QuestionDoes it come with mounting hardware? Are there holes on the back for mounting?
Asked 6 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer There is no mounting hardware, but it has screw holes that work great—not the keyhole style holes. The screw holes worked great for me for mounting it below my swing arm mounted TV using a mounting bracket.

QuestionThe sound bar has good volume, but the bass is too much, the sound is muffled...How can I lower the bass, or increase the treble?
Asked 7 years ago by JRisso.
- Answer If you're using it with your TV, you need to adjust the sound on your TV menu (mine has an equalizer that can be accessed thru "Custom Setting") -don't have more than 8/10 volume If you're using the Bluetooth, adjust your device settings..I find my Bluetooth works best when the device has a medium-high audio output and you can adjust the soundbar volume up or down The soundbar only reflects it's input so don't have your tv/device output so loud it's staticky

Questionhello, I would like to be able to switch from listening with headphones to TV speakers without having to plug/unplug the 3,5mm cable. I have an Insignia Fire TV and the Aluratek ABCTVKIT bluetooth Transmitter, Receiver and Headphone kit
Asked 7 years ago by cmokon.
- Answer This is a really simplistic speaker. RCA Jacks, Optical, and that's it. The best way to accomplish this would be to Y-Split the 3.5mm Headphone port on your TV (guess they're called a dual headphone adapter or splitter?), with one line to your Bluetooth Transmitter, and the other to the SoundBar. May be a mess of cabling, but that way, you can simply turn one off and the other on from afar, since both are connected to the same sound source.

QuestionI have a Samsung 48 inch 6 years old. My wife and I are 83. The sound that comes out of the TV is so muffled we can not understand the words. Would a sound bar take care of this problem? Thanks for your help. Ham&eggs.
Asked 7 years ago by Bacon1.
- Answer Yes, a soundbar would definitely help your situation by providing louder clear sound. But I suggest buying a larger more powerful soundbar than this mini Insignia. It is very small and not very powerful.

QuestionI have a new Samsung 32" smart TV w/ horrible sound so I bought this soundbar after reading some decent reviews. I hooked it up with the red/white RCA cables and changed the speaker settings to audio/optical, but no sound is coming out? What am I missing?
Asked 7 years ago by sandra.
- Answer Firstly, I'd double check to make sure you are putting the cables in the proper input-output ports. Usually I frustrate myself by putting these cables in the wrong slots. From there it is a matter of making sure the speaker and TV are in the right settings. Make sure the TV is putting out signals to the RCA and make sure the Speaker is receiving via the RCA channels. Personally I would recommend an optical audio cable since they tend to be more responsive, making sure to change your settings accordingly.

Asked 7 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Actually, this difference in volume level between programming and commercials is determined by the service provider/content provider. This is one of the MOST COMPLAINED about issues for cable tv service.

Questionhow to set up the sound bar?
Asked 7 years ago by tina.
- Answer Plug the AC adapter cord into the back of the unit, and the adapter into the wall. Plug the red and white rca plugs into the unit, and into the red and white outputs on the TV or DVR. Or use the rca-to-mini plug adapter wire and plug that into the headphone jack of the TV. Or use an optical cable you need to purchase separately. Turn on the TV and the sound bar, and set the input on the remote to RCA if that’s the wires you’re using. Use the remote volume up or down to adjust, and chose the sound mode to Standard, the best in my opinion. You should have sound by now.

QuestionI am considering this soundbar for my 8 yr old sony 46 inch flatscreen. I now have direct tv with the new mini remote. will this mini remote control sound levels for this soundbar?
Asked 8 years ago by aa2244.
- Answer See if your TV has optical connection. If it does it’s good news. Buy an optical cable and use that instead of included RCA cables. Make sure Tv speakers are set to ON (some TVs have option to turn off internal speakers). Now use tv remote to control volume. Now for Bluetooth I noticed I had to use the included remote that came with sound bar. To control sound coming from my phone.

QuestionDoes volume control lite up on TVIf not what unit will
Asked 8 years ago by edwin.
- Answer No. You cannot visably see the volume being raised or lowered on your television. It only connects to the audio input on your TV and that is all. When manually pressing the volume buttons on the sound bar or remote you cannot see the volume level either. The only way to tell is by listening to the volume being raised or lowered. If you want to see the volume level in digital format you have to purchase a more expensive sound bar that has a digital display built in. I have never seen a sound bar cheap or expensive that displays the volume on the TV screen itself.

QuestionHaven't had it very long and it's worked fine but recently, when I try to play music thru bluetooth, there is no volume. It's connected, but I can barely hear the music and can't increase the volume. It works for the tv (using RCA). Any ideas?
Asked 8 years ago by Rufus.
- Answer I recommend unpairing it from your mobile device and repairing it. You shoud also make sure the volume on the mobile device is all of the way up. Try some other mobile device with it also to see if that also doesn't work correctly. If it does, then the issue is with the first mobile device. If it does not work, then you may have to return or exchange the soundbar.
