Why does my Samsung hw-h550 cut out?
The bluetooth option is great to have when friends want to take turns at DJing, however there were times when it would cut out (possibly due to range). So make sure to keep whatever you are trying to play through bluetooth at a close visible range for it to not cut out.

What kind of HDMI do I need for my Samsung sound bar?
Samsung 2017 650 series or above all support 4k pass-thru, so you should be good to go. HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) is the neatest TV feature you’ve probably never heard of. ARC lets certain TVs and soundbars transfer audio back and forth using one HDMI cable. In other words, you can use the HDMI port as both an input and audio output.
