This VIZIO SB3830-C6M 38" 3.0-channel soundbar offers stunning audio in a compact design, making it great for 42"+ class TVs. The center channel delivers clear dialog, while Deep Bass Modules produce added bass. Bluetooth lets you wirelessly stream audio from enabled devices.
A: Yes, You can adjust the volume of the center speaker independently to really make dialogue stand out. I no longer have to rewind movies and DVR shows multiple times and finally give up trying to decipher what they are saying.
Q: Can soundbar volume be controlled by non-Vizio remotes?
A: I use my DirecTV remote ..
Q: I would like to use the sound bar with T.V. dvd,or CD's do I need a splitter?
A: The soundbar comes with 3 cables, Optical. Coaxial, and the typical audio cables(White and Red) as well as bluetooth and an Auxiliary cable. If you have your DVD/Bluray player/Xbox/etc. hooked up to your tv all you need is the optical cable running from the back of your TV to your Soundbar. ANY and ALL sounds from the TV will be played through the soundbar. No need for a splitter. IF you have a CD player or some other unit you would like hooked up, you can use one of the other provided cables to connect them to the soundbar on a different input. if your done watching TV and you would like to listen to music, you would just switch inputs on the soundbar and then hit play on the CD player.
Q: Is it necessary to have a subwoofer with the sound bar?
A: I use only this sound bar with my TV, connected with the included digital optical cable. A sub woofer is not a must have with this sound bar.
Q: Does the soundbar have a sub out to hook up an existing sub?
A: Yes, from the quickstart guide: To connect a subwoofer: 1. Press the BASS button on the remote control to enter bass adjustment mode. 2. Use the Previous/Next buttons to adjust the bass level to the center position. 3. Power Off the Sound Bar and Subwoofer. Connect an RCA cable from the Sound Bar to the Subwoofer. 4. Power On the Sound Bar and Subwoofer. 5. Manually adjust the subwoofer’s gain (Volume) and phase to your preference. See your subwoofer’s user manual for more information. 6. Use the BASS button on the remote control to adjust the subwoofer’s output.
Q: Is this compatible with most other tv brands
A: Yes. Use the optical out of tv
A: Yes. It has center channel volume control, which is for vocals and dialogue.
A: No, as others have said, this soundbar can only receive a Bluetooth signal, not transmit one. You need something like this device: ClearSounds - Stereo TV Bluetooth Transmitter, Model: CLS-CS-QLINK SKU: 6550046, which I assume would be able to pair with your father's hearing aid. But I I would also double-check the hearing aid specs/manual and/or call the manufacturer (and probably ClearSounds we well) to verify that.
