The HW-F551 also decodes Dolby Digital, DTS and a healthy range of audio formats via USB, including MP3, AAC, WAV, WMA, OGG and FLAC.

What makes the Samsung hw-e551 sound bar different?

The other thing that sets the Samsung HW-E551 apart from many soundbars is that all the connections are found on the active subwoofer, which beams audio signals to the soundbar wirelessly. Again, that gives you a great deal of flexibility when it comes to placement, and cuts the amount of cables going into the soundbar down to one (the power lead).

Is the hw-f551 the same as the f751?

The HW-F551 lacks the automatic calibration and valve amp technology found on the HW-F751, but in every other respect it’s identical. Among its key features are Bluetooth and Sound Share support, the latter allowing you to send audio from a compatible Samsung TV to the soundbar.

Where is the USB port on the Samsung hw-f551?

The USB port is located separately from the others, and to make life easier when wall mounted Samsung supplies an angled USB adapter. The HW-F551 lacks the automatic calibration and valve amp technology found on the HW-F751, but in every other respect it’s identical.

Bluetooth is always welcome as it makes wireless music playback a cinch. The HW-F551 also decodes Dolby Digital, DTS and a healthy range of audio formats via USB, including MP3, AAC, WAV, WMA, OGG and FLAC.
