Q: QuestionCan 2 of these systems be used in the same house simultaneously? Or would they interfere with each other?

Asked 9 years ago by Brett.

• A:Answer You must refer to Vizio.com for that answer. It would seem to me that Vizio would have anticipated multiple units within the same household and the unit would switch to another broadcast channel to the subwoofer/satellites.

Q: QuestionWill the Soundbar Connect Wirelessly to my TV?Will the soundbar connect wirelessly to my Samsung Smart TV?

Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Not unless you have a TV the broadcast via Bluetooth. The soundbar has a full array of both analog and digital inputs for receiving the audio content from your TV set. If your concern of one of aesthetics you can plug the audio outs from your components to the Vizio's inputs to better hide the cables. However, this would depend on how many components you watch from and would also require you to switch between input modes on the Vizio using the supplied remote control.

Q: Questionhow to change batteries for intuitive sound controlGreat system! Can't figure out how to change batteries in the remote control for the sound . Thank you in advance

Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer From what I remember, the entire back of the remote slides off, but it's not the easiest process. It's one of those...push on one end and slide it down and then flip it off...physically speaking. I haven't looked, but those instruction elements should have been included in the beginning section of the owners manual.

Q: QuestionCan I hook my iPod directly to the Soundbar system, or will it require hooking my iPod to a separate receiver or amplifier before the Soundbar to play my music?

Asked 9 years ago by Sxty5fastback.

• A:Answer If the newer iPods (i have an old 120GB iPod Classic) still have a standard 3.5mm miniplug jack all you need is a double male end cable because the Vizio has a 3.5mm minijack input. Also if you iPod is one of the newer Bluetooth equipped models you can pair it with the soundbar.
