QuestionDo i need a subwoofer if i purchase the Bose soundbar
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer You would not need to in my opinion, but it depends what you want the listening experience to be. The Bose 5 has adjustable bass, which is decent but not movie theater booming by any means. We use ours for watching tv and movies without a subwoofer.

QuestionDo I need to buy any additonal cable, or wire connection? is this complicate to hook up to my TV? can you provide link of video of how to?
Asked 10 years ago by Bermuda01.
- Answer no, inside the box comes with all necessary cables, Coaxial, RCA and Also an optical cable, they are a bit short about 3 feets, but will get the job done to hook it up to any tv. Bluetooth is built in for wireless transmission. it s easy to setup, one end goes to the tv, the other to the soundbar, connect the power cord and you done.

QuestionCan this soundbar be used to increase level of voices and decrease level of music background?
Asked 9 years ago by George.
- Answer Hello George, thank you for asking. On the Solo 5 you may adjust the level of the bass and you may enable the "dialog mode" to hear the voices more clearly.

QuestionCan the soundbar sync with the TV so that you can use the TV remote to control the volume?
Asked 10 years ago by vin.
- Answer Most likely yes. Using IR codes you should be able to setup your remotes to control the soundbar's volume. For example, I setup my directv and apple tv remotes to control the volume.

Questionmy tv hook up with cable box, do I hook to cable box or directly to tv? can u provide link how to?
Asked 10 years ago by bermuda01.
- Answer Hello there. Great questions. Usually the Cable box would connect to the TV first and then the Solo would connect to the TV's audio output. We have a video available here: http://bit.ly/21DoZGp that shows the setup. If you ever have any questions, we are here to help. Please do not hesitate to contact us at 800-380-4831.

QuestionWhat's the difference between the Bose Solo and the Bose Solo 5??
Asked 7 years ago by ED.
- Answer Hi Ed, thanks for your interest in the Solo 5 TV Soundbar. If you are referring to the Bose Solo Soundbar sold at Club Stores like Costco, this is the same speaker as the Solo 5. The difference is that the Solo 5 comes with a universal remote and the Solo Soundbar comes with a standard 8-button remote. Hope this helps! Jesse - Bose Support

QuestionWhat's the difference between soundbar and sorround sysmte? Which is better to purchase?
Asked 9 years ago by Mrs.
- Answer This sound bar is not designed to give you theater sound, it enhances the sound, and voice clarity of what you are watching, unlike TV speakers which have no depth to their sound. If you want theater like surround this is not for you.

QuestionMy TV sits on a table. It appears that if I place the sound bar in front of the TV I will lose the ability to turn my TV on and off. Will that happen?
Asked 9 years ago by Jimboy.
- Answer if the infrared 'control-center-lens' on the TV is blocked by the sound bar, then, yes, the TV will not respond to the controller. if the sound bar can be placed on the table in front of the TV such that this lens is not covered, you should be "okay", even if this-position skews the sound bar to the left or the right of 'center'. can the sound bar be placed on the floor/carpet, beneath the "table"? that is how i 'organized' mine. best of good-luck! CHEERS !!

QuestionCan the Solo volume operate using the DirecTV remote ?
Asked 10 years ago by MRPURPLE.
- Answer Yes, but it's tricky. After some searching I discovered how to do it. Read the "solved" post in green before you try to assign the Bose IR codes to the Directv remote. https://forums.att.com/t5/Remote-Controls/Bose-Solo-DTV-remote-help-please/td-p/4635709

QuestionWatts RatingI don't find a Watts rating in the description. Can you provide that info?
Asked 10 years ago by Cooneye.
- Answer Hello there. Great question. Bose does not publish specifications such as output wattage for our products as we do not believe they help with understanding how loud a product is. The Solo 5 will put out plenty of volume with rich, deep bass and clear highs. We recommend trying it for yourself at home to see exactly how it will sound. The maximum power consumption of the system is 30 watts.

QuestionBose Solo 5 to LG tv?.. The only cable included is optical. No optical port on tv.....what do I need to connect soundbar to tv. No HDMI port on soundbar. Thanks
Asked 8 years ago by Pat.
- Answer Most LG TV's have optical audio-out ports for connections to sound systems. If your LG TV has a coaxial audio-out port, obtain a digital coaxial audio cable (code color yellow) to connect the TV's audio-out port to the speaker's coaxial connector. What model number is your LG TV? If your TV has neither an optical or coaxial audio-out port, you may have to use the analog audio-out connector on your TV to connect to the AUX soundbar connector. This usually requires a 3.5 mm to RCA stereo cable, available from Best Buy.
