Hi could someone on the community give me some advice if at all possible I have just purchased the HW-Q60R Soundbar to match the HW-Q60R TV and would like to know what rear surround sound speakers would possibly work to make my setup complete as the soundbar is a great product in my view but just like to finish it off with a nice set of rear speakers to make it sound real so if any kind person can give me some advice on this matter I would be very grateful and it would be very much appreciated many thanks in advance Nick
Hi the truth is I would not like to say in theory they should work as there is not a lot of difference between the Re: HW-Q60R and the HW-Q70R soundbars but if you did a bit of research online you might get a different aspect of the whole setup so if you are not completely sure then I would not take the risk of spending extra money if you are not 100% sure but that is all I could say to you so I am sorry I am not much help to you
MPL81 Explorer what I did was follow the instructions in the manual of the HW-Q60R Soundbar and all you need to do is in the HW-Q60R Soundbar manual and go to the page where it says setting up the SWA-8500S as surround sound speakers I am no techy or anything close to that but all I did was follow the instructions and it worked a treat and that's all I can say
Thanks mate. It seems weird that Samsung insist that only the 8500s will work with the Q60 when that's not the case. Unhelpful for customers and they will lose sales.
Hi MPJ81 Explorer, yes I quite agree they say only the 8500s will work with the q60 soundbar but it is not the case I even phoned Samsung and believe it or not they told me the same only the model 8500s but by me taking a huge risk on spending a lot of money on the 9000s and hoping they worked or the Mrs would have killed me if not but I just followed the instructions and hey presto they worked and my Mrs when she heard the surround sound come out of the rear speakers she was very much impressed so I hope you understand and get the big kick out of the rear speakers is the same joy we have and also you can fiddle with the soundbar remote and instructions to get the best sound out of them as they do punch a nice little punch all I can say I hope you can set them up as I did
I followed the instructions from the Samsung soundbar manual and followed the instructions from the SWA-9000s manual as well and found it was quite easy once I read both manuals and being a disabled person with help from my partner ( carer ) I found it very straight forward I hope I have helped you
