Good morning friends.
I've performed the firmware update for my HW-Q90R soundbar.
Given that there is no official statement from Samsung with the details of the update I would like to check with the community what new features have been included.
- How can I check now the firmware version on the bar, to check if the rears are updated as well? In the past just by holding the sound mode button on the remote with the soundbar off the different versions appeared on the display.
Now it is not case. Now by holding sound mode for 5 seconds with the bar off it enables a new functionality: Test Tone
NEW FEATURES
- EARC functionality is enabled, this is great.
- Test tone: What it this for? It performs a test of the sound of the different channels, is it useful for anything else?
- Now in the sources appeared TV SPEAKERS, what is this for?
I would like to check specially if the update has included any update of the rears and subwoffer
Solved! Go to Solution.

just got my q90r for my c9. bit of a noob question, but what hdmi cables do i need for earc to get atmos, vision lossless?
ultra, premium or just fast with ethernet? hard to find a straight answer.
You should definitely get cables that are at 48mbps speed. I have run into issues with hdmi 2.0 certified cables in the past that that were just used as input output cables. Best result I have had are with the Belkin 48mbps hdmi cables that ATV recommends you use.

Does it still give you the option to upgrade the firmware but then say no update found?

If it says no update available when downloading reaches 20%, probably your soundbar already on the latest 1010.5 firmware. You can check the firmware version by press & hold the sound mode button on the remote control for 15 seconds while the soundbar turn off(standby mode).
