Asked 5 years ago by Kittypuss.
- Answer 1) Yes you can use with a ten year old Samsung TV. (It actually comes with connection cables for TVs even older than that.) 2) No you do not need Bluetooth. 3) Yes you can use with all popular voice assistants 4) Yes there is an EQ button that you push to cycle to Dialogue and press ok. (It works very well)

QuestionHow is the wireless subwoofer powered? Can you choose to only use the sound bar and not use the subwoofer?
Asked 5 years ago by Altruistic.
- Answer It’s powered separately from the bar. Just turn it off or unplug the sub to not use it. In the menus, there is the option to turn the subs volume down. I wouldn’t recommend using this without the sub, it sounds terrible that way. If you don’t want to use a sub, get a 2.0 sound bar instead of this. With the sub it sounds great.

QuestionIs the dialogue volume good with this soundbar? Can you adjust the dialogue/voice volume? It seems a lot of movies and tv shows have low dialogue compared to the background sounds and effects.
Asked 5 years ago by Pompanorich.
- Answer the dialogue function is preset. You can adjust treble. bass and sub-woofer. the equalizer has 3 additional presets also. movie, music, dialogue and game. All in all I'm pretty happy with this. I had the same issue with dialogue. 7 year old LG with 10w speakers. This was a major improvement for a minimal amount of money. Bear in mind....it's a $149.00 unit (or $179.00 if you didn't catch the sale) not a $1049.00 unit.

QuestionSoundbar was hooked up 3 days ago. I woke up this morning to no sound on my TV. It worked fine last night. What's the problem. Please help.
Asked 4 years ago by Alleymcdeal.
- Answer Believe it or not, it is not the sound bar causing this but actually your tv. Turn your TV off and unplug it. Hold the power button for three seconds and then plug it back in. This has worked for me.

QuestionHow many watts?
Asked 4 years ago by Mar.
- Answer Rather than measuring in wattage which is just a measurement of power draw, we measure soundbars in sound pressure level, or dB. This soundbar goes as loud as 96dB with a frequency response of 50Hz - 20kHz.

QuestionDoes the volume on the tv have to be turned down completely when using the soundbar?
Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer When attaching a sound bar, the TV will typically detect the sound bar and automatically disable the TV speakers. In the event that does not happen, you will want to access the TV's menu and turn off the speakers manually in the Audio section.

Questionwhen i turn my tv on the sound bar comes on, also when using my tv remote the volume on the sound bar goes up, how can i use only the volume on my tv and not have the any sound from the sound bar
Asked 4 years ago by william.
- Answer The sound bar takes over as the TV’s audio output, so you’ll either need to change your settings to the internal TV speakers or disconnect the sound bar completely. It sounds like you want to be able to change between the two, so changing settings to the TV speakers will most likely be your best bet.

QuestionIf i hook this up with my Xfinity cable will it turn on when I push power with the Xfinity remote to turn the tv on?
Asked 4 years ago by Cswhiteman.
- Answer Yes, our Xfinity cable box remote turns on our Tv and Soundbar at the same time. However if you loose power I have had to use the soundbar remote to turn it back on but once I do that it automatically will turn back on with TV the next time.
