About the Samsung HW-J7500R

Jeff Miller

Complete your curved-screen TV setup

Do you own one of Samsung's new curved-screen 4K TVs? Well the company designed the HW-J7500R sound bar to match them. It complements the curved shape of the latest Samsung 55" and 65" Ultra HD TVs. Six built-in speakers line the front to deliver clear dialogue and adrenaline-pumping sound effects. There are two more speakers on the ends of the bar, for surround sound that's simulated, but pretty believable.

Complete your curved-screen TV setup

The Samsung HW-J7500R matches the style of your Samsung curved TV (2016 55" and 65" models and some 2015 models).

The Samsung HW-J7500R matches the style of your Samsung curved TV (2016 55" and 65" Ultra HD TVs and some 2015 Ultra HD TVs).

Do you own one of Samsung's new curved-screen 4K TVs? Well the company designed the HW-J7500R sound bar to match them. It complements the curved shape of the latest Samsung 55" and 65" Ultra HD TVs. Six built-in speakers line the front to deliver clear dialogue and adrenaline-pumping sound effects. There are two more speakers on the ends of the bar, for surround sound that's simulated, but pretty believable.

The bar slides right below the screen, then lines up and attaches to your TV's curved pedestal legs. Or, you can use the included hardware to wall-mount the sound bar underneath and in symmetry with your mounted curved screen. You can even use Bluetooth to wirelessly connect the TV, for a super-clean look.

Wireless setup makes this sound bar even more decor-friendly

There are two other wireless connections that help reduce clutter. The included wireless subwoofer adds bass to your movies and shows, and doesn't need a wired link to the sound bar. And the sub is thin enough to fit anywhere there's an AC outlet nearby.

The HW-J7500R also connects to your home network via Wi-Fi, so it can communicate with Samsung Radiant360 speakers (sold separately). You can use a pair of them as actual surround speakers, giving you full wraparound sound — without wires running to the back or your room.

Internet music streaming and multi-room audio

If your place is like mine, the main TV room is also where you entertain visitors. Luckily, this sound bar doubles as a pretty formidable music player. Just download the free Samsung Wireless Multi-Room 2.0 app to your Apple® or Android™ device. The app gives you access to your library of downloaded songs, as well as streaming services like Pandora®, Spotify®, and more.

All your tunes play wirelessly through the HW-J7500R's sweet array of drivers, with the wireless sub ensuring the bassline knocks. Have some guests gathered in the kitchen or dining room? Move the Radius360 speakers into those rooms, and control them all with the same phone or tablet.

Built-in Bluetooth for another way to play

Built-in Bluetooth also gives you one more way to stream tunes. Now if a guest doesn't like the Pandora station you choose, give them a shot at playing DJ. They can pair up their Bluetooth-enabled phone, and put their own song selection through the ringer.

    Soundbar Speaker & Sub System

    4.1Ch Soundbar & Sub: The Samsung HW-J7500R wireless audio soundbar system is a 2.1-channel audio system that lets you experience a rich, powerful virtual surround sound from just two active speakers; a curved active soundbar & wireless powered subwoofer. The curved active soundbar speaker has been designed to perfectly match select 2015-2016 Samsung "curved" HD, UHD, and SUHD TVs; but can also be used with other curved or flat-panel TV brands. The curved soundbar can be mounted on the wall or placed on a table-top, while the wireless powered subwoofer can be positioned anywhere in the room to achieve maximum audio performance. The system offers HDMI, optical, stereo minijack, microUSB, Network, and Bluetooth connectivity.

    • Curved Active Soundbar Speaker: The curved soundbar is a self-powered, four-channel speaker which provides enveloping, virtual surround sound from a single speaker. The soundbar includes two front-firing tweeters, four front-firing full-range drivers, and two side-firing full-range drivers housed in an acoustic suspension (sealed) enclosure. Each driver of the soundbar speaker is powered by a dedicated 20 watt amplifier; giving you a total of 160watts of total power. The side-firing full-range drivers of the soundbar enhance the virtual surround sound effect.
    • 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 rear-firing 6.5" woofer inside a bass-reflex cabinet with a rear-firing port. The woofer is powered by a built-in 160 watt amplifier.

    Surround Sound Decoding: The Samsung HW-J7500R wireless audio soundbar system employs decoders compatible with Dolby Digital (5.1ch) & DTS (2ch), as well as Samsung's proprietary surround & effect modes.

    • Surround Sound Expansions: The Surround Sound Expansion delivers a more realistic and immersive audio experience by adding depth and spaciousness to the movie soundtrack.
    • Sound Effects: The Samsung HW-J7500R offers 5 different sound effects modes (Music, Movie, Clear Voice, Sports, & Night), depending on the type of content you want to enjoy. The Clear Voice mode enhances dialog and vocals, while Night mode compresses the dynamic range of the soundtrack.

    HD Audio: The Samsung HW-J7500R utilizes HD Audio technology to preserve the quality and richness of the original sound using 96kHz/24-bit without down-sampling.

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

    • 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 (-6 to +6), or you can go a step further and adjust the system's 7-band EQ (150, 300, 600, 1.2k, 2.5k, 5.0k, 10.0k Hz) from -6 to +6.
    • Subwoofer Level: You can independently adjust the volume of the wireless powered subwoofer from -12 to +6, using the system's remote control.

    Wireless 5.1ch Surround: Via the wireless multi-room app on your smartphone, you can even wirelessly connect a pair of Samsung Radiant360 Speakers (sold separately) with the HW-J7500R soundbar speaker system to create a 5.1ch surround sound system over WiFi. Simply place the soundbar speaker in the front and two Samsung Radiant360 wireless speakers in the rear while following the setup on the multi-room app for a 5.1ch surround effect.

    Audio/Video Connectivity

    HDMI 1.4 Input/Output: The soundbar of the Samsung HW-J7500R 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 pass-through. The HDMI output also supports ARC. You should connect your Blu-ray player or satellite/cable box directly to the HW-J7500R'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 Compatible: The HDMI input/output support Dolby Digital (5.1ch) and DTS (2ch).
    • 3D Ready: The HW-J7500R 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: 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 many 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-J7500R wireless audio soundbar system features both analog (3.5mm) and digital (optical) audio inputs.

    • Optical Digital Input: The Samsung HW-J7500R wireless audio soundbar system's soundbar is equipped with an optical (toslink) digital input to connect your television, Blu-ray/DVD player, or satellite/cable box. The digital optical output terminals of most newer flat-panel TVs only send a Dolby Digital audio signal when receiving Dolby Digital surround sound from the TV's built-in tuner, network connection, or connected USB device; and will output only 2ch PCM from sources connected to the TV via HDMI, or RCA (like your Blue-ray/DVD player or satellite/cable box).
    • Aux Input: The Samsung HW-J7500R '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-J7500R, 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.

    Network & Multi-Room Integration

    Wired or Wireless Network Connection: The Samsung HW-J7500R offers a wired (Ethernet) or 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 multi-room audio system and wireless surround with other compatible Samsung wireless multi-room 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 (6.1+) or Android smartphone/tablet (2.3.3+) to stream Internet Radio, select online music services, and your smartphone's stored music library to the Samsung Soundbar speaker system.

    • Internet Radio: Get access to more than 100,000 free internet radio streams from all corners of the globe via the TuneIn radio service. Just select the TuneIn logo from the main Music menu and browse among the 100,000 stations neatly organized into popular categories and select a station that appeals to your mood.
    • Online Music Services: You also get access to select online music services; like Pandora, iHeart Radio, Rhapsody, Spotify Connect, and Amazon Music. You can even set presets of your favorite Internet radio stations and online music channels.
    • 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 compressed music files such as MP3 (up to 320kbps), WMA (up to 320kbps), AAC (DRM-free only), & OGG; as well as non-compressed music files like AIFF (up to 96kHz/24-bit), ALAC (up to 96kHz/24-bit), FLAC (up to 96kHz/24-bit) & WAV (up to 96kHz/24-bit).

    Multi-Room Audio: Using Samsung's Wireless Multi-Room app and multiple Samsung wireless multi-room 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 multi-room 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.

    Network Standby On Function: The Network Standby On function is available if a wireless connection has been properly established between a smart device and the Soundbar. This function turns on the Soundbar automatically when a smart device attempts to connect to the Soundbar via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. If you turn the Soundbar on via a Bluetooth connection, its input mode is set to BT automatically. To turn the Soundbar on via Wi-Fi, you must have the Samsung Multi-room App installed on your smartphone or tablet device.

    Auto Firmware Updates: If the Soundbar system is connected to the Internet, it will automatically check for the latest firmware and update when new firmware becomes available, even if it is turned off.

    Bluetooth + Remote Control

    Bluetooth Technology: The Samsung HW-J7500R features built-in Bluetooth for wireless connection between the soundbar speaker system and your Bluetooth-enabled mobile device for wireless music streaming, as well as a wireless connection between the soundbar speaker and select Samsung TVs with SoundConnect. The HW-J7500R's Bluetooth function only has a wireless range of approximately 16.4'.

    • Bluetooth Music Streaming (A2DP): You can wirelessly stream stored music and music apps from your Bluetooth-enabled device; like your smartphone, tablet, computer, or laptop to the Samsung HW-J7500R and enjoy music with high quality stereo sound, all without wires. The HW-J7500R 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 (for Samsung TVs): You can simplify the installation of the HW-J7500R 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 on select 2012-up Samsung TVs.

    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-J7500R.

    Remote Control w/ Anynet+: The included IR remote control provides wireless operation of the Samsung HW-J7500R system. Anynet+ is a convenient feature that offers linked operation with other Samsung components (up to 12) that have the Anynet+ feature, and lets you control those products with one Samsung remote control. To operate this function, you must connect Samsung HW-J7500R wireless audio soundbar system to an Anynet+ Samsung TV using an HDMI cable.

    TV Remote Programmable: The Samsung HW-J7500R soundbar system can also be programmed to respond to select TVs remote controls. Once programmed, you can control volume up/down & mute with your TV remote. This function is not available when the soundbar speaker system is in the TV SoundConnect, TV ARC, or HDMI mode.

    Auto Power On/Off: The Samsung wireless audio soundbar system offers Auto Power On/Off functionality.

    • Power Link (Auto On): The wireless audio soundbar system is automatically turned on when you turn on your TV or any device connected to the wireless audio soundbar system with an optical cable.
    • Auto Off:  If a TV or any device connected to the wireless audio soundbar system is off and there is no audio signal, the soundbar system will turn off after 5 minutes.
    Mounting Options

    Samsung Compatible TVs: The Samsung HW-J7500R's active soundbar speaker has been designed to match perfectly with select 2015-2016 Samsung 55"-65" Curved UHD & SUHD TVs. The soundbar will fit directly to your compatible Samsung TV's stand for a seamless look.  Compatible Samsung TVs include -

    • 2016 Samsung 55-65" Curved UHD & SUHD TVs (all series)
    • 2015 Samsung 55"-65" UHD & SUHD TVs (JS9500/JS9000/JS8500/JU7500/JU6700/JU6500 series)

    Wall-Mount or Tabletop Mount the Soundbar Speaker: The Samsung HW-J7500R can also be used with other Samsung TV models and other bands of televisions. The soundbar is designed to be mounted directly below or above your flat-panel HDTV in a horizontal orientation. The soundbar can be placed on a shelf or table-top. Mounting feet are included, if you want to raise the height of the speaker (the mounting feet add approximately 0.625" of height to the soundbar). The soundbar also includes a wall-mount bracket which allows you to fix the speaker to your wall.

    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.
