Why can't they get a soundbar right?!
This is my third Samsung branded soundbar. Why do I keep buying these things from them? Every single model has some glaring design flaw. This sound bar is made to power off after 5 minutes of no sound. Not a big deal right? WRONG. I bought this sound bar specifically to use the HDMI ARC input with my Samsung 4K TV and 4K Apple TV. When I turn the AppleTV on, it turns the TV and the Soundbar on together with one remote (great!). They I get a snack come back, and the Soundbar is off. The only way to get it back is to walk over and turn it on OR turn everything off and back on again. Samsung has officially said the only way to change the "power saving" feature is to use the AUX in cable, however it then can't turn on with my Samsung TV or AppleTV. So frustrating.
