A:AnswerThis functionality isn't guaranteed for all cable companies. It depends on their IR codes. You might be able to program that remote to control this soundbar.
A:AnswerYou can set the sound bar to use the up firing speakers even when not listening to atmos content. If you'd like any help adjusting the settings, our support team is at 855-833-3221 ready to help.
A:AnswerIf there is anything between the soundbar and the ceiling of your room then it will impact the Dolby Atmos sound effects. The upward firing speakers fire up and forward from the soundbar to bounce off your ceiling and down to where you are sitting. As a result you shouldn't have anything directly above the soundbar. The soundbar should be placed slightly forward from the television.
A:AnswerYou don't have to connect optical if you are using arc. Yes you can connect a DVD player to the sound bar. I chose not to because it wasn't playing in Atmos just Dolby digital. I ran thru the tv and it now plays as Atmos. Could be the 4k Blu Ray player not sure. I have the sub woofer 15 feet away and it works fine.
A:AnswerI’m not exactly sure of the wattage, but it certainly produces deep rich bass for its compact size. I’ve owned 4 different sound bars from Sony to Samsung and Yamaha. This one has by far the best bass.
