A:Answer8 speakers, each with its own amplifier, and add the sub cabinet. The system sounds great. Its a Samsung product but built by Harmon Kardon/JBL. It does have a blue tooth feature and I play my android phone through it all the time.
A:AnswerI used the SWA-8500's and they connected just fine. Samsung phone support, Samsung website, and a Samsung representative at the store all says that the 8500's are compatible however the Best Buy personnel all recommended the SWA-9000's while I was in the store; insisted that they would work. I had to resort during the holidays to buying both pair 8500's & 9000's to ensure that I had the right speakers. I tried the 8500's first and didn't even open the 9000's so not sure if they're actually compatible or not. I believe the Best Buy personnel are confused by the previous year's model with a similar product number which are compatible with the 9000's not the 8500's. I hope this helps.
A:AnswerYes but the speakers are garbage. I ended up returning mine and tricking there system into thinking another sound bar and subwoofer was the rear speakers. Worse part is there rated at 3ohm so it’s very hard to add in normal size speaker.
A:AnswerBoth sub woofer and sound bar I have to be plugged into an AC adapter but the sub woofer doesn’t have to be located next to the sound bar you could be plugged in on it’s own in hooked up to Bluetooth
A:AnswerNeed to connect to your ark hdmi port on your tv with a hdmi cable. Then she will get the signal from your tv and tv on, she goes on. Tv off, she goes off.
A:AnswerThat probably depends on your specific set up in terms of what devices you’re using. I have a Sony tv connected to this sound bar with an optical cable and it turns on when the tv does (however the sound bar remote had to be used to control the sound bar after it’s on).
A:AnswerThere is not an option to turn up the center channel per say. There is an option to turn up the treble which will be your dialogue. Hope this helps!1
