New Samsung HW-FM55C Soundbar Sweetness

My family gave me a great father's Day gift, A Samsung HW-FM55C Soundbar purchased at Costco for $309. I was looking for the Vizio 5.1 bar but they were out at Costco so they bought the Samsung. It is a 2.1 which is fine with be but I was a little worried.

I love it. Simple to set up but I suppose they all are. The sub was not in sync out of the box but in a few minutes it fixed itself. One thing that impresses me is I can always hear the voice channel. Bluetooth works fine.

I can rock the house when desired but if quietness is necessary, I don't lose the voices.

Connection is like this:

media hdmi out > hdmi in soundbar > soundbar hdmi out > hdmi in TV
choose hdmi on the soundbar with the soundbar remote source button
choose the TV's correct hdmi source
all should work

I needed to turn things off and on the first time and select the TV's hdmi more than once.

The sub seemed to be out of sync at first but shortly worked things out on its own.

Here is the manual.
