A:AnswerHi Ellie,
The HW-B650 Soundbar has the ability to increase the center channel which is where the dialogue is played through.
By pressing the CHIN LEVEL button, you can adjust the volume of the each speaker.
• Press the button to select CENTER LEVEL and then adjust the volume between -6 ~ +6 by using the Up/Down buttons.

A:AnswerHi there,
One of the biggest benefits that the HW-B650 Soundbar offers is a center channel. What that does for you is this channel is where the dialogue is produced from, and only the dialogue. Meaning when you are watching an action movie, you will hear the explosions from the left and right channels, but the dialogue is the only thing that will come from the center channel.

A:AnswerHi TW,
With the HW-Q60B Soundbar you will have the ability to use the feature known as Q-Symphony. This will allow you to have the soundbar and the TV speakers player in sync to give you a larger and better sound stage. Plus the HW-Q60B has the ability to play Dolby Atmos content, whereas the HW-B650 Soundbar does not.
~Samsung Solutions
A:AnswerThe specifications make no mention of Atmos. It does not support eARC, I had to go to Samsung online support and wade through fifteen minutes of questions before they told me this.
A:AnswerHi kplu,
The HW-B650 Soundbar has the ability to connect using a Digital Optical, Bluetooth, or HDMI connection. If your TV has one of these inputs then you're all set.

A:AnswerHi Cannotwait,
The HW-B650 Soundbar does not have Q-Symphony as a feature, for that you will need to move up to the Q-Series lineup of soundbars.

A:AnswerHi kentuckyblue,
You can use your direct tv remote if it isn't a Bluetooth remote, if it needs to be paired up to the cable/satellite cable then it won't work.
1. Turn Off the Soundbar.
2. Push up and hold the WOOFER button for 5 seconds.
Each time you push the WOOFER button up and hold it for 5 seconds, the mode switches in the
following order: “OFF-TV REMOTE” (Default mode), “SAMSUNG-TV REMOTE”, “ALL-TV REMOTE”.

A:AnswerHi Jeff,
The HW-B650 Soundbar comes with mounting hardware that will allow you to mount it to the wall. You can use those same holes on the bottom of the soundbar to mount to third party brackets as well. The screws used to mount the soundbar with the provided equipment are M4 x L10. The weight of the HW-B650 Soundbar is 6.8lbs as well.

A:AnswerHello LisaOC,
The HW-B650 Soundbar will be able to connect using HDMI, but you will need to use the remote from your soundbar instead of only using the TV remote to control both.
