A:AnswerThe sound bar volume is increased when using the Roku to watch shows. If you leave the Roku volume up when you transition to regular TV, it has a slight echo. If your TV volume is weak, you may not hear the slight echo--just the amplified volume.
A:AnswerThis soundbar has a built in Roku, so I’m not sure if this is what you will want. I bought this for a smaller kitchen tv and it works great for that purpose but in a larger room, I’m not sure if the sound would make much of a difference.
A:AnswerSunshine, They are both very similar and both have access to the same great Roku content. The Roku Smart Soundbar is a little more powerful, larger speakers, more bass etc... While the Steambar isn't as powerful it is a great fit for smaller rooms or smaller TVs being only 14" long.
A:AnswerNo, but my Samsung had an issue with that, but skipped the entire arc loading part of the set up process and just told the Roku I was using a normal hdmi...works flawlessly. No arc needed surprisingly
A:AnswerYes! Spectrum TV is available for all Roku customers to download. If you're having trouble locating the channel, make sure that your device is on the newest software update.
A:AnswerSadly you cannot power the sound bar with the TV, but the power cord does have more length than I was expecting, though you still may need an extension cord. Hope this helps!
A:AnswerThere's no subwoofer output connection on the box. I think the Roku subwoofer uses wifi connection so a wifi input subwoofer might work but I'd suspect they limit it to their own hardware.
A:AnswerKeith, Roku is designed to be connected to a single TV. Some models like the Streaming Stick+ can be moved or shared between TVs that aren't used as much. Only the TV connected to the Roku will have access to all of the Roku content.
A:AnswerThey will connect with the compatible roku speakers at the very least to my knowledge via WiFi direct and can play through Bluetooth to stream voice assistants
