“Will this work with a TV that doesn't have Bluetooth? I just purchased the Samsung UN48J5000AFXZA. The sound is awful, but I don't have space for a wired subwoofer, so I am looking for either just a sound bar with a built-in subwoofer or a sound bar and wireless subwoofer combination. Dialogue clarity from movies and TV (Amazon Fire) is my priority. However, my TV doesn't have Bluetooth. Will this subwoofer work? I would be hooking the sound bar up to TV via optical cables. Or, can someone recommend another option in the $150 - 250 price range?”

Yes, you should not have a problem. The Blue tooth is the communication between the sound bar and the sub woofer. The only connections are the optic cable to the sound bar from the TV and the power cable for the sound bar and sub-woofer. I placed my sub next to the couch out of the way so I don't see the power cable.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This product (Samsung HW-J450) will meet your needs perfectly - the included BT connected wireless sub-woofer comes up perfectly with no delay. It is connected via BT to the sound bar, not the TV, so your TV does not need BT connectivity. Excellent sound quality for the price, much better than today's crummy flat panel TV sound quality.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, this can be used with TVs that do not have Bluetooth.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it comes with cord to hook to your tv. I forget the name of the type but it's the style that uses light. Also remove the end caps from it, the look like there part of the cord.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It should. My 55 *Samsung TV does not have Bluetooth. I use the optical TV to Samsung sound bar connection. The sound bar connects to the remote sub woofer via its own Bluetooth. Works very well.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have purchased 3 different sound bars with wireless sub-woofers including the Samsung. My Samsung sound bar is connected to my Samsung tv with a fiber-optical cable and sounds very good. However, I use a Harmony remote for for controlling the Samsung TV and Sound bar so I cannot speak to any kind of OEM TV/Sound Bar remote integration from Samsung. Bottom line, Sound Bars are an amazing improvement in sound loudness and clarity. My only advice is to get the most wattage you can afford. We like it so much, we listen to Pandora on the TV now instead of the home theater stereo.
I would recommend:
