QuestionDoes it have up-firing speakers for Atmos effect?
Asked 6 years ago by leophile.
- Answer 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.

QuestionOther than larger subwoofer, what is different between the Samsung - 5.1-Channel 360W Soundbar System model HW-Q60R/ZA and Samsung Harman Kardon - 3.1.2-Channel 330W Soundbar model #HW-Q70R/ZA. Which is better and why?
Asked 6 years ago by Vaughn.
- Answer 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.

QuestionDoes the passthrough allow for dolby vision?
Asked 5 years ago by saiyanzzrage.
- Answer 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.

QuestionWhen connected to phone via Bluetooth, are their any adjustments required to the tv audio?
Asked 5 years ago by ARTG.
- Answer 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.

QuestionI have had this for about 3 years. It has started to have sound issues. What is the normal life expectancy? For this price, I would think it would be more than 3 years.
Asked 2 years ago by PaulB.
- Answer Try using the Samsung smarthings app, connecting soundbar to your internet network and see if the app will install a firmware update. I just did. Recently, I was experiencing audio issues with soundbar. That appears to have resolved issues. I am monitoring and will next try changing HDMI cable.
