Samsung Series 5 N5300 (32") Questions & Answers

Hi, my son gave me a gadget from a playstation (RIG) that plugs into the optical output and I'm able to use headphones with that.

We appreciate the feedback you have provided on this, Cate. It has not gone unnoticed and will be passed on.

Thanks Samsung. Many people who are hard of hearing need options like Bluetooth. It's very important. Also I bought this TV and am very happy with how it's performing so far.

Samsung stated that they like feedback to improve their product. We previously had a Samsung UA32M5500AW which was great; Bluetooth, 3 HDMI ports, and great sound also was easier to set up. Had substantially placed stand that linked in with body of TV for stability. Unfortunately it died due to a liquid spillage. We immediately opted to buy the same again. I know samsung we should have read the data sheets. We did. The relevant bit of information from Samsung regarding several changes including Bluetooth ,is an asterisked statement “ this function may not be supported depending on your geographical area”. WE BOUGHT IT ON TRUST.

The new Model UA32n5300AW which Samsung has been beavering way to improve has: No Bluetooth 2 HDMI ports No headphone Jack Set up is tear hair hard Stand has been reduced to 2 plastic flimsy pieces of plastic held by 4g screws. These feet overhang so no room for a sound bar to fit.

So Samsung’s model “improvement”have been probably good for Samsung’s bottom line but is not an improvement for the consumer. Would we buy on trust again. NO WAY!

Haven't been shopping for weeks but intend to visit Jaycar to ask if there is a way to connect to a headphone jack. Inbuilt speaker has expected lack of range, especially bass, but lack of enough volume to overcome kitchen noise is a problem. I hope to fix both issues with a set of amplified satellite speakers. I'll post again when I get a result. Probably within two weeks.

The TV i s a bloody nightmare to setup. It will only set up with a mobile phone. There is no other way to do it and if I had known that I would have never ever bought that pile of junk. The 50" model was $695 and should have bought a second one of those which are easier to set up and do a far better picture. The later samsungs are not as good as last years models. Go Sony which are cheaper and do 3 year warranties over samsungs 12 month warranty.

thanks guys I had a look in the Good guys Today and harvey norman makes a big difference going in and having a look, ill check out the sony's. looking forward to seeing how you go Daverand cheers Stu

Hi Stuart, unfortunately the N5300 has no Bluetooth audio capabilities nor an audio out input.

Well I was going to JB Hifi to purchase the 32inch hd TV, however after reading the above I will have to look for an alternative .I have usually purchased Samsung products usually easy to setup so where has Samsung gone wrong, are they manufacturing from other sources. it is a pity as I really fancied the TV for the bedroom Ray Cooper Lilydale
