About the Samsung HW-H600 SoundStand
Raise your TV's audio performance
Raise your TV's audio performance
Samsung is always devising new ways to fit great sound into your life. Their innovative HW-H600 SoundStand is a slim sound system and platform for your TV. Similar to a sound bar, it features six built-in speakers — each with their own amplifier — that transform your TV's sound from thin and weak to robust and powerful. Unlike a sound bar, you don't have to make room in front of your TV or mount it on the wall. This sturdy system fits under your TV, supporting most sets with screen sizes up to 60 inches. The attractive, slim design is a nice contrast from larger platform-style speakers.
Samsung's HW-H600 fits under your TV while delivering clear, robust sound from a slim all-in-one speaker system.
Clear sound, all around
You'll enjoy movies and TV shows much more when you hear them the way they're supposed to sound. The HW-H600's built-in speakers deliver crisp high-frequency detail, clear midrange that makes dialogue stand out, and deep bass response to give sound effects impact. Select from listening modes to optimize your sound for different programs, such as sports, music, and movies. Samsung's Crystal Sound Pro uses digital signal processing to filter out distortion and noise to ensure clean sound. Surround sound expansion makes sure that sound is delivered across a wide soundstage, so there's more than just one "best seat in the house."
Bluetooth on board for more than just music
Keep your smartphone around when you're near this sound bar. It's got Bluetooth onboard, so you can wirelessly stream music from your device to the bar for rich, full-range sound that fills your room. You can even turn on the sound bar with your Bluetooth-compatible device by simply pairing them. If you have a Bluetooth-compatible Samsung TV, you can connect the HW-H600 to it wirelessly, giving you a little more setup flexibility. That's a lot more Bluetooth functionality than we're used to seeing in sound bars or most other home audio components.
Play music from a USB thumb drive
The HW-H600 SoundStand has another cool feature not found on many sound bars: a USB port. You can load up a thumb drive with your favorite digital music, pop it in the rear-panel port, and let the music play. In addition to lossy files like MP3, the 'H600 also plays WAV and lossless FLAC files.

Connected without fuss to my Samsung Smart TV. Crisp, clear sound. Plenty of volume when needed. Only complaint is it will not sync with TV remote when power is turned on. Has to be turned on with remote provided with the unit. It will power off with TV remote.
