Samsung HW-B550 User Manual

To connect the Samsung HW-B550 Soundbar to your TV, use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI OUT (TV-ARC) port on the soundbar to the HDMI (ARC) port on your TV. You can also use an optical digital cable if your TV supports it. Ensure both devices are powered on and select the appropriate input on your TV.
First, ensure the soundbar is powered on and the volume is turned up. Check that all cables are securely connected. Verify the correct input source is selected on the soundbar. If the problem persists, try resetting the soundbar by turning it off, unplugging it for a minute, and then plugging it back in.
