QuestionAre the soundbar's volume increments the same as the TV's? With my current soundbar, each time I press "Volume Up" the volume jumps much higher (too high) than my TV's volume would jump. How does this soundbar's volume increments compare with the TV's?
Asked 5 years ago by lowtread.
- Answer It's a totally different amp & speaker so has no relation to your TV's increments. It works well for me for both low volume and high volume playback (with no issue of finding a sweet spot)

QuestionCan I wirelessly have the sound only come out of soundbar and not the tv?
Asked 5 years ago by Alexa.
- Answer Answering the two parts of your question separately: 1) Wireless: the soundbar supports Bluetooth, Optical, and RCA Inputs, so you can only get wireless sound if you either have Bluetooth in your TV, or use a separate wireless transmitter/receiver. 2) No sound from TV: I have mine set up via RCA, and with the TV volume turned all the way down I can have audio coming only out of the soundbar (the volume of the TV does not affect the volume of the soundbar). HOWEVER, this is dependent on the TV; I've found some TVs support this, some don't. If playing from Bluetooth (see the other part of my answer) the only audio should be coming from the soundbar (every device I've ever used always plays audio ONLY from the Bluetooth sound device, e.g. headphones connected to a tablet, when Bluetooth is selected). Hope this helps.

Questionour TV is right next to the hall way to the bedrooms, the sound echos down hallway and into rooms. will this sound bar put the sound forward instead of to the sides
Asked 2 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Yes. I had a similar issue with tv placement. This allows me to hear the TV at lower volumes without blasting out the rest of the house.

Asked 5 years ago by Noa.

QuestionWould this work well with a projector and screen for indoor/outdoor movie/concert watching? Looking for something that will provide louder volume that I can't get from portable speakers (but not too loud to annoy the neighbors ha ha).
Asked 5 years ago by Matt.
- Answer This soundbar delivers excellent sound for its size. It would be a huge improvement over portable speakers. It should work for a projector. It has rca jacks and also has optical digital audio capabilities to hook it up. Only drawback is you have to purchase the optical digital audio cord unfortunately it does not come with it. The RCA jacks come with it. You can purchase the cord easily at the same time or easily somewhere else. The price difference from getting it somewhere else and at best buy is about 10 dollars difference but I always say you get what you pay for.

Questioncan this work on a desk top computer i have a dell computer desk top and i have this one hook up to my tv and i love the sound i want to get 1 more and hook it up to my computer will it work
Asked 5 years ago by lwdw6655.
- Answer This sound bar has different input sources so it can be connected to more than one device. It has a button on the side to change the source, as well as on the remote control it comes with. If your computer is able to connect to the soundbar via bluetooth, it should work well. Otherwise, you'd have to run a very long cable via the RCA adapters or the optical port.
