QuestionHave any of you used this sound bar with a tv OTHER THAN a Sony? If so, any issues with hookup, sound quality etc? It sounds like the ideal setup is for Sony TVs (makes sense) but I have a diff brand higher end tv.
Asked 6 years ago by Ratchet.
- Answer I have mine hooked up to a new Sony Bravia. I also bought the rear speakers for this sound bar. This sound system is great and very easy to use. The Bluetooth portion is fantastic and connects easily with all of our products. Hook this up using an HDMI cable to the ARC HDMI port on your TV. I do not see you having any problems hooking this up to any other brand of TV.

QuestionCan the subwoofer be set up on the opposite wall from the tv or should it be on the same wall as the sound bar & tv? Since it is wireless, I assume the only connection need to be a power source.
Asked 7 years ago by Ronda1.
- Answer It is best when placed near the soundbar. The sub for this set-up actually delivers some of mids, so if you place the sub anywhere but facing towards you it will reduce overall sound quality.
