  • Audio
    • Number of Channels: 5.1.2 (The number of discrete channels of sound output. This can be a single number or multiple numbers separated by decimal(s). The first number is the primary, horizontally directed audio channels. The number after the first decimal, if applicable, is the number of subwoofer outputs or channels. The number after the second decimal, if applicable, is the number of height or atmospheric channels designed to immerse the listener by producing overhead sound effects.)
    • Surround Sound Supported: DTS Digital Surround, DTS:X, Dolby Atmos (Surround sound systems use multiple audio channels and speakers to create an immersive sound experience for the listener. There are also various proprietary technologies that imitate this kind of sound via a device's built-in speakers or soundbar.)
    • High Resolution Audio: true (Hear music the way musicians and sound technicians intended it to be heard. Products that support hi-res audio deliver audio signals with a dynamic range and bandwidth far greater than that of a standard CD so you'll be able to enjoy pure music with outstanding sound quality. The device supports high-resolution audio signals, which more closely resemble the quality of music as it was originally recorded, with more texture and detail than can be heard via typical music streaming services or CDs.)
    • Minimum Frequency Response: 34 hertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The minimum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
    • Maximum Frequency Response: 17 kilohertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The maximum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)

    • Video Pass-through: 2160 (4K), 3D, HDR (Devices with this feature allow video signals to travel from their source to a target device without alteration. For example, a receiver with 4K pass-through would allow 4K video signal from a Blu-ray player to pass to a target TV with surround sound; without the pass-through ability, the receiver would not allow both 4K video and surround sound to be transmitted simultaneously.)

Q: I just purchased this sound bar and I want to know is it truly necessary to add wireless rear speakers to enhance sound quality or will this sound bar sound great without the aid of rear speakers?

A: No it sounds great without them. The extra speakers is a waste of money when you consider the technology used in the bar and sub.

Q: I use Night mode on my current sound bar to enhance voice dialogue during movies. These do not have a Night mode. How is dialogue and voice clarity, what modes are best for this?

A: At low volume I have not needed Night Mode. I have had no problems hearing vocals clearly. You can easily adjust the level of the sub from the remote or even mute the sub without entering any menus should you have the need.

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

A: 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.

Q: I purchase this sound bar a few month ago, like tons of others on the internet the HDMI (ARC) seems to stop working. Spoke with samsung 3 times now like others and had it sent in and they said it was fixed it wasn't. I say not worth the money

A: I couldn't agree with you more on the HDMI ARC - I was on the phone with Geek Squad after spending a ridiculous amount of time trying to troubleshoot, including the manuals, youtube videos, etc...bascially the Geek Squad support person said that the 'sometimes' just don't work. Not sure how that can be an answer in this day and age.

Q: Do you think adding the sw900 rear speakers significantly enhances the sound quality of my Q80R sound bar?

A: We just bought that rear speaker kit, and we're really happy with them. The system just sounds a little fuller in our large family room, and special effects are amazing. If you're mainly focussed on dialog or music, there's no need for the rear speakers.

Q: Do you have to have a QLED tv for this to work? I have a Sharp Aquos so it's about 9 years old.

A: No we also have an older sharp TV and it works beautifully. As long as you have HDMI you should be good...
