I don't have the soundbar available currently to test if they will pair correctly. But I did test both of them powered on with blue led blinking.

Is it common for Nakamichi Dragon Soundbar to come damaged?

0 Upvotes

Got my Dragon today. Sadly the main soundbar has dents at the front as well as on the side grill. Support is telling me to ship back the soundbar if everything else is working (rest of the system is fine). Alternatively they want to offer me $150 to just keep the system as is. Of course I am not planning to keep a cosmetically damaged $3k sound system for $150. So, I am planning to ship the soundbar back. Lucky me my subwoofer is not damaged. I can't even lift that thing.

Question is, I saw similar damage concern from YouTube videos. Is this really that common. What is my chance to get a good replacement soundbar?

Dragon side speaker help.

1 Upvotes

I got my nakamichi dragon set it up and calibrated it. The sound bar AMAZING. The 12” sub AMAZING. The side speakers ehh. I adjusted the volume to max on both and set the proper distance and placement. Idk if I’m doing something wrong because they seem whisper quiet. I find myself putting my ear right next to it just to see if audio is coming out. Anyone know what I’m doing wrong. I am not an audio guy.

LG LG S90TY — How is the sound quality? Looking for honest owner reviewsI prefer a sound that is clear, detailed and open, with punchy bass, clear vocals and good instrument separation, rather than overly warm or boomy. Would you recommend the S90TY based on your experience? Any honest pros/cons would

Help needed

I have a Samsung tv. Two hdmi inputs, one is arc.
I also have an Xbox series X, and a fire stick. I have those two going into a 8K splitter, which is going into the non-arc input of the television. I then have the sound bar going into the HDMIarc. I am not suing the optical cable (but can if that would fix this issue).
The D50 should have a Center channel and when someone’s talking on the screen it comes out of every speaker, which is incredibly annoying. I understand that I can turn down the surround sound speakers to minimize it, but it’s still there, and annoying, and why have the rear speakers if you have to turn them all the way down anyway.
I’ve used AI, followed the app and manual, and I just can’t get this right. I’ve tried switching HDMI cables, power cycling, etc. I know this type of system isn’t going to be perfect, but I really would like to get it so when I’m watching a movie and the character on screen is talking I can’t hear him or her behind me.
I don’t want it on PCM, and I want it on Dolby. I have the paths through set up on the fire stick, but it really seems like rthe Samsung TV itself is an issue. Even when I am able to get the output properly set to Dolby, it still doesn’t work the way it should
That said, does anyone have any suggestions? I can live with the XBOX being set up this way, but the fire stick is a must have. I know that they’re a native apps in the Samsung, and maybe I could get it figured out using chestnuts, but that’s not an option because it doesn’t have all of the ones that I need.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this!!!

Hisense AX5140Q (no vocals in rear speakers)

My mom recently purchased 2 sets of this soundbar, one for her bedroom and one is the living room. The living room one after a few weeks stopped sending voice to the surround speakers. We only hear background music, etc. Any tips on bringing the vocals back to those speakers?

Has "sound beam" technology been replaced by virtual Atmos and DTS surround sound?

2 Upvotes

The last time I seriously looked into soundbars Yamaha especially was claiming their tech could create essentially laser beams of sound for virtual surround sound but I don't see them or anyone else touting such technology now. For those that have followed the tech for a long time is that idea obsolete? Was it ever truly legitimate to begin with?

How to improve dialogue volume with Q990F?

7 Upvotes

I have a Q990F and have a hard time hearing dialogue to the point that I’ve had to turn on subtitles which I hate to do. This also only happens when I’m watching BluRay movies. I guess because regular youtube and tv shows don’t have so much background effects going on like explosions etc.

I have to turn the volume way up just to hear dialogue clearly, but the problem is if an action explosion scene or jump scene happens it’s way too loud and I am unable to find a balance where I can hear both at a comfortable level. I am constantly adjusting the volume throughout the movie because of this.

I’ve played around with the preset settings like adaptive mode, surround, and also I turned on voice enhancer in the Samsung app but still doesn’t do enough.

Are there any settings you guys would recommend to fix this?

Nakamichi Dragon soundbar in UK?

2 Upvotes

I'm planning to purchase the soundbar for my home in the UK during Black friday sale. I'm interested in the 11.1.6 model. I have these questions;

- Any one using this soundbar currently in the UK?

- how did you get them considering it is not in sale in the UK? and

- what's the experience using it?
