Will the new hw q80r shut off like the hw n850 after 5 min of paused movie. null

Question

BADog · Accepted Answer

Q80 should do everything the N850 did. Based on specs and my experience with the two, the changes from last year to this year are a name change and a couple of cosmetic changes (dark gray to black chasis, smaller Harmon Kardon label on top of bar, circular fabric over the subwoofer driver instead of cloth covering the entire side). Oh, and they now offer 1 more wifi audio service in addition to Tune-in. They offer Deezer too. Still no Pandora or Spotify via the Smartthings app unfortunately.

I’ve paused movies, tv shows, etc. for 15-20 minutes occasionally when I have to walk my dog. The Q80 does not power off.

No, I have not seen the problem yet and I pause all the time. And yes the n-850 did that all the time. Very frustrating.

It does have an automatic shut off - I haven’t tried 5 mins but mine is synced to the TV - so when I shut off the TV the bar automatically shuts off. If I leave it on without the TV being and no sound is playing from Bluetooth or other sources it will shut off

I have not personally seen this happened yet. At least not after 5 minutes. I will keep my eye (and ear) on that!
