Q: When will this item be back in stock?

A: Im sure production is holding it up. A little difference between manufacturing for Malaysia and the US.

Q: Does the soundbar need to be connected by wire to the TV? And does the soundbar need to plug into an electrical outlet? Thank you.

A: Yes you need an HDMI 4K cable to get the best output from TV. You also need a power outlet for the power cord. The back speakers and subwoofer connect via Bluetooth to the sound bar, but all three need power outlets to function.

Q: How is this different then the Samsung Q950A? What benefits does this have that the 950A doesn't? Thanks!

A: It has a higher power woffer. The main bar has a metal screen as opposed to fabric, nice upgrade to better handle pet hair and dust. The display for the bar was moved from the top of the unit to the front of the unit so you can read what input its on without needing to see the top of the bar. This model also supports a wireless connection to your Samsung TV so you don't need to directly connect it to your TV. If you want full ATMOS over wireless I think you need the latest model year of Samsung tv, but it connected to my last years model just fine. The rear speakers may be a little higher power too but I would suggest you google the specs to confirm that.

Q: What is the difference between the rear speakers included with the sound bar and the SWA-9500S rear speakers?

A: Hi SoundBox, The rear speakers included with the HW-Q990B Soundbar are newly designed in 2022 so they will have an improved aesthetic look. Internally the rears feature front-firing, side-firing, and top-firing speakers. The SWA-9500S Wireless Rear Speakers feature front-firing and top-firing speakers. ~Samsung Solutions

Q: Are rear surround speakers wired to sound bar? Require any power, electrical outlet for power?

A: Rear speaker is connect wirelessly with sound bar but it require electrical outlet to power the rear speaker

Q: Can the rear speakers be wall mounted and would there be any loss in audio quality or Dolby Atmos performance when doing so?

A: The rear speakers can be wall mounted. Atmos performance will depend on a number of things including room size, height to the ceiling, type of ceiling and so on. As the system uses top-mounted drivers on the soundbar and the rear speakers for Atmos keeping everything relatively in-line helps the overall sound output.

Q: How many watts is the system?

A: Hi bri114, The total wattage of the HW-Q990B Soundbar is 656W. ~Samsung Solutions
