Hello Community, I have recently bought the HW-Q800B soundbar and struggling figure out these two issues:
1. Alexa - I have set up the soundbar that it can be controlled via an Alexa device, but I want to use the soundbar itself as an Amazon Echo device (that wakes up and responds when called out "Alexa"). Is that possible? Based on my search, this is possible in some regions but not everywhere. I am in the Netherlands.
2. Auto-off - is it possible to switch off the auto-off power saving feature, so that the soundbar is always on?
Appreciate any help on these topics. Thank you.
Opgelost! Ga naar oplossing.

Hi @bhrajat ,
Unfortunately I have to answer you negative again. You can only control your soundbar with Alexa. See also:

The AUX option doesn't work:

Goedemorgen @bhrajat ,
Beide opties zijn helaas niet mogelijk.
Unfortunately, both options are not possible.

Hi @Dick thank you for the answer. That's unfortunate. Do you know from experience maybe, if any other Samsung soundbar model supports one or both of the above features? I still have a chance to return this one. Thanks!
