- Do I need a Samsung TV to use it?
- No. It works as a standalone soundbar with any TV over HDMI or optical. Q-Symphony, which adds the TV's own speakers to the mix, only works with compatible Samsung TVs.
- Does Dolby Atmos need an HDMI cable?
- No. Samsung supports wireless Dolby Atmos, but the source and TV must support it. A wired HDMI eARC connection is the more reliable route for lossless Atmos from a Blu-ray player or console.
- Are the rear speakers really wireless?
- They receive audio wirelessly from the soundbar, so no speaker cable runs to the back of the room. Each rear speaker still needs its own power outlet.
- How does it compare with the Samsung Q990 series?
- The Q990 line sits above this one with more channels and more powerful drivers. This model keeps the 7.1.2 layout and wireless rears at a lower tier, so it is the better fit for medium rooms.
- What is in the box?
- The soundbar, wireless subwoofer, two wireless rear speakers, a remote and the power and connection cables. Check the listing for the exact included accessories.
- Will it work with a non-Samsung TV?
- Yes, over HDMI ARC/eARC or optical. You lose Q-Symphony and some Samsung-specific integration, but Atmos and surround playback still work.
