Thanks to everybody for +1000 views! I made this video just for fun and did not expect such audience.

You hit on the problem of not having a single remote to control everything. It's essential you connect the TV via HDMI ARC/eARC if you want to have a single remote controlling everything. (Go research what ARC and eARC are for.) And then, I'd suggest you use Samsung's "universal" remote as the name suggests, a single controller to manage everything (as that's what it's designed for).

What settings do you use? I have a q800c and I hear no sound separation or atmos at all, ever! I am not sure if I never calibrated it properly from day 1, or if my settings are wrong, but I am not pleased by the channel separation of the speaker. Considering to upgrade to the q930c

I think that a lot of credit for Dolby Atmos effect and sound separation goes to the rear speakers which you do not have with q800c. If you can, I will upgrade to q930c.

The lack of 2.1 HDMI should result only in 4k above 60hz video limitation. It should not however restrict the audio in any way. The Fire stick can be a problem though. Great video.

Beat me to it. HDMI EARC is not the same as HDMI 2.1 they are different and serve different functions. If you go direct through the soundbar you are getting the most compatibility and usually the least amount of latency. Idk why but I’ve seen a lot of tech channels make this incorrect statement when I did my research I found out that ALOT of people offer information when they don’t actually quite understand the specifics and then spread confusion. Tbf info on this stuff is scarce and companies DO NOT like talking about their technology and all lol.

So, if I understood you both correctly, the content from the Amazon Firestick is in any case in lossy/compressed Dolby Atmos, so doesn't matter which connection I use. However, if I am about to connect a Blu-ray player directly to the soundbar via HDMI 2.0, and play the content with TrueHD Dolby Atmos (lossless/uncompressed), I will be able to get it? The only thing I will not be able to get is concerning the picture quality (i.e. >4k, >60Hz)?

​@@VersaVistaProductionExactly, the Firestick is listed as Atmos (ec3-joc) capable, so I don't think there is a way to feed TrueHD Atmos to the soundbar in your case. Both the stick and the arc on the TV are bottlenecks.

Thank you for mentioning Atmos music. I'm planning to buy this soundbar in a few months and have already purchased the Apple TV 4K just to ensure that when it arrives, I can play my songs this way. Do you have anything else to say about it? I'd love to hear.

I’m not sure why you can’t control the soundbar with one remote. I just helped a friend set up his. He has connected with the supplied hdmi into the arc input. The tv remote worked as well as the cable box remote.

It is not an issue to set one remote to control the basic functions of all devices, but rather that due to the minimalistic design of remotes, there are simply no physical buttons with which I can control some specific options (for example, that Info button for the soundbar).

Ha ha, it took me 3 deleted comments to finally grasp the stupid KZfaq UX behavior, deleting comments with URLs without any notification. (this could be a setting on the user's side as well, IDK). This time in plain text, no links :) 1. Download atmos demo files from demolandia, m2ts files with both lossy & lossless atmos. Mediainfo soft can tell you what's inside. 2. Play them through VLC player on laptop/PC, set the audio output to HDMI passthrough and device - your TV/Soundbar. Connect to HDMI_in on the q930c. The cable can be any quality 2.0 one. 3. FInd the differences and post a video. :) YT should hire a UX designer >:(

Sure, such video is a work in progress. And not only to test the differences in codecs but also in different media players (TV, Firestick, USB stick, Xbox One). It's just that currently my weekly schedule is terrible and does not allow me to spend more quality time on this. But soon 🙂 Spoiler alert: there are some interesting observations/results for sure

You get no advantage by plugging your Firestick to your soundbar as it is not capable of delivering lossless Dolby Atmos via Dolby TrueHD. If you plug into your soundbar a streaming device that is capable of doing it (Nvidia Shield TV Pro) then it is worth it. You are making a confusion regarding trasnmitting sound capabilities via HDMI 2.0/2.1. It is related to video: HDMI 2.0 can't passthrough 4k 120Hz video while HDMI 2.1 can. It is not related to sound, as you even can get HDMI eARC via HDMI 2.0 If you want to get rid of Firestick remote you can plug the Firestick directly into your TV and enable HDMI CEC. As you already stated you will still get lossy Dolby Atmos through HDMI ARC, via Dolby Digital +

@@MihaiRaducan I understood the same. Before investing further in anything, I will try to get back my Xbox One S (to be used as a bluray player), and I will buy some bluray movie with TrueHD Dolby Atmos to check whether this will result in some additional mind-blowing sound experience 🙂
