Hi Newbie, here hoping someone can give me a quick steer.

I have a hw-ms 650. I have just purchased an R6 did add a bit of back speaker. I own a 2017 samsung tv as well. I do not seem to be able to connect both the 650 and r6 simultaneously? the 650 is connected via a hdmi lead as well as potentially wifi.

I have down loaded the samsung multiroom app and both units connect to it on the same wifi network that the tv connects to. Both the 650 and the r6 appear in the app and using speaker selection on the tv i can listen to both units independantly but not together.

I can not select the multilink setting on the tv, i spoke to samsung and they told me i need to purchase another r6? i am loathe to do this as i am not after a 5.1 type solution, just wanted a bit of a sound out put behind me.

So any way to get the two units working together? any help appreciated, many thanks

I think the surround option only shows up when you have at least two Radiant speakers connected.

 

You can still pair your soundbar with R6 as multiroom "Group" and listen to music like that, but you won't be able to play tv sound through it

I made the same mistake. You need two rear speakers for your setup to configure for surround sound. Hope this helps.

I don't think anyone here has two different types of speakers. R6 is the weird shaped one with a battery right?

 

My bet is that they would connect, but will probably sound weird as they are different speakers.

 

Be sure to buy somewhere you can return!

No, ms650 only works with swa-w700 sub. It's expensive but iveI read it is really good.

 

Also if you have ms650 you might consider buying dedicated rear speakers for it, swa-9000. They should be less problematic than radiants, and you can use the remote to control them. They are also cheap, i think they cost less than a single r6
