Asked 2 years ago by DanC.
- Answer Hi DanC, The HW-B650 Soundbar be controlled using other remotes, but this function can be used with IR remote controls only. Bluetooth remote controls (remote controls that require pairing) are not supported. Set the TV speaker to External Speaker to use this function. 1) Turn Off the Soundbar. 2) Push up and hold the WOOFER button for 5 seconds. Each time you push the WOOFER button up and hold it for 5 seconds, the mode switches in the following order: “Samsung-TV Remote” (Default mode), “Off-TV Remote”, “All-TV Remote”. The LED indicator status changes each time the mode is changed. Should you need further assistance, please contact Samsung Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG. ~Samsung Solutions

QuestionHi, I am interested in the set but was wondering if my Bose Companion 2 Series3 speaker set would connect to the Samsung sound bar as Satalite speakers. The Bose connect via headphone small style jack but I think they supports Bluetooth. Thanks GNMike.
Asked 1 year ago by GrandNationalMike.
- Answer Hello, I own Samsung HW-B650 and Q800B for my TV surround sound in 2 different rooms. I also own Bose Smart Speaker 500 and Bose Revolve speakers and never been able to connect them as satellite speakers to Samsung surround. My Bose is used mainly for portability. When I connect to my TV via Bluetooth or HDMI ARC it only allows one output source. I never tried and I do not think its possible to connect them together via Bluetooth or to each other. Samsung connections is only HDMI, HDMI ARC, Optical, and Bluetooth, no AUX or Headphone input. Bose portable speakers only has AUX and Bluetooth connections. Ironically my guess room has a Bose TV smart 300 series speaker (sound bar only) it has all connections type however I never tried to connect Bose portable as a satellite speaker. Sorry for long reply but hope it help some. The samsung sound bar is a steal at $219 price if still on sell versus $399

QuestionMy sound bar is connected via the HDMI Arc input but the sub woofer does not seem to be connecting. Only the blue light stays on when I press the set-button on the bask of the sub-woofer. What am I doing wrong?
Asked 2 years ago by DanielG.
- Answer DanielG, Before performing the manual connection procedure, check whether the power cables for the Soundbar and subwoofer are connected properly and make sure that the Soundbar is turned off. Press and hold ID SET on the rear of the subwoofer for at least 5 seconds. The red indicator on the rear of the subwoofer turns off and the blue indicator blinks. Press and hold the Up button on the remote control for at least 5 seconds. The ID SET message appears on the display of the Soundbar for a moment, and then it disappears. The Soundbar will automatically power on when ID SET is complete. The LINK LED indicator stops blinking and glows a solid blue when a connection is established between the Soundbar and the Wireless Subwoofer. ~Samsung Solutions
