A:AnswerThey are about six inches tall by 3x3 and they do not connect to the sub woofer. They have a small power box that plugs into the wall behind my couch for power and the two speakers plug into that for the electrical power. That small box connects via Bluetooth to the sound bar.
A:AnswerHello Jazzcat9 - The HW-Q850T soundbar is 5.1.2. The sounbdbar alone is a 3.1.2 channel system with Dolby Atmos andAccoustic Beam 2.0 technology working as your Atmos speakers. When you connect the rear speaker, which is included you will obtain 5.1.2 channel sound. ^Cris
A:AnswerJP- The soundbar should be one with the television if you have it connected HDMI to the ARC HDMI port on the television. The TV sees the sound bar as the TV speakers when connected this way. ^Cris
A:AnswerI have a Comcast Xfinity X1 cable box. I have had syncing issues as well, mostly with combined Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmost content. I recommend installing the August 24 firmware update. That seemed to fix my sync problem. The firmware update may also improve other soundbar issues. It’s important, too, to download and read the separate instructions for how to do firmware updates. Pay particular attention to the instructions about how the zipped and unzipped files should to be placed on the flash drive. If that's not the same, the firmware update may not install. You need to buy a microUSB-to-US adapter if you do the update that way. I have a different TV (Sony), however, and your results may be different and require other adjustments.
A:AnswerHi there, the soundbar and sub will work just fine if you choose not to use the rears at this time. Just put them aside for safekeeping should you want to use them later. Have a great day! ^Scott
A:AnswerHaven't experienced that. I did notice that there are differences in volume depending on the audio "settings" you chose.
For instance, the remote control for the Soundbar has different audio settings. Different settings have different effects on the volume. I've left settings on "surround" and the level for that is about 20 and I have a good size den.
A:AnswerI'm almost positive it will pass Dolby Vision to the TV if you have an external device plugged into the soundbar HDMI In. I have the previous Q70R and it doesn't list Dolby Vision for passthrough either, and it absolutely does passthrough just fine. Samsung is simply not in the Dolby Vision camp, their TV's don't support it, so they prefer to avoid discussing/giving it any attention at all when they are pushing for HDR10+ as the alternative to DV.
A:AnswerNo,you cannot use the remote to control the TV. The soundbar remote is used to adjust settings for the soundbar but your TV remote can be set to turn on the soundbar along with your TV and adjust the volume.
A:AnswerHi Iceman! The HW-Q850T includes a wall mount bracket in the box allowing you to mount the soundbar directly to the wall. If you are utilizing a full motion wall mount for the TV, the following link is a Rocketfish mounting adapter which will allow the soundbar to move and swivel along with the TV wall mount: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/rocketfish-universal-soundbar-mounting-system-black/6354301.p?skuId=6354301
The rear speakers are compatible with universal stand or mounting solutions giving you a wide range of options that will work best for your space. ^Tim
