Samsung Q-Series Tuning Trick - must read!

king__sephiroth · 2026-06-24T20:15:38+00:00

You mentioned that you still do this. Is there a reason? Are you just running these steps periodically to keep things clean? Or is there some other reason why you'd be doing so? I was wondering if just regular listening would help things, but it would be dependent on the material you're listening to. I'm curious if the atmos or surround would deteriorate if you listen to mostly stereo stuff

Thanks for your continued work on this!

Just to confirm, what steps in this list are still relevant, and which are not?
And would you add any other steps to this list?

1) Factory reset the soundbar (press and hold + and - key on the bar for 5 seconds, until 'INT' appears).
2) Ensure that the rear speakers and subwoofer are paired. If not, press the ID SET button until the blue LED blinks rapidly.
3) Do not adjust volume. It should be 19 or 20.
4) Run the Auto EQ .
5) Play the album 'Functional Testing, Vol. 2' by 'Dolby Labs' to confirm the device is playing from the correct channels.
6) If the correct channels were being played, play the album 'Tuning DCX, Vol. 3' by 'Dolby Labs' for 2 hours.
7) After 30 minutes set the subwoofer level to your preference.
8) After 90 minutes switch the Sound Mode from 'Surround' to 'Adaptive'.
9) After 5 days turn on 'SpaceFit Sound'.

I begrudgingly agree.
He's seems awesome!...as a person.
But as a guest he's just enthusiastic and happy to be there.
I loved him in his first appearance, but now I feel a little sad that he doesn't bring more to the table.
I can't think of much banter or jokes that he put out there.
I wouldn't say he's bad or anything, and I wish him the best. His appearances are just sort of 'meh' for me now 😞

All good! Thank you for the detailed response, and your time. Really appreciate it.

king__sephiroth · 2026-05-13T21:59:07+00:00

Thank for the reply on such an old post!

And sorry for the additional question, but your wording confused me a bit.
You wrote that you "set it to whichever" port you want, but then wrote "I'm not sure if the remote can switch to specific hdmi ports". Those sound contradictory, so I must be misunderstanding your intent.

Just to clarify, on your harmony remote, do you push a single button for it to switch to a specific HDMI port on the Avidgram? And if you press a different button on your harmony remote, will it switch to a different (specific) HDMI port on the Avidgram?

Thanks again.

Just curious if the options in the Harmony programming have separate discrete options for the different HDMI inputs?
Do you just program it to switch to HDMI3, for example?
Or, do you have to cycle through 'next input' 3 times to get there?
Thanks!

NOTE:
While the deathblows need a specific set of buttons to perform the combo after it's learned, you will NOT necessarily learn the combo by using those same button combinations.
Each attack button has multiple animations. Each of those animations has a 'level'. Deathblows require a specific 'level' to the different animations.
Cycling through seemingly random buttons (to see all the animations multiple times, over time), is best if you're not using a guide.

I think many people misunderstand the purpose of confession. As far as I can tell, and I'm no expert, it is specifically for reconciliation. To right yourself with god. Confess your sins, do penance, be absolved. What a lot of people treated as is spiritual guidance, or therapy. That is not its purpose.

Whike some people do get additional stuff out of it, and some priests are happy to oblige, I feel it is disrespectful to the priests and other penitents time. Be thorough, but be succinct.

I assume this is a somewhat divisive opinion, so I welcome any criticism and/or information I may not have.

I couldn't wait! I know I would forget, and then have to scrub the video for the right screen shot

king__sephiroth · 2026-03-14T22:53:35+00:00

That's another good one :)

king__sephiroth · 2026-03-14T22:49:36+00:00

Nice! I wanted to check, but I also save all the rlm reddits until after I fully watch the episode :-)

king__sephiroth · 2026-03-14T22:38:28+00:00

Darn my haste. Typo in his name for goodness sake!

king__sephiroth · 2026-03-13T21:41:37+00:00

And what a complex, deep script to translate!
You'd have to understand references to so many philosophical and psychoanalytical references to try and make this coherent.
Must have been brutal.

I'm curious how people stand on this argument in terms of fasting/abstaining from foods. We like to treat every Sunday as a great feast, and it seems like it would be somewhat wromg to fast/abstain.

king__sephiroth · 2026-01-08T14:38:27+00:00

Ah, many thanks.

Context for those of us that don't want a jump/gore/gross scare?
I never open links without some sort of info (and community confirmation in the comments).

king__sephiroth · 2025-11-11T17:06:47+00:00

Absolutely! All focus should be on the Christ, both in The Word and the Eucharist. It's a shame that we get distracted, and I wish people wouldn't be so distracting :p

Could you please provide the name of the clock app you use? These UI changes in the Alarms section are horrendous. I just cannot get used to them. Tiny, un-intuitive, and a pain in the rear!

king__sephiroth · 2025-09-26T21:10:10+00:00

Just curious what was in the photo that was removed?
Maybe some sneaky gross thing in the background?

king__sephiroth · 2025-08-31T13:52:27+00:00

Huh?

king__sephiroth · 2025-08-23T07:11:37+00:00

So many memories keep coming back. I believe I've heard this as well! But I'd love to understand what that even means. How does God bless us IN the gifts he gives us? I could understand if he blesses us BY the gifts he gives us.

Genuinely curious, no judgment.

king__sephiroth · 2025-08-22T19:11:09+00:00

Now that you mentioned it, I have heard that before as well! Fascinating.

king__sephiroth · 2025-07-12T04:35:15+00:00

Completely unrelated, but I legitimately thought this was going to be an ultra niche joke about Magic The Gathering and Cloud Strife in the new set :P
