Is the "5" based on it's ability to pair with a tv and incorporate the TV's speakers?
I generally assume 5.1 is L, C,R, Rear R, Real L, and sub
edit: the TV & Soundbar working together is called "Q-Symphony". from the product photos, that's there I see 5 distinct speakers: TV L, TV R, & Sound Bar L, C, R (plus .1 sub).
specs do claim "Number of Speakers 6" though so, I assume the bar itself must have 5 speakers

its a joke. all these soundbars that dont physically have rear speakers and advertising 5.1, some even 7.1 and 9.1 LOLall marketing to get uneducated consumers. No use of all speakers in the front. Thats the entire point of surround and multi channel. Then they have the audacity to say the sound BOUNCES due to its technology so you hear it from the rear. BS!!!!! lolIf its only 1 bar and a sub, I rather get a quality 2.1 or 3.1 sound bar
I agree with you 100%. You can't get "surround" sound when all the sound is shooting AT you in front of you. I think of sound like flashlights pointing at me. This sound bar is like having 5 flashlights pointing at me in front of me: ^^^^^ . I want to have 3 pointing AT me, and at least 2 on the sides: <^^^> That is how I consider "surround sound".
I prefer a 5 speaker or more setup, but I'm ok with the sound bars IF they have little satellite speakers along with them. Even in small rooms you should have 2 little speakers on each side of you. If your setup doesn't make you literally turn your head and say "what was that??", then you have the wrong setup. You never get that feeling when the sound is coming from in front of you. Even the cheap Vizio or HiSense sound bars with 2 satellite speakers can send signals to the side speakers to really make you feel "surrounded".
I know Samsung is fantastic when it comes to sound, and this is a great deal for that, but to answer Sarcasmogratis's question, generally the soundbar replaces the TV speakers, and doesn't work with them. If you have the TV on too, they'll fight one another and be slightly off. Like watching live sports on your phone and computer at the same time. All 5 of the speakers in this sound bar are coming from the soundbar. ^^^^^
Just my opinion, but hopefully my tiny arrows make sense! <^^^>
