Looking for Answers about samsung 2.1 Channel Audio Bar Home Theater System?

i tried this and it didn't work i do have the sound bar hook up to my samsung TV by digital opticle connection

I turn the volume OFF on the TV and allow the sound to only come through the Sound Bar. This works for me.

turn off the device it is connected to. it automatically senses the source is on and turns itself on.

You need to adjust the Sound Bar NOT the TV. Get out the remote for the Sound Bar and press the "+" or "-" keys above and below "AV Sync" (which stands for audio-visual sync) located at the bottom left under "SPX Control" on the remote. Increase or decrease until the voices match the sounds.

Very Simple. Just purchase an audio cable with two phono jack ends. Plug one to the Nano and plug the other end to the "Audio In" circle (next to the "optical in") and you are good to go!

Make sure your not set on Analog if you are : (From the manual)

If you select 'ANALOG' without connecting the Audio Cable, the set is turned off automatically
after 20 minutes.

Also try pressing the Auto Power button on the remote between the - button and the down arrow button.

I had the same problem. I found that my sound bar can't be too close to the TV. I have my samsung TV on a platform ( not mounted) and the sound bar in front of it. In this configuration, the sound bar kept shutting off. I returned it as a faulty unit and the second one did the same thing. By chance I happened to move the sound bar off of the tv platform and the problem ceased.

At top of Samsung web page highlight PRODUCTS and under ACCESSORIES select TV ACCESSORIES. In left hand pane select Wall Mounts. Under product image select SHOP tab. A list of venders will appear.

Try to turn off the Wireless Remote Control option in the Plug & Play menu.

I too have experienced a similar problem. The unit sometimes switches audio inputs (I've observed both DIGI.1 to DIGI.2 and DIGI.2 to Analog) as though the input button on the unit or remote had been pressed. Both times this has happened I've been nowhere near the unit or remote so it would seem there's a firmware issue that can cause the switch (I have "Auto Power" turned off)

Both times I've corrected the issue by touching the input "button" on the unit to (re)select the source I was listening to.

Hopefully Samsung will issue a firmware fix (the unit has a USB port for firmware updates).

It will in 20 minutes

Mine was doing that, too, connected with either digital or analog cables. I fiddled around with the bar location and eliminated the problem by keeping the bar away from the TV. One of the install tips is to mount the bar at least 2 inches below the tv. Mine tv is currently on a stand with the bar in front of it. When I put the bar closer to the TV than the recommended 2 inches it cycles. Moving it away and it's solid.

A customer service rep sent me this link for a replacement remote

make sure you do this with nothing else on just the bar no tv nothig. now do what it says in the book with the mute button this worked for me.

No, it is wireless but you can have it as close as you like

JCordle,

My Subwoofer is on a shelf directly under the cabinet that holds my sound bar on top. The sound bar itself is 5" below and centered on my wall mounted 55" Samsung TV. The subwoofer is also centered on the two other pieces above. The sub woofer is 3' 4" below the top of the cabinet.

My Entertainment room is 14 X 16. This is just right to make the sound appear to be surround sound.

Hope this works for you.

The HW-C450 has an analog audio input (3.5mm jack) so you could use that.

If the "Auto Power" is set to On the unit will switch on if there's a signal on either optical input. Thus if the TV is still on (and outputting audio) the HW-C450 will turn back on.

The solution is to turn "Auto Power" off.

As to your 2nd question: yes you have it wired incorrectly.

I'm pretty sure you can't.

The optical audio interface is digital so the TV doesn't control the speaker volume the HW-C451 does.

If you have a universal remote, and know how to program it (as I do mine), you should be able to have the volume control buttons (+/-/Mute) control the HW-C451 rather than the TV. The method etc are a function of the specific universal remote.
