Hi guys,

Just to update I've finally get the q90r at rm3.6k from a dealer in Penang.
The soundbar setup is as below
PC > (hdmi2) > q90r > (hdmi arc) > q60r TV

A few things to share.
1. Playing Netflix direct from TV manage to output Atmos (Atmos is shown in display). No extra settings needed.

2. However, I was unable to setup Atmos via Dolby Access as my pc somehow can't select Atmos in Sound > spatial settings. Still not yet solve it. Appreciate if any sifu here can help.

3. Both my phone (installed smart things) and q90r connect to same WiFi and manage to update the main unit without prob. Some extra steps needed to ensure woofer and rear get updated as well. There's no guide or notice given in the app to tell you about it.
To update them: Turn the soundbar on, and wait until there is any text on the display, then press and hold the DOWN button on the remote for about 6 seconds until the display shows UPDATE. The display on the soundbar will cycle UPDATE > BYE > ON. This takes about 5 minutes.

4. The reason I'm plugging in to hdmi2 is because I had lipsync issue when using hdmi1. I have yet to try again after updating. Will update you guys again if anyone interested to know more.

Just bought the HW-Q70R for my dad for Fathers day/Be-lated Bday. Should be arriving today/tmr.
So far that looks like the most affordable-decent Atmos SB compared to others. I know there is the Sony HT-X9000F but wanted real upfiring speakers compared to some DSP effect for "ATMOS" effect.

Anyone owns the Q70R? Read that the soundstage width is poor although the height is not bad sweat.gif

Your laptop hdmi port not arc enabled. Try Bluetooth.

Sony HT-ST5000 was released quite some time but the price still very high. Was thinking to get a good deal after some time but no luck haha. Anyone can share where to get a good deal on this sound bar?
