A: We'd like to work with you directly to address the issues you're experiencing with your unit. Please contact us at: (800) 336-4525
A: Depends on the show you are watching. Try a Dolby Atmos action movie like Knog Skull Island. They don't do much for a regular TV show. Also check that you have the rear speakers set to high vs low or medium. Same for Atmos, low to high as well. Those settings are in the app.
A: Subwoofer specs are in the specs description. The detachable speakers charge on the soundbar and have to be returned to the soundbar when the batteries get low. App tells you the battery level. I get a few days out of them.
A: Settings in the app for low med high for rear speakers and for Dolby Atmos.
