This seamless integration lets you focus on enjoying exceptional sound quality. Additionally, a smart Samsung One Remote is provided for your convenience. With the Private Rear Sound feature, you can direct the TV audio through the rear speakers positioned closest to you, making it ideal for late-night viewing after the kids are asleep.
For a more immersive experience, the Sound Grouping option allows you to fill the entire room with music, perfect for gatherings. The soundbar and rear speakers work in harmony, ensuring consistent audio playback no matter where you are in the room. Featuring a sleek design and measuring 123 cm in width, the HW-Q995D is an excellent choice for large TVs of 55 inches and above.
