sub woofer in amazing sound quality.

There is a s/w level control on the lower half of the remote. Press the right arrow until desired level. I have mine at the max; 8. I to was slightly disappointed at the volume, however, I found that moving the subwoofer to a different location made a huge difference. I have the port facing one wall and the sub the other in the corner of my home. I also found a noticeable difference when facing the port to the open room. When you disconnect the sub, you will notice how much it really puts out. If you are looking for ground shaking bass, this is not the system for you. It's enough to enjoy theater quality sound.Hope this helps. There is a s/w level control on the lower half of the remote. Press the right arrow until desired level. I have mine at the max; 8.

Dear Linda, as far as I know this cannot be connected as part of a surround sound set up, you or someone else may have. From what I've read you cannot connect this model to a sub woofer.The connection is done through the tv . If you should have a home surround sound and your two front speakers and the center are no longer working . You would be much better off with finding 2 front speakers and a center again. I don't think this bar can substitute for your needs. I am not by any means a tech guru. I do know some stuff by educating myself with the comment of others on consumer sites. I hope this helps by Bernard Dear Linda, as far as I know this cannot be connected as part of a surround sound set up, you or someone else may have.

Wow ! That's really strange. Maybe there's a short or defect in the remote. I've had my soundbar for a couple of years. Works great. No battery issues. Same battery. Try a refund or replacement on the whole lot.

Don't know, and it was annoying when I first bought the soundbar. I've never seen any other Bluetooth receiver with a sound-synch problem, and there is a special function on the remote to correct it. Fortunately, it only occurred when I first bought the speaker, and it's never been a problem since and I've had it for the last three years. Strange.

The problem is not just the speakers. There isn't sufficient amplification to product acceptable sound levels. best to get a sound bar or an inexpensive receiver and speakers. YMMV

Unfortunately, the unit I got didn't allow separate control of subwoofer volume, and it's pretty strong. The speakers on the bar are the best speakers I've ever owned, and the sub volume hasn't been too much of a problem. I unplug it when I'm using the bar when someone is asleep upstairs.

Depends on what kind of speakers ya got, but it sounds like it could have changed the EQ settings, try plugging them into it again but this time don't click any buttons and wait a sec, it could automatically change to best sound through headphones. Certain headphone jacks (a large majority of them) don't recognize the electrical feedback from the 3 button remote, rather just the fact that something was plugged in.

I was just going to post the same question, so I'm assuming it doesn't have presets at all. I'm guessing the previous person who said that's probably for a different model system was correct. That's the only button on my remote that does nothing so I know it's not a bad remote. Oh well, still a great system you just have to learn how to adjust bass and treble depending on what you're watching/listening to.

Hello,Did you ever figure this out? I just bought this TV last night and I'm very happy with it, but I use a surround sound system and have to keep the TV volume on 0. There should be a way to turn the speakers off - right?Thanks for any info.

I had the same problem having difficulty hearing the dialog. It's an easy fix: change the sound level of the center speaker. Do this by pressing the LEVEL MODE button on the remote, press the arrows to go to CNT LEVEL and change to the sound level you want (probably increase it). While you're at it, you might also tone down the subwoofer level (SW LEVEL) so it doesn't overpower the center. This is buried on p. 31 of the user manual.

I want to know why I can't get the sub-woofer to work.It stays on stand-by mode.It works when I run the set-up mode,but after that it goes back into stand-by mode.What's wrong?

depends which model you have. there is a round knob behind the base ,if you want to call it the speaker ,turn it to increase or decrease base. if I were an engineer I could have designed a more friendly user system and have a on , off switch on the system instead of on the remote control only. if you loose that small remote your system is inoperable.

I think the remotes for this sound bar are defective.........mine stopped working after 3weeks......battery was not dead.......can't find a replacement

I received this speaker bar, yesterday, and found it to be defective. It has a December 2013 manufacture date. Only the volume control and power button will work on the remote. The color of the light will change when switching modes on the bar, but there is no change in sound. Also, though the lights indicate that the bar and subwoofer are synced, there is no sound from the sub.

It could be a connection issue. I have no buzz with mine. I think you should check your connections then if that doesn't solve your issue then look into exchanging them. I think they're great speakers!
