A clear, concise explanation of how to accomplish this task. No drama. No "look how brainy i am", self centred monologue that confuses the hell out of a baby boomer from the early 50s. Just good, easy to understand and follow instructions. Thank you squire. You're a gent.
super quick, literally the first video that came up when I googled "samsung soundbar won't connect to subwoofer," fixed my problem in seconds. TRULY APPRECIATED! thank you!
THANK YOU!! It's 3:55pm and I spent almost ALL day trying to figure out why my sound mode & subwoofer quit working. After spending 30 minutes on the phone with Samsung, only to have them tell me I needed to spend $128 for service..I decided to search RU-vid. Resetting the soundbar and subwoofer worked!!!
@@jbatistabr They didn't charge for phone support. They were planning on servicing the person's parts themselves which would cost money (e.i. service come to their house or they bring the products in to them)
Thanks so much for sharing this. The Samsung soundbar set up I bought a few weeks back has given me nothing but trouble and no one ever answers their laughable customer service and tech support hotlines. Using the online chat advice is incredibly confusing and time consuming - taken up many, many hours of my time before I found your instructive video. Thanks again and keep up the good work
Thanks been trying to connect my Bluetooth for too long of a time and then I gave up and that was 6 months ago and today is the first time I came across your video and it actually worked. So thank you very much😊😊😊
I searched online, watched youtube videos nothing worked and as i was about to give up, i got this simple video watched it follow the steps and to my suprise it worked. My Sub is now connected with the Soundbar. Thumbs up for this video
I spent hours trying to figure how to pair subwoofer, went to best buy got an exchange worked perfectly first time! must have had a defective device, so be sure you have a good unit
I am having a terrible time connecting the sub woofer, I’ve tried every single method described in all of the comments plus what the supplied instructions have mentioned an a few other combinations. I have a blinking light and the sound bar says BT Pairing but no matter what button I hold for 5 seconds I cannot get a solid blue light. This is really frustrating.
@@koroba01 That's the worst. Like when it works by accident so if it ever happens again you're still gonna have to go through the same process & hope you actually figure it out or that you accidentally get it working haha
I know this is old but make sure while pressing and holding the reset (some id are internal) you shut off the sound bar and turn it back on while still holding the Id pair. the light will turn solid blue and you are then connected
A note, if this doesn't work initially, try unplugging all of the speakers for a few minutes and then plug them back in and try again. It worked for me after I did that.
Life saver! Can’t get my riding mower to start! But at least you helped me get my subwoofer paired up! Exact same setup. Nothing sounds better than watching Michigan destroy the Buckeyes, with BASS!! Go Blue!
Thank you so much for you video. We have bought our first soundbar with subwoofer and boxes and had trouble pairing them. We have called customer service and they could not figure it out. After seeing your video and following your steps it finally worked. Many many thanks!
Is ID SET functional compatible across all Samsung soundbars and subwoofers? Can you pair any soundbars and subwoofers as long as they have the ID SET function available?
If you have an older model then make sure the subwoofer is blinking and the sound bar is off and then hold the mute button on the remote. And then it should say Id set on the soundbar meaning you are connected
Idk what to do. I have tried everything. The remote works but when I press the top button on the directional pad it does absolutely nothing and I cannot get them to pair.
@@bbnj1785 i switched my batteries out, unplugged everything from soundbar/subwoofer. turned on subwoofer until it blinked fast, then did the set up from instructions. i think my batteries in the remote were deas
@@lockinload23 I downloaded the actual manual and followed it. In all the videos they have you pressing the buttons while it’s on, but I actually had to turn it off and follow the steps and then it turned itself on and was connected.
Like almost all other owners of this Samsung stuff I struggled a long time to make it happening. Pairing the sw with the sb. Just because the manual of Samsung’s sucks! Even more, it is completely wrong I noticed after seeing this video This is totally different from what Samsung wrote: device on power off, and on again Five seconds mute while the sw if off???Not only confusing, just false information. So, I’m very happy to ran into your video. After two days wrestling and became almost crazy, it was fixed in literally 10 ten seconds. You’re the best and even more if you tell Samsung they have to rewrite their stupid manual.
If your subwoofers light turns solid red after you do all these steps (after your sound bar displays “ID Set”) then hold down the button on the back of the subwoofer and it will automatically connect. Hope that helps as well
Your videos are great and super informative. I just purchased the HW-B650. All that being said, any advice to eliminate or at least limit the humming that is coming from the subwoofer? Seems to be constant and is obviously very noticeable when there is limited noise in what's being watched. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
@user-ei4gt4eg4k Thank you for the kind words! Take a look around the subwoofer. It there are devices emitting bluetooth or other wireless signals, like a wi-fi router, they may be interfering and causing the subwoofer to hum.
@@abtelectronics thank you for the response. Turns out the sub was within five feet of the wifi, opposite wall of the TV/soundbar. Moved it across the room to the near the TV/soundbar, and it's still humming. I was so stoked that the solution could be that easy. If you have any other suggestions, I's sure love to hear them!
@user-ei4gt4eg4k If the router is putting out a strong signal, it might still be the cause of the humming. Unfortunately there are cases where it's more difficult to pinpoint the cause of interference like you're experiencing, which makes it harder to fix. Do you have the ability to install your router in a different room altogether? We realize that might not be the easiest thing, or even possible, but if you can do it it might be worth a try. Good luck!
