About the Samsung HW-J7500

Eric A.

A sound upgrade for your curved-screen TV

Many of Samsung's most popular Ultra HD TVs for 2015 feature a curved screen. Samsung designed the HW-J7500 to enhance the sound from these advanced televisions, and complement their sleek look as well. With eight drivers and a wireless subwoofer, this sound bar simulates surround sound in your TV room without taking up a ton of space, or trailing wires across the floor. With 320 watts of total system power, it adds clarity to dialogue, and a little extra punch to the action scenes. Plus, this system is also Internet-ready, which means you get a wide range of wireless audio features, too. The HW-J7500 is designed to fit these models: UN55JU7500, UN55JS9000, UN65JS9000, and UN65JS9500.
The Samsung HW-J7500 matches the shape of Samsung's 55" and 65" curved-screen Ultra HD TVs.

The Samsung HW-J7500 is curved, like Samsung's 2015 55" and 65" Ultra HD TVs.

Internet music streaming and multi-room audio

Connect the HW-J7500 to your home network, either via a hardwired Ethernet connection or via Wi-Fi®, and download Samsung'sfree Wireless Multi-Room app for your Apple® or Android™ device. Then you can stream music from Internet services including TuneIn Radio, Pandora®, Spotify®, and more.

Even better, add the  Samsung WAM250 Wireless Audio Hub plus additional Samsung Shape™ speakers, and you can make this sound bar part of a multi-room wireless audio system that you control with your smartphone. You can even use a pair of Samsung Shape speakers as wireless surrounds in a 3.1 home theater system that operates over Wi-Fi.

Versatile and good-looking

The attractive aluminum-clad HW-J7500 can rest on your TV stand or mount on the wall, and you can place the subwoofer just about anywhere. It syncs wirelessly with the sound bar, so you can enjoy deep bass without running a cable. Action movies will explode with life in your living room, but only if you want them to. To keep loud scenes from waking a sleeping child or spouse, the Smart Volume feature limits drastic changes in volume during a movie or while watching TV, so the local car commercial doesn't blast you out of your seat after a quiet moment on your favorite show.

    Soundbar Speaker/Sub System

    Active "Curved Soundbar: The new Samsung "curved" soundbar speaker has been designed to perfectly match Samsung's "curved" HD, UHD, and SUHD TVs. The "curved" soundbar speaker can even mount to select wall-mounted or tabletop-mounted Samsung "curved" televisions for a sleek, cohesive look. The Curved Soundbar gives your curved TV an even more powerful sound experience with 160 watts of virtual 8ch surround sound. Speakers on both sides enhance the surround sound effect, and with the addition of a center speaker with clearer sound delivery, you're provided with an even more layered and immersive listening experience.

    • Discrete Amplification: Equipped with advanced audio technology, the Samsung Curved Soundbar offers exceptionally balanced sound. Unlike most sound systems, it uses separate amplifiers to process high, mid and low frequencies, as opposed to using only one amplifier. This results in frequencies that are better tuned, so you can enjoy
    • Surround Sound Expansion: With Surround Sound Expansion, your Samsung audio expands the optimal listening area and elevates the height of the sound to the level of the TV screen, so that the surround sound seems like it is coming straight out of your TV. Now you can enjoy a realistic, lifelike sound experience with truly immersive surround effects

    Wireless Powered Subwoofer: The wireless powered subwoofer receives its low-frequency audio signal wirelessly from the soundbar via 2.4GHz transmission. There are no cords to connect, except the AC power cord. You can place the wireless powered subwoofer up to 32.8' away from the soundbar. The wireless powered subwoofer features a 7" woofer inside a bass-reflex cabinet with a bass port. The woofer is powered by a built-in 160 watt amplifier.

    Surround Sound Decoding + Effect: The Samsung HW-J7500 wireless audio soundbar system employs decoders compatible with Dolby Digital (5.1ch), DTS (2ch), and Samsung's Sound Effect modes (Music, Voice, Sports, Cinema, Night, Standard, and Off).

    Audio Settings: The Samsung wireless audio soundbar system provides various audio adjustments to customize your listening experience.

    • Dynamic Range Control: Lets you apply dynamic range control to Dolby Digital/DTS audio.
    • AV Sync: AV Sync can be used to help sync video to audio when connected to a digital HDTV. Video may look slower than the audio if it is connected to a digital TV. If this occurs, you can adjust the audio delay time to match the video. You can adjust the AV Sync from 0 to 300ms.
    • Equalizer: You can independently adjust the system's Bass & Treble (-3 to +3), or you can go a step further and adjust the system's 7-band EQ (160, 300, 600, 1.2k, 2.5k, 5.0k, 10.0k Hz) from -6 to +6.
    • Subwoofer Control: You can independently adjust the volume of the wireless powered subwoofer from -6 to +6, using the system's remote control. 
    Audio/Video Connectivity

    HDMI 1.4 Input/Output: The soundbar of the Samsung HW-J7500 wireless audio soundbar system is fitted with an HDMI 1.4 input and HDMI 1.4 output. HDMI transmits video and audio signals simultaneously for a simpler connection, and provides a clearer picture and better sound. The unit's HDMI input and output support 1080p and 3D-video passthrough. The HDMI output also supports ARC. You should connect your Blu-ray player or satellite/cable box directly to the HW-J7500's HDMI input and then connect the soundbar system's HDMI output to your flat-panel TV's ARC-enabled HDMI input.

    • 1080P Pass-Through: The HDMI jacks support up to 1080p video (not 4K).
    • Dolby Digital & DTS: The HDMI input/output support Dolby Digital (up to 5.1ch) and DTS (up to 2ch).
    • 3D Ready: The HW-J7500 can pass through 3D video from 3D-ready Blu-ray players to 3D-ready TVs, via HDMI (1.4). You will also need compatible 3D-ready glasses and 3D-video content.
    • ARC Compatible: The unit's HDMI output also supports the ARC function. This allows you to connect your Blu-ray/DVD player or satellite/cable box directly to the system's HDMI input and connect the system's HDMI output to your television for audio from the wireless audio soundbar system or your TV. Your TV must also be ARC compatible.
    Note: With most televisions, the ARC-enabled HDMI input will pass Dolby Digital or 2ch PCM from the TV's built-in tuner, network connection or USB port. However, the ARC-enabled HDMI input can only pass 2ch PCM from devices connected to the TV via HDMI or analog.

    Analog + Digital Inputs: The Samsung HW-J7500 wireless audio soundbar system features both analog (3.5mm) and digital (optical) audio inputs.

    • Optical Digital Input: The Samsung HW-J7500 system's soundbar is equipped with an optical (toslink) digital input to connect your television, Blu-ray/DVD player, or satellite/cable box. The system's optical digital input supports Dolby Digital audio (up to 5.1ch) and DTS (up to 2ch).
    • AUX Input: The Samsung HW-J7500 's soundbar features a stereo audio minijack (3.5mm) input to connect your analog television or other analog audio component.

    Note: To get the best audio performance out of the Samsung HW-J7500, use the system's HDMI input and optical digital input to connect your Blu-ray player and satellite/cable box. Then connect the system's HDMI output to your TV's HDMI ARC input. By connecting your Blu-ray player and satellite/cable box directly to the soundbar system, you'll gain Dolby Digital/DTS decoding from these two sources.

    USB Port: You can connect and play music files from external USB mass storage class devices (like a USB thumbdrive) using the soundbar's rear-panel USB (type-A) port, right-angle USB adapter, and included USB extension cable. You can control basic playback functions; such as Play/Pause, Fast-Forward/Backward, Previous/Next Track, and Repeat/Random. The system will also charge (5V/0.5A) your connected USB device. Compatible with a variety of compressed and high resolution music files.

    • Compressed Music Files: MP3 (32-48kHz), WMA (16-48kHz), AAC (16-96kHz), OGG (8-48kHz), and APE (8-48kHz)
    • High Resolution Music Files: WAV (8-192kHz), FLAC (8-192kHz), AIF (8-192kHz), and ALAC (8-192kHz)
    Network & Multi-Room Integration

    Wired or Wireless Network Connection: The Samsung HW-J7500 offers a wired (Ethernet) and wireless (WiFi) network connection which allows you to stream a variety of Internet radio stations, select online music services, and music stored on your smartphone/tablet device or computer/laptop to the soundbar speaker system. It also allows you to setup a multiroom audio system and wireless surround with other compatible Samsung Shape wireless devices (sold separately). To access these features, you must download the Samsung Wireless Multi-Room App onto your Apple iOS or Android device.

    Wireless Multi-Room App: Simply download Samsung's free Wireless Multi-Room app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store onto your Apple iOS device (5.0+) or Android smartphone/tablet (2.3+) to stream Internet Radio, select online music services, and your smartphone's stored music library to the Samsung Soundbar speaker system.

    • Music Libraries: You can stream music stored on your compatible iOS or Android device directly to the soundbar system. You are able to search your device's stored music by Song, Album, Artist, or Genre; you are even able to create and edit Playlists.  You'll also be able to stream stored music on your Windows or Mac computer and other DLNA-compliant network storage devices to the soundbar speaker. The system supports WAV, MP3 (up to 320kbps), WMA, OGG, Flac (up to 44.1kHz/16-bit), and AAC music files.

    Multi-Room Audio: Using Samsung's Wireless Multi-Room app, the WAM250 wireless audio hub (305WAM250, sold separately), and multiple Samsung Shape wireless speakers (sold separately), you can create a wireless multi-room audio system which can be controlled from your smartphone or tablet device. The Samsung Wireless Multi-Room app lets you connect, group, and control each of your Samsung wireless speakers. With the app, you can play one song in one room, different songs from different sources in each room, one song across all speakers, or any combination that fits your mood. Multi-source/multi-room audio can only be done with music from the Internet or your home network, not via Bluetooth or TV SoundConnect.

    Wireless 3.1ch Surround: Via the wireless multi-room app on your smartphone, you can even wirelessly connect a pair of Samsung Shape Speakers with the HW-J7500 soundbar speaker system to create a 3.1ch surround sound system over WiFi. Simply place the soundbar speaker in the front and your two Samsung Shape wireless speakers in the rear while following the setup on the multi-room app for a 3.1ch surround effect

    Bluetooth + Remote Control

    Bluetooth Technology: The Samsung wireless audio soundbar system features built-in Bluetooth for wireless audio streaming and Samsung's new TV SoundConnect function. A single button press pairs your Bluetooth-enabled device with the HW-J7500. Once paired, the Samsung HW-J7500 will automatically re-connect with your device when in wireless range (up to 33').

    • Bluetooth A2DP: You can wirelessly stream your stored music library and music apps from your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone (like your iPhone or Android) to the Samsung HW-J7500 and enjoy music with high quality stereo sound, all without wires. The HW-J7500 does not control your Bluetooth-enabled device; you will continue to control your music from your Bluetooth-enabled device. Song/artist information will also still need to be viewed from your Bluetooth-enabled device.
    • SoundConnect: You can simplify the installation of the HW-J7500 by eliminating the need for a wired connection between a Bluetooth-enabled Samsung TV and the soundbar. Simply plug the soundbar and the subwoofer into AC power and follow the simple pairing instructions to wirelessly connect the soundbar to select Bluetooth-enabled Samsung TVs. SoundConnect is only available one select 2013-up Samsung TVs (6500 series and higher).

    Note: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the Samsung HW-J7500.

    IR Remote w/ Anynet+: The Samsung HW-J7500 also includes an IR remote control for wireless operation of the soundbar system and. Anynet+ is a convenient feature that offers HDMI-linked operation with other Anynet+ Samsung products and HDMI-CEC compliant components; and control those products (up to 12) with one Samsung remote control.

    Note: When used with a 2013-up Samsung TVs, you will be able to power on the soundbar and control the volume right from the TV's remote.
    Mounting Options

    Wall-Mount or Tabletop Mount the Soundbar Speaker: This soundbar speaker can also be wall-mounted with specific 2015 Samsung TVs (JS8500 [55"/65"], JS9000 [55"/65"], and JS9500 [65"] series only); the soundbar speaker attaches to the TV before mounting the TV to the wall (the soundbar speaker does not wall-mount by itself). If you are table-top mounting one of these TVs, you can simply slide the "curved" soundbar speaker over top of the pedestal of the television. If you have a different model TV, you can simply place the soundbar speaker in front of the television on a shelf.

    Flexible Placement for Wireless Powered Sub: Thanks to its 2.4GHz wireless connectivity, you can place the powered subwoofer up to 32.8' away from the soundbar. There are no cords to connect, except the AC power cord.

    Can this sound bar be used with a Denon AVR X-2000 audio-video receiver?

    I spoke with a Denon rep. and was told that the two will not play together, both amps. Thanks for the responses.

    Not sure about receiver compatability. Although, I'm not 100% satisfied with this sound bar. I would recommend a JBL over Samsung any day of the week. Samsung makes a great TV, but needs to improve on their sound bar technology.
    derrick  Apr 18, 2016

    Don't know, but most speakers will push music depending upon the correct hook-ups. Check the inputs for the sound-bar and the outputs of the AVR. You need to understand the TV output from the control box to the speaker may be a lot lower than a AVR output to the speaker. I used the optic in/out for my hook-up. Also, you may need to check with an expert.

    Q
    This is only sound bar I found that exactly fits the entire width of all Samsung's 55" curved televisions. I realize this wasn't one of the suggested sound bars for my unit, but Is this item compatible with Samsung's UN55JU6700?

    The sound bar works fine and looks terrific with my 65" UHD Samsung TV. The only issue I've encountered is with the Sub-woofer. It intermittently cuts out. I've since added two wireless speakers to the system. The TV is mounted in a very large room with high ceilings and the sound bar sound alone was insufficient.
    frederick  Jan 23, 2016

    It works well with out UN55JU6700. I would recommend it.

    I would recommend contacting Samsung for the answer.
    ken  Jan 19, 2016

    I don't know. The HW-J7500 was not completely compatible with my UN55JU9000. I believe the reason was because I had a 55" 2014 year model and this sound-bar was the 2015 year model. I believe a Samsung 55" sound-bar would fit the Samsung 55" TV's, just try to stay in year. If this doesn't help, check the sound-bar qualifications for suggested compatible TV's.

    We bought the one recommended for this model and it was installed by the Crutchfield "white glove" people. Sorry, but I cannot be more specific.
