A:AnswerThe rear speakers do not need to be attached. The soundbar can work without the subwoofer, and the soundbar and woofer can work without the rear speakers
A:AnswerIt's 11.5x12x7.
The sub is relatively small but surprisingly does a really good job of handling the bass and getting to the lower frequencies. It never really sounded like it was bottoming out or distorting. Because the rears plug into it, it will have to be located near the back of your space.
A:AnswerVIZIO’s Sound Bar audio systems are designed to give you a realistic theater experience. You should hear the bass rumble during explosions, planes flying, earthquakes, action scenes, and anything that would normally have a deep tone.
A:AnswerIn some home theater setups, users purchase components separately. So, a user would need to purchase a receiver, an amplifier, and individual speakers. When piecing together a home theater system in this fashion it’s important to balance the system. Measuring the wattage each device is capable of transmitting & receiving and the impedance of each device (measured in OHMs) was balanced to achieve the maximum sound pressure level (or volume measured in decibels). Typically, a speaker that can receive a higher wattage are also capable of creating a higher Sound Pressure Level (decibels). It’s important to note that watts is a measure of power, but sound pressure level, (The measure of volume), is the end result. In VIZIO Sound Bar Systems the components are self-contained and balanced, so the wattage transmitted between each internal component is already configured to give you the maximum Sound Pressure Level, which for this Sound Bar is 101 dB.
A:AnswerThis sound bar system does not need a receiver for audio input. This is a closed system, meaning that it doesn't allow for additional speakers to be added to it.
A:AnswerIt would be best if your TV has an HDMI arc connection. If you look at the back of the set, find this label on a connection. It should be labeled ARC. You might also be able to use optical out from TV to sound bar but you might not get all of the sound bar's capability hooking up the sound bar this way. Contact the manufacturer for the details for your particular model.
A:AnswerAs an example in reference to the numbers 5.1.2, they mean 5 channels (left front, center, right front, left rear, right rear) the 1 represents the subwoofer and the 2 represents the Dolby Atmos or height Speakers.
To answer your second question, yes you can connect this to your Samsung TV and no you will not need a receiver.
A:AnswerThis sound bar does not currently have the ability to pair with Amazon Alexa for control. The echo dot can be connected through Bluetooth and would output all audio from the echo dot. When doing this we recommend turning off eco mode so the sound bar doesn't automatically power off. If the sound bar powers off it would need to be repaired when powered back on.
