Samsung soundbars are a great way to improve the sound quality of your TV without necessarily getting a home theatre set. While they come in different sizes and price points, any you get to choose from will carry the signature manufacturing quality of Samsung.<\/span><\/p>\n Being a great soundbar, there\u2019s very little that can go wrong while using it. However, there can be some minor exceptions once in a while \u2013 and we will be looking at some in subsequent writing.<\/span><\/p>\n In this article, we’ll be giving a step-by-step guide on how to factory reset your Samsung soundbar. If you\u2019ve been looking to troubleshoot your device or learn in case you eventually get one, you\u2019ll want to continue reading.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Doing a system reset is most times all your device needs to start working properly again. Whether you\u2019re having connection, audio, or power issues, it\u2019s usually one of the troubleshooting methods you\u2019ll want to try because it usually gets the job done.<\/span><\/p>\n There are two types of resets you can perform on a Samsung soundbar; soft reset which involves power cycling the system, and hard reset which can be done with your remote control or buttons on the soundbar.<\/span><\/p>\n A soft reset is the first troubleshooting method you want to explore because a factory reset completely erases your data and personal configuration on the soundbar. Soft resets are ideal for handling issues related to Bluetooth connection timeout, or audio distortion.<\/span><\/p>\n All you need do is remove the power cord, and disconnect other cables. Leave it for about 5 minutes, then plug it back in.<\/span><\/p>\n There are two methods for resetting a Samsung soundbar; with its remote control, and with the volume buttons on the soundbar.<\/span><\/p>\n Generally, you can solve pretty much any issue by factory resetting your soundbar, however, not all problems warrant that level of troubleshooting, especially if they can be done by simple power cycling.<\/span><\/p>\n If your system\u2019s Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, HDMI cable, or Optical cable is having an issue, a factory reset should be in order, even before you consider buying another cable to test things.<\/span><\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t matter if your issue is about audio-video syncing, distortion, or no sound at all, a factory reset is often the best decision to take. Your device will typically act in order if there are no problems with the speakers themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n If your Samsung soundbar is not performing as well as it used to, resetting can sometimes improve its performance. This is because most of the time, the problem is associated with what you\u2019ve set unknowingly while using the soundbar.<\/span><\/p>\n If you happen to be in the process of a firmware update but it stopped abruptly, or you did a recent firmware update that came with bugs to your device, a factory reset is the only way to solve the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n It is a good idea to reset your soundbar before selling or giving it away, to erase any personal settings or data. Not only does it remove you from the risk of giving out personal info, but it also sets up the recipient on the path of receiving the system as if it\u2019s new.<\/span><\/p>\n No, Samsung soundbars currently do not have a dedicated reset button. If you want to reset your soundbar, you\u2019ll need to use any of the two methods outlined above.<\/span><\/p>\n If you can confirm that you didn\u2019t confirm you make any physical damage to the device and a reset doesn\u2019t fix your issue, you may need to contact Samsung Support for assistance.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Samsung soundbars are a great way to improve the sound quality of your TV without necessarily getting a home theatre set.
