Samsung HW-K450 How do I get the display to work? There is no display. Everything is working BUT the display (on the soundbar). Connected via optical cable.

The sound bar and the subwoofer could of had quit working and and no longer works anymore. You will have to by a new soundbar and see if it can work.

The AH59-02330A remote came with the Samsung HW-D550 sound bar. It is not a universal remote control and will only control Samsung TVs. (The remote may also work with other Samsung audio devices, including the HW-DW551.) Samsung has the manual on the HW-D550 support page: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/2011-2-1-channel-soundbar-hw-d550-hw-d551 . See page 10 of the manual for the limits of the remote. The current link to the manual is https://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201102/20110201172514949/HW-D550-D551-USA-ENG-IB_cms_0126.pdf .

Since the HW-D550 was manufactured in 2011, the AH59-02330A remote probably doesn't work with all Samsung TVs built after that date. Manufacturers change codes fairly often. This means that newer universal remotes can control older devices. The reverse is never guaranteed.

I wish that I had better news for you.

By "reset the remote," did you mean you reset the TV to factory defaults? If so, you would need to reconfigure your sound settings.

yes, hdmi cabels carries audio signals as well as video.

Please get a optical cable and run it from TV to soundbar for best sound. If you are using aux input on sound bar that will work but it is analog sound. TV needs to have mini audio out or red/white output on it maybe labeled audio out

Because your TV is not Bluetooth-enabled and you are trying to connect it to a Bluetooth-enabled soundbar via Bluetooth. There are other ways to connect your TV to the soundbar:

1. analog AUDIO OUT (L/R) of your TV to the AUX IN on the soundbar (use a 3.5 mm.-to-RCA audio cable).
2. Optical OUT on your TV to Optical IN on the soundbar.
3. HDMI port to HDMI port (this may not work if your TV is not ARC compliant you have to try).

You get better sound quality with option 2.or 3. (if this one works for your TV)

Here is the link to download the soundbar's User Manual for help with the connections:

Here is a link to your product description. When you get to the web page, click on the "Manual" tab to read the user's manual to find out how you can connect your soundbar to your TV.

My Samsung AirTrack soundbar was showing my iPhone 5 and my iPhone 5 was showing the soundbar was available. However, when I tried to connect them I got an error saying the connection was unsuccessful. So what I did was "forget device" and then paired them again. It worked right away. I hope this works!

Yep... the "formula" is generally this:

"IF it's electronic, MOST failures happen in the first 30 days".

THAT is written in stone somewhere on a tomb wall.

But THIS MAY be your answer:

"I too, put up with the "Audio Hiccups" for months and after trying nearly everything, including replacing all my connections and even the sound bar itself, I realized that it had to be something in the software or settings. So ... I went into Settings/Audio and changed the Digital Audio Output from "Auto" to "PCM" ... it worked!!! I haven't had any problems with the audio since; hope this helps you, my friend."

Here is a great insightful Link for you:
