A:AnswerThere are only 3 channels in this system. That is the front left, center, and front right channels in the sound bar. There are no additional speakers included with this model.
A:AnswerI doubt the remote will work without direct line of sight, however you can use your Vizio smartphone app which connects through bluetooth. The app is actually better to use anyway IMO.
A:AnswerThis sound bar can be connected to any TV that has a SPDIF (Digital optical) port, 3.5mm (headphone jack) port, or an HDMI ARC port. Most HDTVs will have at least one of those audio out ports.
A:AnswerI can't answer your question, but I did want to comment that I have the exact same problem. I also have unplugged it per instructions from Vizio, but it hasn't helped. The music is so loud that the soundbar moves and it actually fell off my TV stand once. I am really not happy with it.
