If you have the best soundbar and you are facing a connection issue, just troubleshoot and fix the issue or you can reset your system to resolve the problem. Depending on different brands the process may differ slightly. You might need the remote to reset your soundbar. But if you are unable to fix the problem, just call a pro.

  • Just press and hold the volume and power buttons for 5 seconds. 
  • Ensure the power cord is unplugged. 
  • After some time, you need to replug the soundbar. 
  • Check to see if the system’s default settings have been restored.

How to reset samsung soundbar hw-h450

It’s critical to check your Samsung HW h450’s functionality both before and after troubleshooting. The troubleshooting process will be validated and later verified as a result of this. 

To do so, attach the Samsung subwoofer to your TV and test its performance and functionality. This type usually has three options for connecting to your TV: HDMI, Bluetooth, or a fiber optic digital cable.

Common Problems with Samsung Soundbars with Solutions

The problems you will notice with the Samsung soundbar

When connecting a Soundbar to a Samsung TV, you may encounter the following issues.

  • If the soundbar does not turn on, double-check that the soundbar’s power cord is properly attached to the soundbar.
  • After that, disconnect the power line from the intermediary device, just like you did with the power bar. After that, connect it straight to a wall outlet that is in good functioning order. If it still won’t switch on, you should contact Samsung for assistance.

HDMI connections are being troubleshooting

Because the Samsung soundbar is designed to work with TVs that have an Audio Return Channel, it requires the usage of an HDMI cable. If your TB doesn’t have ARC support, you can get it by using an optical cable. 

The ARC protocol allows the TV to send and receive audio and video data through the soundbar’s HDMI Out port. The HDMI port on soundbars is intended for other types of components, such as a cable box or a satellite dish, rather than for the television.

Bluetooth Troubleshooting

As the Samsung soundbars are designed to work with Bluetooth-enabled devices such as tablets and smartphones, they can send audio over A2DP Bluetooth. 

The Samsung soundbars were not designed to function with Bluetooth headphones or speakers.

The ideal method for resetting the Samsung Soundbar is as follows:

  • Turn on the Soundbar and then press and hold the off button on the remote or the soundbar.
  •  Hold the power button down until the soundbar’s display reads INIT OK.
  • If you have an older soundbar without a display, you will notice a red light blinking and then it will stop, indicating that the resetting has been accomplished.

Conclusion

So, now that you’ve read the post, you should know exactly how to reset your soundbars from different brands or models. As previously indicated, it is a fairly easy procedure that does not necessitate a lot of effort. 

But if you still face any issue regarding resetting your soundbar, call professional tech support and fix it at the earliest.
