QuestionCan I lay down this subwoofer sideways instead of standing and does it affect the sound at all?
Asked 8 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Mine is laying flat and there is no problem with the sound. In this state, the speakers are angled up and away from the TV and are not pointing straight up. However, the display is a bit less readable. Nevertheless I am quite happy with the system and do not feel compelled to use the included wall mounts.

QuestionIs this Sony soundbar compatible with LG 8500 model 4k hd tvs?
Asked 8 years ago by Moor.
- Answer I am using with my Model: OLED55C6P LG TV with no issues. I had a pro install the TV and sound bar. The only issue was figuring out how to enable the audio output to the sound bar in the settings. There is a lot of options and it took a few minutes to figure it out.

QuestionWhy does the subwoofer not produce a strong bass that I can hear let alone notice
Asked 8 years ago by Shadows.
- Answer Source material. It's an average soundbar for TV and music, but watching a movie on DVD or Blu-ray is outstanding! IT all depends on what our watching. I have a DISH Hopper 3, and for most TV there's very little bass, but movies and 5.1 broadcasts are great.
