Q: Does it have up-firing speakers for Atmos effect?
A: Yes. What Samsung calls Acoustic Beam Technology. It's a flutelike tube at the top rear of the sound bar which has two speakers firing inward and projects sound upward.
A: the Q60R does NOT have adaptive sound and I believe it doesn't support Dolby ATMOS or DTS:X. It does have DTS virtual X though.
Q: Are you able to connect more speakers such as rear speakers to this setup?
A: Yes there is a matching set of small rear speakers that work well once you figure out how to use the remote to adjust their volume. They are sold separately but are reasonably priced
Q: Does this sound bar have to be updated to get Atmos
A: You can get Atmos but pay attention to the audio hook up. There is info for this in the supplied paper work and the on screen E-Manual.
Q: What rear speakers work with this set up?
A: Samsung makes a wireless set that connects very easy and works well. Model - SWA-8500S. *note: wireless only means from tv to surround base kit. then there is a power wire and there is speaker wires from the base to each speaker.
A: Try it both ways and see what sounds good to you.
Q: Does the passthrough allow for dolby vision?
A: I can!t say for 100%, but looking over all the spec sheets it does not mention Dolby Vision. Considering Samsung has not supported Dolby a Vision in their TVs I would not be surprised to see them NOT support it in this bar. I continue to search for the definitive answer as I am seriously considering this bar to replace the quirky LG SL9YG I just bough and must return.
Q: When connected to phone via Bluetooth, are their any adjustments required to the tv audio?
A: You should be fine but check the tv settings under audio to be sure the soundbar is the source of sound and not the tv itself. When I use wifi I occasionally need to check that on my Samsung TV. YMMV with a different tv manufacturer or not smart tv.
