When using the K650 sound bar and two R1 Wireless speakers in surround sound mode over wifi with the latest firmware, The quailty of the sound K650 drops, sounds very muddy. As soon as you use the sound bar on it own, the sound bar improves. this is happening for a quite a few users.
can you help.

Hi Madtuts
Yes I have tried this........... Many times over time playing with both only app setup and only TV setup....... All with same results
Interestingly it states 5.1 only available when using the HW J8500/1 soundbar as per snapshot below.
abob36 has posted some interesting info and hopefully has some good results

That video answers my question (in a previous post) about whether other sound bars like HW J8500/1 work correctly with Radiants for 5.1 over WiFi, though the video doesn't actually demonstrate the resulting sound. Were it so simple! The method shown is like one I tried last night. Athough I don't have the receiver option in Select Speaker, I couldn't get it to work using TV-ARC as input, rather than optical.
I wonder if Samsung have compared the two soundbars side by side? If they have and the results are the same, perhaps they could publish a step-by-step guide guaranteed to function correctly.
Just a thought but I have a mini OneConnect box. Could that be a factor adversely affecting connectivity?

For TV-ARC to work Anynet+ has to be turned on, on the TV and on the sound bar
to then connect a HDMI 2 cable between the ARC ports on the sound bar and TV
Then on the sound bar select the input D.IN and the TV will find your sound bar
once this has happened you can select receiver
and by using this method your Tv remote will control the sound bar
hope this helps as it uses the D.IN
