Q-Symphony enables the TV's speakers and the soundbar to play in sync simultaneously, creating a convincing surround effect through the harmonious interplay between the TV and soundbar. Compatible devices and content can be controlled with just one remote. The minimalist design is aligned with the aesthetics of the TV devices. Once connected, compatible devices are automatically recognized. The minimalist remote impresses with its material, made from approximately 24% recycled plastics.
