 Confusing manual Aug 05, 2011
By Wolverine in Woodbridge
I love the system once I figured out how to set it up. The instructions are not helpful, in fact, they describe the system operation opposite of reality. It's all about the wiring. The system comes with a Red/White RCA wire that merges to a 1/8" minijack. It also comes with a special HDMI wire with a mini HDMI on one side. The instructions say if you want the soundbar to be controlled by the TV remote (which is what I wanted) then you need to use a fiber optic cable (not provided). So I bought one for $17 and plugged it in. The sound bar worked but not as described. The TV did not control the soundbar. For grins I decided to plug in the HDMI cable they provided even though the manual said the TV would not control the soundbar in such a configuration. But exactly where to plug it in was another ordeal in itself. The HDMI cable goes in the "ARC" HDMI port on the TV. I didn't even know I had one...but I did. Neither the TV manual nor the soundbar manual provided much detail on what ARC is or how it works. I thought of the HDMI ports as input only. Turns out the HDMI #2 is also the ARC port (Audio Return Channel). I plugged the soundbar into the ARC HDMI port on my 8000 series Samsung LED and turned it on and then the magic began! The TV's internal speaker automatically shut off and the TV remote controlled the soundbar. I decided to test the Samsung BLU-ray which was still plugged in the TV (not the soundbar). To my utter surprise, the TV volume control on the BLU-ray remote also controlled the soundbar.
Other reviewers said their Samsung TV could not control this soundbar. My TV is last year's 8000 series and it controls the soundbar just fine with the HDMI cable provided in the box.
The subwoofer just plugs in and self-connects wirelessly to the soundbar. Put it anywhere in the room.
My only unfulfilled expectation is that I thought a Samsung soundbar designed for a Samsung 46 inch flatscreen would attach to the TV rather than just sit on the table they both share.
I recommend this system for Samsung TVs with ARC HDMI ports.

 Workers and sounds great. Nov 02, 2011
By MartyMoose

Ok, so I read that this Soundbar/Sub sounds great but they are hard to set up and that there are "usability issues"...here is how I set it up in 30min and everything works and sounds perfect.
This system uses the HDMI 1.4 ARC (audio return channel) if you want the soundbar to be automatically controlled. If your TV has an HDMI ARC (will be marked as such) input then connect the Soundbar to that directly. Then connect your Cable/Sat TV, DVD/BluRay, Apple TV, etc.. directly to your TV via HDMI. What should happen is that your TV will then route the audio through the HMDI ARC connection directly to your Soundbar. In turn, this will mean that your TV remote will control the sound, and the soundbar will turn on/off with your TV. The manual is horrible and does not clearly state how to properly connect.
How is the sound. It is pretty good...I have a "nice" component system downstairs and the Samsung unit does not compare to that. If you are looking for component sound then this is not for you. Now, if your wife says that she doesn't want big speakers and a $1200 receiver in her family room, then this is perfect. Sound is rich, although geared more toward the highs...but sounds good, even at higher volumes.
Would I recommend : Yes. Is the manual helpful: Absolutely Not.

Perfect match for our Samsung LED TV! May 22, 2011
By mannyandlily
This Samsung HW-D550 Home Theater System is a simple, yet amazing set of speakers that gets the job done. Our Samsung LED has a very weak single speaker that needs to be set to near "20" to get somewhat room-filling sound. The HW-D550 takes care of that problem and the speaker bar fits on our mantle perfectly! As I said, this is a simple system that works sufficiently to meet our needs; we were not looking for room-rumbling lows or multiple speakers located in every corner. We just wanted a fuller sound at lower volumes with a little bit of bass thrown in.

GREAT Sound Bar ! It has HDMI inputs, Optical inputs and AUX input ! May 18, 2011
By KHAWACHEN
UPDATE ! March 19, 2012
This does have AUX input !
it is located next to the Optical Audio input !
They are all in black color and some what Hidden !!!!!!! I was almost about to buy another small speaker so I can connect to my laptop!
WOW, I can't believe, after owning this for almost a year, i only discovered it now ! Once connected, on the remote, Select Analog Input by clicking through "Input Select" button
From 5 Star to 4 Star, NOW BACK TO 5 STAR Rating !
==========================
OLD Review:
I connected this to Samsung UN55D6400 (Via HDMI port #2 ARC connection).
I can now control the soundbar with the Samsung TV remote and vice versa.
The blue tooth Subwoofer connected automatically !
Comparing this soundbar + sub Vs TV speaker. The TV speaker has high MID but lacks in bass and depth.
So far i'm very satisfied !

Everything you could want May 18, 2011
By C. B. Nguyen
I am no audiophile but the sound is crisp and great. It has a beautiful black gloss finish and looks very stylish next to the led hdtv. The front buttons in the center are touch sensors so no mechanical buttons. It has one HDMI out for ARC, and 2 HDMI inputs, plus one analog and 2 optical. What more could u ask for! Its enough for my tv, pc, and game systems. I have no problems with it out of the box, it gets an A from me.
