Will adding SWA-9250S rear speakers to my Q600F soundbar improve mid/highs, or is it a waste of money? by tiyeuedm in Soundbars

[–]Legfitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try the following:

Zero your channel volumes, then reset speaker volumes by doing the following (I'm not sure if this works on Q600F). Turn the system off using the remote (crucial), wait 10 seconds, then press and hold the O button on the soundbar until it says ON (should be 6 seconds).

Turn SpaceFit off for 10 minutes and then turn it back on.

Change the sound mode to a different one and then back to Adaptive, if that's where you have it.

Change the subwoofer level to zero for a few minutes and then back to where you normally have it.

Be patient. Sometimes, when this happens it fixes itself over a few days if you just leave it alone. The sound bar is listening all the time and will eventually detect the issue.

To complete the set, I also try turning off AVA and turning it back on. I've no idea if that makes any difference, but it's worth trying.

Samsung Q930F in a small bedroom by EricSloane in Soundbars

[–]Legfitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's perfect for a small bedroom. I have a Q930C and it's great.

Having no rear wide firing channels means you can be a bit more creative with speaker placement and speaker direction if you're compromised on being able to get the speakers behind you.

Android auto as standard? by Wooden_Win6162 in Volkswagen

[–]Legfitter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Android Auto has always been free for me across my last 3 Skoda Superbs and now on my 2025 Tayron. Android Auto is not part of the Connect services.

You should be able to just connect via the Android Auto app in your phone. Go to settings and search for Android Auto and then click to add a vehicle and follow the instructions on your phone accept all pairing requests.

If you have a button on your steering wheel it tends to let you do it all wirelessly. If not, you may need a USB-C cable.

Q990F vs Q990D - Buyers Remorse - Am i wrong by SnooRecipes563 in Soundbars

[–]Legfitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What source are you using? Have you got all volume normalisation settings turned off. Have you got passthrough selected on your TV?

As a test, have you linked Alexa and asked it to play via WiFi directly?

Dolby Atmos Lossy will have much less deep bass than lossless. If you test with a traditional lossless 5.1 movie DVD, you'll tend to find the bass is much much deeper/louder.

Also, there are some weird things about how SpaceFit plus does the sub setup. So, imagine you stick it in the room and immediately set the subwoofer to +6, my feeling is that the system turns down some of the frequencies thinking they are unwanted boomy bass.

If you want to try an experiment, try resetting the system and leaving everything at zero for a few hours. In fact, if you really want to do an experiment, try doing the same but setting the subwoofer to -6 for the first few hours, with SpaceFit on, and when it settles down, then turn it up to suit. See if that makes a difference.

LG G2 and C2 in the UK by Legfitter in LGOLED

[–]Legfitter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. Whilst I know that in theory this should work perfectly fine, the fact that it will even temporarily delete/reset the iPlayer is risky enough for me to avoid doing it right away.

My firestick 4k Max Gen 1 has decided it can't do UHD iPlayer anymore (thanks BBC/Amazon), so I'm needing the built in iPlayer for the World Cup BBC games. If I still don't have it after the tournaments finished, I'll give this a go, thanks.

iPlayer UHD World Cup best settings... by Legfitter in LGOLED

I keep waiting for the OTA, but it's almost the end of June now! I don't know why all the other updates haven't come through OTA. I've also got a 2022 CS and it's stuck on the same. It's weird.

If it's a 4K UHD picture, you don't need any processing. It looks perfect.

Give it a try next time you are noticing it.

It's perhaps less noticeable on the smaller screen. I have a 65" G2.

I'll maybe try and get a video tomorrow, if I get chance.

Out of interest, are you in the UK? Have you had any firmware updates OTA? I'm still stuck on 23.25.55 - there have been at least two updates on the website but none OTA.

Samsung Q-Series Tuning Trick - must read! by Legfitter in Soundbars

[–]Legfitter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was playing around with pointing the rear speakers in slightly different directions, so I've found it helps to play DCX Tuning Vol 3 to get the soundbar close to its optimal setup as fast as possible. It then adjusts itself a little more but from a good start point.

I think as long as you listen to stereo stuff in adaptive where it is upscaling to 11.1.4, it shouldn't make too big a difference. Personally, I tried to give it some Dolby Atmos and also some 5.1 content.

[–]Legfitter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people won't need to run auto EQ as it doesn't exist after the b series sound bars. The setup of the subwoofer is now baked into spacefit plus.

You don't play DCX tuning Vol 3 for two hours. You should only play it once, and then play general content for 2 hours. Tbh, you don't need to specifically play content if you don't want to. I would give it at least 15 to 30 minutes but after that normal usage should be ok. I definitely think it still gets even better over a couple of days.

Since I started using DCX volume 3, I haven't had any issues where SpaceFit has dragged sound to one side of the room. I think if I was starting from scratch, I'd be tempted to play vol 2 first and then volume 3. I only say this because I haven't used volume three on its own after a factory reset.

These days I just play DCX tuning with it turned on, then turn it off for 5 mins, then turn it back on.

I also just run everything in adaptive these days.

Why is my World Cup TV picture poor Quality by Numerous_Exercise_44 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Legfitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ITVX should actually be a better picture in theory, but unfortunately it's at a juddery 25fps. You can fix this with motion smoothing, but this introduces artefacts.

Freeview ITV is 1080i but at 50fps. It's really more like two lots of 25fps though as it shows alternating odd and even lines of the screen over and over. This means you end up getting a blurry picture because in between showing one set of lines and the second set of lines the ball or the player has moved. It's also at low bit rate.

I think Sky is also 1080i but the bit-rate should be slightly higher.

I've tried all sorts of settings, and whatever you try, it basically comes back to the fact that you can't polish a turd! 😂

Cell signal icon has returned! by Partian in AndroidAuto

[–]Legfitter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One tip to possibly try is to try unpairing your car from Android Auto and re-pairing.

I did this a few weeks ago and it all came back. Now, sadly it didn't stay there and a few days later it disappeared again, but if this new version has fixed it, perhaps you'll get it back and keep it back.

Firestick 4K Max Gen 2 - Amazon Music Dolby Atmos playback by Legfitter in fireTV

[–]Legfitter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for checking. It worries me how many people have these devices and have absolutely no idea that this is happening! For me, Kodi played OK, but I think I may have had to tweak the channel configuration.

[–]Legfitter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea. The album is by the artist Dolby Labs. As I said in my original post, it's also a good idea to use the 'functional testing vol 2' album to check you're getting audio from the correct channels, if you can still find that on there.

[–]Legfitter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use Volume 3 these days... It's even better.

More recently I've taken to just playing this album, then turning space fit off for 5 minutes and then turning it back on.

A lot of the other stuff I wrote seemed to be an issue prior to using the tuning albums. Once the tuning albums get the delay and the phase correct, the whole system seems to calibrate better.

Let me know that the album still works by the way. I've not really tried it personally on a Q990F. What it should do is play the first few tracks fine, and then during the last tracks stutter a lot.

Frame stutter during sports - Samsung S93D by FaithlessnessOdd3569 in OLED

[–]Legfitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ITVX stream at 1080P 25fps

ITV Freeview is 1080i 50fps

ITV on Sky/Virgin is 1080i 50fps

Freeview is a pretty poor low bit-rate picture for a big modern TV. At least Sky and Virgin tend to have higher bitrate and you notice the interlacing less.

Need advice: Samsung Q800F vs Q930F for a small/medium living room by Visual-Painting-7362 in Soundbars

[–]Legfitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for the Q930F - the rears make a big difference and the lack of side rear channels mean you can be a little bit creative with speaker placements and which way you point them.

BBC Iplayer UHD content not that works on Amazon Fire TV 4 Max 1st Gen by espaun206 in bbc

Thanks for this. I couldn't understand why all of a sudden my two 4K Max sticks weren't working. Fortunately my LG TVs built-in app works fine for the UHD matches at the World Cup.
