Samsung TV & Audio HW-B650 3.0 Channel 330 Watt Soundbar with DTS Virtual:X and Bluetooth B650 BASS MANAGE Error Fix: Bass Hump / Gap at Crossover Between Soundbar and Subwoofer

Error code B650 BASS MANAGE on the Samsung TV & Audio HW-B650 3.0 Channel 330 Watt Soundbar with DTS Virtual:X and Bluetooth means: Bass Hump / Gap at Crossover Between Soundbar and Subwoofer. Audible bass hump (boomy one-note bass) or dip at the crossover frequency between the soundbar and wireless subwoofer, typically around 80-120 Hz. The HW-B650's fixed crossover frequency creates an overlap or gap depending on room acoustics and subwoofer placement. Fixes: (1) experiment with subwoofer placement — corner placement increases bass, open wall placement is more balanced, (2) adjust subwoofer level with Woofer +/- on remote to balance, (3) try different sound modes — "Standard" is most neutral, (4) avoid placing subwoofer under furniture which can create resonance. The crossover is not user-adjustable on this model. If persistent, try moving the subwoofer to different positions to find the best integration with the room.
