Can't connect HW-F450 Sound bar to Toshiba 55VL900A
Hi,
I am trying to connect a Samy HW-F450 Sound bar to my Toshiba 55VL900A with a HDMI cable.
Not sure what i am doing wrong have tried the ARC slot and the ordinary HMDI out slots.
It seems to be almost connected but no sound at all.
I'm slowly going insane pls help.MichaelJ71, I have downloaded the manual for both your Toshiba 55VL900A and your Samsun sound bar, and on page 13 of your Samy manual, it mentions connecting to the TV with either audio or optical input (which I personally have tried with our 32RL900A, and found quite satisfactory),
so I would suggest that would be the easiest way to connect your two devices.
A visit to your nearest Jaycar will enable the purchase of the required Optical cable to do the job, at a reasonable price.
Let us know how it all turns out, this makes people feel that their advice is appreciated

MacBook Pro to Samsung sound bar Bluetooth not connecting
Hello all,
I recently purchased a Samsung sound bar with bluetooth connectivity. I can connect my iPhone 5s to it and stream music with no problem. But when I try to connect my MacBook Pro, it simply connects and promptly disconnects. I have tried shut down, restart, and even unplugging the battery on the MacBook with no luck.
I am running OSX 10.9.3 with all available updates.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks,
JerrySame here I'm using a Samsung HW-H550 Sound Bar - Connect's with iPhone/iPad on IOS 7.1.1 on my Mac Book Pro Retina OS X 10.9.3. Having no joy even went down the root of deleting the Bluetooth Pref file didn't work either.
Looking forward to any workable solution -
I have a macbook pro 5,3 white I am trying to hook up to a samsung hdtv. I have used a mini dv to hdmi adapter but I get no sound on my tv. What can I do to get sound?
The Mini DisplayPort-to-HDMI adaptor will only pass video in most cases. You will need to run a separate audio cable along with it. Likely a 3.5mm (male-to-male) cable. Or a 3.5mm (male) to red/white RCA (male) cable. Just depends on what audio input ports your TV has dedicated to the HDMI input.

LG Plasma with a Samsung Sound Bar
Hi,
We just purchased a LG plasma TV and we already have a Samsung Sound bar. We are having trouble hooking up the sound bar to the TV. Does it have to be connected through optical part or can we connect it through a HDMI?
I hope someone can help!I don't think your tv has an Audio Return Channel (ARC) but it depends on the model you bought. Not sure which Samsun soundbar you have but 450 doesn't have HDMI on it and I'm not sure if the 550 soundbar is capable of an ARC HDMi connection. Either way your best bet is to just use an optical cable. In the LG menu just tell the TV your using external speakers so it will use the sound bar only.

Samsung Sound Bar Compatable​?
I recently purchased the Samsung Sound Bar HT-WS1G, this device only has two inputs optical and RCA. I have a Sony Bravia KDL-40S4100 television that is hooked into the Sound Bar. The only audio I can get to work is the RCA cables, no sound is produced when using the optical input. This unit is not broken, I am able to get Dolby Digital via optical cable out of my Direct TV receiver. I don't want to take this system back as we really like the looks and the wireless subwoofer. Can anyone help get optical from my television?
Yes the speakers are turned off, I did contact Sony Technical Support they said the TV was in need of repair. Sony has a KB article stating that some models do not pass-thru audio from the HDMI inputs to the optical out. I'm just going to return this speaker, the cracking has already started.

Sound Bar Hook up ??
I bought the Boston Acoustic SoundBar today. Good thing I like about it was the fiber opt hook up which saves me HDMI spot. Anyways I was curious if it makes a diff on hooking it up this way. Option 1: Fiber Opt from AT&T reciever box too sound bar. Option 2: samsung es8000 fiber Opt too the Soundbar. Does it really matter ?? I won't be losing PQ due to signals transfer ?? Thanks Guys
Going directly out from the TV will allow enhanced surround with whatever source you wish. The quality of sound should not be a concern.

I have have my macbook pro hooked up to my Samsung tv via HDMI. I have great video but no audio from TV. Only what is coming out of my computer,
Never mind, I lreferenced some other posts with the solution. Thanks anyway!Only MacBook Pro's from mid-2010 onwards support audio through the mini-DisplayPort. You will need to hook up a cable from the headphone socket to the TV.

Macbook Air & Samsung Sound Bar
I recently bought my Samsung Sound Bar HW-H551 and was not able to get to connect to my Macbook air through bluetooth, it connects for a second and disconnects automatically, i've searched online and all it said that it was not compatible and i was told the same when i've visited my local apple support center.
Anyone managed to find a solution for this?I recently bought my Samsung Sound Bar HW-H551 and was not able to get to connect to my Macbook air through bluetooth, it connects for a second and disconnects automatically, i've searched online and all it said that it was not compatible and i was told the same when i've visited my local apple support center.

Is it possible to connect a samsung sound bar and a headphones set to the back of the Samsung TV? I can only find one audio input. I called the Samsung tech service people and was told quickly that it cannot be done. So how can I have both the sound bar and the headphones connected?
No you cannot plug the Samsung soundbar and headphones into most TV's together. You don't state whether you have normal headphopnes or wireless or a model, nor do you mention the model of your TV.
The soundbar assuming the model you have uses an optical output, and we will assume you are using a headphone mini cable. When the headphones are plugged in should take priority over the soundbar.
Give me the models of the tv, soundbar, what kind of headphones, and the devices going to the tv so we can help.
Now some TV's from Samsung like the LED's have a headphone output. The matching soundbar does have a headphone input. You could plug the soundbar to the tv via that and have the headphones in at the same time. See tv out below and the splitter

Samsung Smarttv & Samsung sound bar connection​???
I've tried connecting these several ways & still cannot get sound except thru cable. My HDMI's are connected from sound bar to HDMI ARC. When I turn tv on I have to manually change the sound bar to HDMI. When I first had my tv installed was thru the Geek Squad (everything was correct & sound bar was on D IN) I've moved & now it's all screwed up. HELP!!!!
Hello Cam66-
It certainly sounds like you are dealing with a frustrating situation!
I would recommend either trying Samsung’s support page here or contacting them directly for some troubleshooting options. Otherwise, our home theater experts at your local Best Buy store may have some suggestions as well. In addition, one of our community members may stop in to offer some assistance.
Thanks for posting!

I have a new Sharp 60" 1080 LED TV, very nice TV very Happy with it, but like most TV's the sound could be improved. I have my HD cable box, Sony PS3 and Xbox 360 hooked up to it. Playstation primarily for Blue-ray, 360 for gaming. I thought about picking up a sound bar for the TV to improve the sound. When you look at spending at least $350 for a less expensive sound bar, for a small increase I could get a home theater in a box and elimnate the VERY noisy fan on the PS3 for movies. I am open to opinions with reasons... what am I missing on my thought process?
Hello,
It all depends on what you want to do. It also depends on your room. If you are going to have a surround sound system, you will need to think about where your rear speakers are going to be placed and if you are going to buy one of the HTIBS(home theater in a box systems), will you buy one that has rear speakers that can be connected to a wireless module? If you do not want to run wires across your room, then you will want to look at Samsung, LG or Sony as the brands that offer systems with a wireless rear speaker option. Also keep in mind that these units have built in blu-ray players and all of their speakers are proprietary, so if anything was to go wrong with any part of the unit, you would not be able to easily replace that part without having to either ship the whole system or replace the entire system. HTIBS offer quick and affordable home theater solutions, but they typically do not last as long as separate component setups, which would be a real home theater receiver and a set of separate speakers. They have limited performance, but that is a separate issue altogether. Also, a real receiver will allow you to connect all of your devices and get true 5.1 surround sound out of them if you have the speakers connected to the receiver. If you buy an HTIB you will be limited with your connection options since most of them do not have more than 2 audio in connections and it seems you have 3 devices that you would like to get surround sound from(PS3, Xbox, cable box). But if you buy one with a built in blu ray player, you could theoretically unhook the ps3 since you indicated that it is primarily for blu ray watching anyway. That would leave you with the 360 which you could hook up through an HDMI In on the unit and your cable box which you could connect via digital optical cable. This would allow for you to have the connections you need, but if you ever want to add anything later on, this would be your peak.
By having a device connected to your TV and then connecting your TV to the surround sound unit, you are automatically going to downmix the material to a stereo(2.0) sound instead of a 5.1 sound and you will not be getting true surround sound through all of the speakers in the HTIB. In order to get true 5.1, the devices must be directly connected to your surround sound unit or receiver.
On the other side, having a soundbar will eliminate the issue of downmixing, since the soundbar is only two speakers and a subwoofer in most cases anyway, you will not have to worry about the downmixing process.
So to sum it up, if you want true surround sound and have the room for extra speakers and possibly speaker wire, I'd say go for the HTIB and see how you like it, especially if you can get one that has wireless rear speakers. As long as you understand the limited connectivity and you also understand that a separate component system with a real AV receiver will give you superior performance and options, I'd say you are educated enough to make a decision.
Also, head into your local best buy and listen to some of the HTIBS they have on display. You can even bring your own CD of demo material to see how the speakers sound to your ears. To a lot of folks, they offer enough performance for the money they are willing to spend. For some, they don't quite do it. It's all subjective and it's all up to you, because at the end of the day, your ears are the only ones that matter when making a purchase for your use. -
I want to buy a sound bar for my samsung tv that connects wirelessly to my apple tv so that i can listen to music through the sound bar. Are there any sound bars out there that can do this ?
I do believe that the ability for your Apple TV to airplay audio to external devices was added just in the most recent update, that was released when iOS 6 was released if I'm correct, so there might not be any that specifically mention that yet.
Since it uses AirPlay I'd assume any AirPlay compatible speaker would work, but I would look into it more before spending your money, just in case. -
Sony BRAVIA Sound bar home theatre system
I just bought one of those Sony BRAVIA sound bar home theatre systems & I am trying to hook up my old model vcr/dvd combo so I can get surround sound on the dvd player. My husband & I have almost tried everything & it still won't work. It doesn't have an HDMI or an Optical hook up on the back of the vcr/dvd player. How can I hook up the surround sound to play through the vcr/dvd player?
The bravia sound bar has analog hoook up as well.......what you will do is take the red & white audio cables.....and plug them into the OUT of the existing dvd player and then plug them to the IN red & white jacks on the back of the bravia sound bar system.
