A: seems in my case red light was due to mute on in-built mic for alexa.....
A: But the fact is that multi channel lpcm is not working at all on the EARC port… any fix in sight?
Q: What speaker stands will work with this?
A: Mounting Dream Height Adjustable Speaker Stands Pair with Wire Management, model HM5402-1 - these worked very well. The stand's speaker attachment plate is just the right size for these speakers. The overall look is solid. Additional benefit is that the wire management pass-through hole is big enough to get the speaker's power cord through. Highly recommend.
Q: How do I adjust the volume on the surround-rear speakers? Where is the setting for that?
A: Hi Dave! When pressing the Sound Control button on your Soundbar remote (looks like a gear), you will be able to select REAR LEVEL and use the Up/Down buttons to adjust the volume within a -6 to +6 range. If you are still unable to adjust the volume, please contact Samsung Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Soundbars), 8AM -12AM EST (Mon-Fri), 9AM – 6PM EST (Sat), text HELP to 62913, LiveChat on Samsung.com, or Email: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/#contact_us_for_support ^Tim
A: Hi Newbie! You can certainly use the soundbar without the subwoofer connected, however the subwoofer provides the immersive bass to pair with the exceptional clarity and surround performance of the other speakers. ^Tim
A: Hi LetsG0Os! Thank you for inquiring about our brand-new 2021 HW-Q950A Soundbar. SpaceFit Sound is only compatible with 2021 Samsung QLED TVs, but you will still be able to enjoy features like Q-Symphony, Active Voice Amplifier, and Adaptive Sound! The HW-Q950A also features Auto EQ Technology (new to 2021), which uses a microphone mounted in the subwoofer to detect and correct low-frequency response peaks caused by the room dimensions and the subwoofer location. Great news - the SWA-9500S Rear Kit included with the Q950A Soundbar no longer requires a receiver module! The rear speakers will require a power source - that is the only cable you will need to connect to them. ^Gina
Q: Is it possible to install the rear speakers on the roof?
A: No it is not. The speakers have the height part for Atmos. So they need space above them to shoot that sound up.
A: Hi RGMostWanted: The 2020 Q950T is a 9.1.4 channel Dolby Atmos soundbar with features like built-in Alexa, Adaptive Sound, Game Pro Mode, Tap Sound, HDMI eARC support, and Q-Symphony (when paired with a compatible Samsung QLED TV). The Q950T includes the SWA-9000S Rear Speakers, and a premium Kvadrat fabric design. The 2021 Q950A is an 11.1.4 channel Dolby Atmos soundbar which includes all of the above features, as well as SpaceFit Sound+ (when paired with a compatible Samsung QLED TV) and AirPlay 2. The Q950A also includes our new SWA-9500S Rear Speaker Kit with Dolby Atmos technology, which no longer require a wireless module connection. ^Patty
