A: Hi Matt! Great question! Both models feature 11.1.4Ch audio for a true (& wireless) Dolby Atmos experience, Q-Symphony for synchronized TV+Soundbar audio, as well as features like SpaceFit Sound Pro, Adaptive Sound, and AVA (Active Voice Amplifier). New in 2024, our Q990D Soundbar introduces Private Rear Sound to allow you to watch TV without disturbing others – especially at night – by activating sound solely from the included rear speakers, upgraded Game Mode Pro to further optimize sound to each gaming genre while better separating 3D audio, and an enhanced music experience to enjoy Hi-Fi and Spatial Audio via Tidal Connect, Dolby Atmos Music, and Sound Grouping. Hope this helps! ~ Samsung Solutions
A: Hi there Michele! Yes, you can connect the HW-Q990D Soundbar to a receiver, but it depends on the models and connection options. It is designed to be a standalone audio system, so integrating it with a receiver and other speakers can sometimes result in poor audio quality. It's important to ensure compatibility and proper settings to avoid any issues. I would recommend streaming music wirelessly from a phone or other compatible device using either WiFi or Bluetooth. If you download the app for your iOS or Android device and then connect your Soundbar to Wi-Fi it will make streaming music easier. ~ Samsung Solutions
A: The Q990D functions well without the rear speakers and without error.

I had a Q-series 3.1.2 soundbar before this that I paired with separately sold rear speakers for a total of 5.1.4. That system was good, but there was some minor distortion at higher volumes during action sequences. Overall, that system was good, but this Q-990D system is excellent. No perceived distortion at higher levels, and it gets very loud. The sound fills a large living room extremely well. But it’s just about volume. The sound quality is superb, and that’s what I care most about. I would rather have quality over volume, if I have to pick one over the other. This sound system excels in both areas. With my Q990D paired with my 77” Samsung OLED tv, I really don’t see a reason to go to a theatre. Q-symphony really does work well. When you switch between the Q-symphony and Q-series soundbar options, there is a very big difference in sound. The Q-symphony setting makes this soundbar sound even better. It really does make a big difference. I scored this soundbar for only $900 about 6 weeks ago on a member deal that Best Buy was offering. Its performance is well above that $900 mark, and even at the current $1499 price tag, if that price is within your budget, I really believe it is worth the price. This soundbar consistently ranks at the top of best soundbar lists. If you buy this system, you will not be disappointed.

I’ve been blown away by the Q990D. At first, I had some trial and error with the equalizer and getting the right levels for my living room. But once I dialed it in, the experience completely changed. The sound quality is insane. The upfiring speakers are so realistic that during one show, when the characters’ upstairs neighbors were stomping around, I genuinely thought it was my upstairs neighbors making noise. The bass hits hard and fills the room without overwhelming the mids and highs. Together, it creates a true 360-degree surround effect that makes movies and shows feel completely immersive. If you want a home theater experience that feels alive, this soundbar delivers.
