Q: QuestionDoes anyone have a problem with the subwoofer not working? It does not seem to want to link to the soundbar.

Asked 2 years ago by Sew.

• A:Answer Make sure the sub woofer has a clear path to the soundbar. I had this problem but solved it by simply relocating a metal plant stand.

Q: QuestionHello I'm using a PC which has HDMI and a monitor (not ARC / eARC) Since the soundbar has HDMI in, can I connect from my GPU HDMI -> Soundbar HDMI in -> HDMI Out -> Monitor. And enjoy Dolby atmos, Dolby TrueHD instead of optic cable for full experience?

Asked 2 years ago by Slake.

• A:Answer Hi Slake, Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, you can connect GPU's HDMI to Sound bar IN and out put to PC monitor. However, you can only transfer the signals of the object audio content, such as Dolby Atmos - Dolby TrueHD and DTS:X, or multichannel LPCM content using an HDMI cable by connecting the system and a TV compatible with eARC. Regards, Carl

Q: QuestionDoes this unit come with wall-mount hardware? Is a 2.1 HDMI cable a preferred connection to my new Bravia OLED TV compared to an optical sound cable?

Asked 3 years ago by RetirdTeachr.

• A:Answer It does not come with mounting hardware if any kind. I'm struggling to find the right screws that will work to mount this soundbar to my TV mount. Very disappointed about that. HDMI with eARC is the preferred way to connect this to the TV.

Q: QuestionDoes the sound bar require a separate mounting device, or can it be affixed to the wall directly?

Asked 3 years ago by NYMike.

• A:Answer The wireless sound bar can easily attached to the wall. Yes, you will need to supply 2 screws. I will take a picture this way you will have the correct dimensions. Normally, if you own a picture hanging kit you’ll have exactly what you need. Yes, this sound bar does come with an adhesive wall mount template to align/center with the bottom of your TV. Personally, I don’t trust adhesive tape. Simply put, we live close to Fort Bragg…
