Q: My satellite speakers will not pair, automatically or manually. The bass speaker did connect as soon as it was plugged in. What's the problem here?

A: Try to re-pair all the speakers at the same time. I had a similar issue where the subwoofer and one satellite speaker would not pair. I chatted with insignia support and they wanted me to exchange the unit. However, I got everything to work just fine by pressing the pair button on ALL speakers (SUB, SURR and SURL) then pressing and holding the source botton on the sound bar until the display showed 'Paring'. Basically if seems that if any one speaker has paired it blocks the pairing of any other speakers.

Q: Do the rear speakers have to be plugged into an outlet? Are they also connected to each other as well?

A: Hello, all the Insignia speakers do need to be plugged in, as they will immediately pair with each other. First you plug in all (4) speakers so they can pair with each other through your Bluetooth wi-fi, then you install the included HDMI Cable to your HDMI Arch input on your TV and the Soundbar. Very easy setup. Hope this helps.

Q: can rear speakers volume be adjusted?

A: no and they are too weak in my opinion

Q: Can this be connected to a fire stick?

A: You would need the Fire Stick plugged into the TV and then you can either go from the TVs HDMI (ARM/ eARC) port/ Optical/ or Aux ports to the soundbar. To get that full Dolby Atmos effect you want to use HDMI.

Q: Why do my satellite speakers only have background music and no dialogue

A: The center speaker should be the one that produces the dialogue

    Honest Review: Insignia 5.1.2 Soundbar

    I picked up the Insignia 5.1.2 Channel Home Theater Soundbar from Best Buy and honestly, it’s one of the best affordable sound systems you can get right now. For the price (often well under $200 on sale), this setup blows away most single 2.1 or even some 5.1 soundbars out there — especially if you factor in the included wireless subwoofer and surround speakers. Sound Quality: • The audio is rich and immersive for the price point, with the subwoofer delivering surprisingly solid bass that brings movies and music to life.  • With 5.1.2 channels and support for Dolby Atmos & DTS:X, it really feels like a true surround setup — great for movie nights or gaming sessions. Easy Setup: You only need a power supply and a few cables to get started — no complicated receivers or wiring. The wireless connectivity for the subwoofer and rear speakers makes placement flexible and gives that real home theatre experience without the headache. Value for Money: Considering what’s included and how it performs, this soundbar is totally worth the price — beating many brand options in the same low-cost category. Many users have mentioned how impressed they are with the clarity and depth of sound you get at this price. Final Thoughts: If you’re looking for great sound without spending big bucks, the Insignia 5.1.2 system offers excellent value, easy setup, and surround sound that punches above its weight. Highly recommended for anyone upgrading from TV speakers or basic 2.1 systems.

    Amazing sound for an amazing price

    Amazing surround sound experience at a fantastic insignia brand price. We didn't understand how basic the speakers on our TV were till we installed this system. Would buy it again in a heartbeat.

    Delivers exactly what it promises

    The product arrived right on time and in perfect condition. Overall, it’s a very solid sound system: the audio quality is quite good and the 5.1.2 channel setup is clearly noticeable, providing a truly immersive experience. I’ve tested it with content from various streaming platforms, and it detects Dolby Atmos and DTS:X formats without any issues. It works exactly as described. Excellent value for the price.
