Q: How are the satellite speakers connected to the system? Are they wire connected? I'm interested in this system if I don't have to run a wire to connect them. I'm looking to minimize wiring that I have with my current system.

A: The satellite speakers connect to the subwoofer via wires, and the subwoofer connects wirelessly to the sound bar. Each satellite speaker has a single wire that plugs into the back of the speaker, this wire is at least 20 feet long.

Q: Does the HDMI input on this unit support HDMI 2.0a or 2.0b for 4k60, HDR, and HDCP 2.2 support? Does the HDMI output also support HDMI 2.0a or 2.0b for 4k60, HDR, and HDCP 2.2 support? If not, what HDMI spec are the ports compliant with?

A: The soundbar is not capable of 4K Passthrough. So, no 4K@60, no HDR. It is capable of HDCP 2.2, though, with a maximum resolution Passthrough of 1080P at 120hz.

Q: Can the soundbar be used without the rear speakers...only the soundbar and the woofer?

A: Thank you for a great question! Definitely! The satellite speakers each connect with a cord to the subwoofer for use. If you do not wish to connect them, use the included display remote control or via the SmartCast app, disable the rear surrounds. The SB4551-D5 will automatically mix the rear content into the sound bar. The sound bar will also provide a simulated surround sound experience utilizing the built-in DTS StudioSound technologies! You can connect them later and enable the surround setting when desired to receive the full experience. Thanks again and have a great day! -Collin

Q: Is the sound quality better in the 45" 5.1 than the 38" or 36" 5.1. Is there that much difference between the three.

A: I originally purchased and installed the 38" 5.1. It had a very clean sound but lacked the low end. When I returned it and set up the VIZIO - SmartCast™ 5.1-Channel Soundbar System with 26.5" Wireless Subwoofer - Black the difference was immediate and pronounced. The price difference is totally worth it to me and my audio preferences. I am very satisfied by it[s overall performance.

Q: Is there a way for the subwoofer and satellite speakers to turn on when you turn on the sound bar using the remote the system came with? I have to manually flip the switch behind the subwoofer each time I turn on the sound bar.

A: On your remote, press the menu button and then the up or down buttons on the keypad to navigate to the item that says "Link" on your screen. Then click the left or right arrow to make it say "yes", then press the play button. The subwoofer should then be linked and will turn on and off as you turn the soundbar on and off.

Q: Are the rear speakers wireless?

A: The sound bar to subwoofer connection is wireless but, the satellite speakers will need to connect to the subwoofer via speaker cables which are provided.
