Product Manuals
A: we had the same issue after buying our tv...the tv has 16 watts on its own but is just not loud enough to clearly hear all the dialog on many shows...best buy did tell us this could be a problem but we thought we would be ok....hooked up some powered speakers and that improved the volume but not a space saving way of doing things...saw best buy advertising some really good prices on these insignia soundbars and since we have an insignia tv we thought we would give it a try....and yes the soundbar is a major improvement...definitely the way to go....
A: You may have fixed it by now but have you set the audio output on your TV to whatever input your using on the sound bar?
Q: Will this sound bar work with a Westinghouse TV?
A: Can I connect a nb3530 lg sound bar to a 55” Westinghouse tv?
A: No I have to mess with it every time the tv is turned off or a channel is changed.
A: Yes, change the sound output on the TV to PCM. Had the same problem and that fixed it.
Q: How many watts would the 2.0 equall
A: I was told earlier today by an Insignia tech support representative when I asked this very same question that "each" of the speakers has 20 watts or a total of 40 watts; however, under the product description, indication is made that this Insignia soundbar model NS-HSB318 has only one (1) speaker I believe. I think that it would be wise to mention the total watt information in the product's specification's list as is done with the older Insignia soundbar--model NS-SB316. That soundbar claims to put out 39 watts and its specification rendering states that it, also, has one speaker. I read criticisms of certain soundbars that they don't have a setting devoted to "music" and this is a turn off for some people. I don't believe that this soundbar has a "music" setting, but I could be wrong.
A: No. The Bluetooth input on the soundbar is only for audio in. You can use it to play audio from a device, like a phone or tablet.
A: Have you tried to hook it up using an optical cable instead? You can pick up a cheap 4-foot Dynex optical cable from BB for less than $5. I would try going with optical audio and not waste too much time trying to figure out the cause of the interference and noise using a 3.5 connection until you've tried optical.
