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.

Sorry just a quick edit..... When I say I have tried this before I have done a similar thing but my software looks very different to that on the video, and I have no reciever option to select.

Yea, that's for older models.

I will do my best to reproduce my results and get everything on video so that we can provide clear evidence of what we are experiencing.

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

Quick edit
The HDMI cable has to be the latest standard
And once your TV find your sound bar D.IN will change to TV-ARC

As this uses the same input as a the optical, u might get the louder sound on the rears with the functionality of the TV been able to control the sound

Wow. I will definitely investigate this. Hopefully it does exactly as you say. Now I just need to run an HDMI to my soundbar behind the wall.

Sorry Madtuts, I misunderstood. I seem to have all that set up OK but I was looking for "Receiver" in my list of speakers but it does not appear. I think my TV is a newer version than that shown on the video.
