Just curious, do you use any external source connected to the TV or soundbar, or it's just TV + soundbar? ... View more

I am so courius of any kind of an official Samsung statement in this matter. But I know it's a wishfull thinking. Samsung knows how to sell, but has no idea about proper support and communication. ... View more

Yep, sure. But apart from no eARC support I'm faceing two more problems: common lipsync issue when watching 5.1/atmos netflix materials and also no sound at all when I choose "Multichannel (bypass)" as a digital out format on my Philips 55OLED854 TV. So I ended up watching Netflix movies in stereo with a $999 5.1.2 soundbar  ... View more

Some are pretty much sure about eARC support: https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/TV/why-no-Dolby-Atmos-on-samsung-Netflix-App/m-p/1370334/highlight/true#M30602 ... View more

That would be amazing to know. I have Q80R soundbar and I spent quite some time already searching through the Internet for an answer about eARC support. This is radicolous. In 2019 we can't be sure about the hardware specyfication of a top soundbars on the market. This product was suppose to bring us cinema experience, for God sake! ... View more

Ok, so I'll ask one more thing. I have 2 main problems with Netflix I can't solve and can't even get close to figouring out what's the key reason that these issues occures. As I already mentioned, I have Samsung HW-Q80R soundbar and Philips 55OLED854 TV. They are connected direcly to eachother with HDMI ARC port.   Now, the key information is that Philips TV has 3 basic methods for sending digital audio signal: "stereo", "multichannel" and "multichannel bypass". And the problems are:   1. If I set TV to "multichannel bypass" mode, I get no sound from the soundbar at all when watching Netflix. 2. If I set TV to "multichannel" mode, I get sound from the soundbar when watching Netflix, but the sound is about 0,5 second delayd. As far as I know it's called "Lipsync" issue and it can't be solved by soundbar or TV settings because it's not video being behind the sound, but sound behind the video.   So I am very confused right now. People say it's best to connect some external source to the soundbar to avoid lipsync issue, but this shouldn't be the only solution in 2019 when most TOP Smart TVs have built-in Netflix app and there's no need for external source, despite the situation when someone wants to watch TrueHD content from Blu-ray.   And you're saying that people with LG eARC TV can now watch TrueHD content with soundbar connected directly to the TV via HDMI TV-ARC port? ...

Got it. So it's an alternate solution for connecting TrueHD source to soundbar HDMI IN port and then TV to soundbar HDMI OUT port, right? Anyway, this is sick. In my case (Q80R soundbar) I can't even use "Multichannel (bypass)" mode in Philips 55OLED854 TV because there's no sound coming from the soundbar. This whole ARC/eARC support is a piece of misleading bull****. Nothing is sure and hardware that was suppose to bring us super cool cinema experience can't even play stereo without issues. ...

TrueHD sources you connect to the regular HDMI IN port, not the HDMI OUT (ARC-TV). Or am I wrong? ... View more

The fact it works doesn't mean it has eARC. Dolby Digital+ with or without Atmos doesn't need eARC. ... View more

How do you know that q90r soundbar supports eARC? I think this is just a marketing gimmick, Samsung nowhere officially confirms it. ... View more

So basically, no one knows what's going on, and after all we paid a lot of $$$ for a hardware that was suppose to bring us cinema experience, but in fact it can't even play losless 5.1, not to mention a common Netflix lipcyns issue.   This is pathethic. ... View more

Is there any solution if someone don't use Blu-ray player but streams the Dolby Atmos content direclty from the TV via built-in Netflix app? ... View more

Any news on this? I have a Philips 55OLED854 TV and Q80R soundbar and there is about 0,5 second missync between video and audio when watching Netflix... ... View more
