Hi, guys, currently i have Samsung NU8000 (2018) TV and thinking to upgrade my soundbar
Right now all console connect to Sony NT-HT5 and one HDMI from the Arc to NU8000

TV Model: Samsung NU8000
Soundbar: Sony NT-HT5
Console: Playstation 4 & Nintendo Switch

Question 1: As per you guys mention, the content/source must have Atmos in order to have Atmos output from soundbar, how do i know that my TV support atmos? FYI Netflix subscriber right now btw.
Add on: I will buy Playstation 5 next time which i not sure it support ATMOS or not.

Question 2: Which sound bar actually perform better? Right now i aiming for Q900T, Q800T and Q70T but kinda dilemma to go for which one.

From Harvey Norman right now:
Q900T - RM3,497
Q800T - RM2,797
Q70T - RM2,377

Dun think TV has Atmos

Yea 2018

Ok, but right now latest sound bar all only has max 2 hdmi port which one of it is ARC/eARC reserve for TV which means it left one, right ?

So meaning consoles all connect to TV and sound output from soundbar?

For Atmos experience, go for Apple TV 4K or maybe the upcoming Google Chrome Cast (if it has atmos)
TV native app obsolete, right ?

T series mostly has 2 HDMI ports left

Oh no, u poisoning me XD

Thanks for the info but I don't think i will get current gen Apple TV 4k with A10 chip, might as well monitor for next gen see.

My NU8000 right now also has the Apple TV app built in.
My main right now are YouTube and Netflix also XD

Later i go check Harvey Norman see any R series left, what's the best price range now for Q90R and Q80R ?

The Q900T is at RM3,497

Still dont have time to go store to survey T___T

Busy month day day OT till late time

Wanna snake to check Q900T/Q950T

Just bought Q950T

Yesterday done all setup and all working good.

This morning I turned my router to begin use WPA3 security and it seems like this soundbar cannot connect to it.

But my NU8000 Samsung TV connect no issue

So I connect my soundbar to my guest network which is not WPA3/WPA2(AES) and it connected

However there’s one issue now which is when I turn on my TV, it will not trigger my soundbar to turn on >.<

Is it because both network not same?
TV: main network
Sound bar: guest network

I thought CEC or ARC will trigger?

End up i think it's the "Smart hub feature" broken

I have to disable "launch the last app" feature.

If i turn off TV with YouTube app and turn on next, Youtube app will launch but it won't trigger the soundbar
I have to manual go to menu there switch >.<

Seriously ? The latest Google Sabrina (Chromecast) can output dolby atmos?



https://www.soyacincau.com/2020/09/29/chrom...h-announcement/

Other site put Dolby Vision only actually from what i read last few days


But this gets me hype also

RM200~300 to get Dolby Atmos device to test

Yea they just announced this early morning.

Btw, if i purchase that chromecast with google TV, which HDMI port i must connect?
Is it any port of my Q950T ?

TV > eARC/ARC
Google TV dongle > Hdmi 1 or 2 and still able to feature Dolby ATMOS ?

Man, after bought Q950T, I’m really quite headache about it.

Been almost a week already but issue keeps happening.

Right now the only issue is the disconnection of the Subwoofer whenever i turn on my sound bar from standby.

Whenever i turn off (standby) my TV after one movie, the sound bar will turn off (standby), then subwoofer and rear goes into standby mode as well with RED LED behind showing.

Then next time when i turn on the TV > Soundbar turn on (finally solved) > Sub and rear back will turns blue

HOWEVER, there will be no sound from Sub and rear when i play a movie with 5.1 for example.
* I don’t have 7.1 or atmos device as of right now btw.

The LED of sub and rear is solid blue but it just doesnt produce sound.
Then i check with the pairing button of the 3 devices and only sub cannot do the pairing (meaning i hold for 5 seconds but it wont goes standby > blinking)
The 2 rears can blinking and ID set but again, no sound.

The whole mess will be connected once i unplug the power plug of the subwoofer and reconnect it.
THEN the whole system will be connected and sound produced as normal.
Hence, the issue is the subwoofer connection - i also checked samsung forum and this happen since Q90R series actually and not even solved until now.

Right now my solution is to disconnect the Subwoofer from powering up =.=

Anyone facing this issue? I saw some comments actually pin point to the 5GHz of WiFi router channel that mess up the frequency of the subwoofer.

Dunno how right now..

Ignore the sub first? Sigh

Yea, using the auto link but still the sub is conflicting with my WiFi, need to do power cycle.

Later I might try move away my sub away from my router and see problem exist or not

Gonna test again today with differ position

Sigh, the sub really kinda disappointing on the wireless issue, always need a power cycle to become normal.

Else it will affect both rear speakers.

Actually reset for few times dy on day 2

But as per samsung community, this is a wide known issues.

https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/audio-v...ht/true/page/42

Seriously not sure is samsung issue or what, still no firmware update release to fix the prob

Everytime i need to power cycle my sub to connect all 3 wireless speakers (rear x 2 and sub x1 )

Right now i just disconnect my Sub to stop the issue =.=

Everything is solid blue, but no sound output >.<
Sometime the rear only right side has sound but the sound mimic to the soundbar output there, meaning not "surround" style.

Press the "Sync" button on SUB wont change to standby > Blink also, need power cycle

Which issue u faced prior to firmware update (1016) ?

I actually got this after the firmware release so when i initial setup, it actually straight update mine from TV connection

You mean you cant turn on soundbar from just turn on the TV ?

Which TV model you connecting to the soundbar?

I have this issue until i turn off the "Last app launch" in smart hub setting in my Samsung NU8000

Owh, then i'm not sure how d
