QuestionIs the speakers wireless just like the subwoofer or just the subwoofer? And how do you connect the speakers with a soundbar and the subwoofer?
Asked 5 years ago by Nightwolf.
- Answer The sub connects via Bluetooth and the 2 satellite speakers connect via wires to the sub, and therefore are connected to the bar via the sub. Also the speakers on the bar can be adjusted in depth including left/right

QuestionVizio V51-H6 36" 5.1 What is the speakers total wattage? Is is loud enough to fill a 20 FT by 20 FT room? How strong is the sub Woofer?
Asked 5 years ago by MusicLover.
- Answer They aren't sharing the watts, which is a bit frustrating. My suspicion is because the number is likely unimpressive. With that said, I wouldn't worry to much about the watt number because these speakers are powerful. Plenty powerful to fill a 20x20 room!

QuestionHow many Inputs does the unit have? I need to connect Roku and Dish Receiver to the unit via HDMI.
Asked 5 years ago by AudioMemphisTN.
- Answer This Sound Bar has 1 HDMI arc port that intended to be connected to your TV. We'd recommend connecting your Roku & Dish box directly to the TV, and then using the HDMI ARC Out port on your TV to connect to the sound bar. That way all of your devices run through your TV- and there's just 1 cable connecting them to the sound bar.

Questionworks with samsung TV and how many watts is it?
Asked 5 years ago by sampalta.
- Answer I’ve had horrible connectivity issues with my Samsung RU8000. Optical no longer works, 2 days after the 14-day return period (really BB, only 14 days?!). When it did work, there was a sound delay. Don’t even bother with Bluetooth, it’s nearly useless! You have to reconnect in the menu every time you turn the TV back on. Save your money and buy something else. Worst purchase I have ever made. Money down the drain!

QuestionCan the two surround speakers be left disconnected and use this as a 3.1 bar in lieu of 5.1? Would that cause any performance issues? Would I still get better sound that the V21 2.1 soundbar?
Asked 5 years ago by EZPo.
- Answer Hello EZpo, You absolutely can use the soundbar without the surround speakers attached if you would like.

QuestionIs it possible to mount the subwoofer to the wall? I don't have room in the back of my living room to put the subwoofer and don’t want to put it in front by the tv and run the wires all the way back to the speakers
Asked 5 years ago by Subwoofer.
- Answer There are no mounting brackets for the subwoofer. I guess you could mount some type of shelf to the wall and put the subwoofer on it. However, you would then have the wires to the rear speakers showing. I placed my subwoofer on the floor next to couch which faces the tv. I then ran the rear speaker wires behind the couch on the baseboard and up the wall in each corner. There are mounting brackets for the rear speakers. Also if you choose to do that, you can go to Lowe’s and find small tubes that mount on your baseboard and then you hide your wires inside this tube. You can also put the tubes on the wall in the corners. That way almost all of your speaker wire is hidden

QuestionThe sticker on the back on the sound bar says that the sound bar has Dolby audio. What specific Dolby format(s) does the sound bar support? (Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Volume, Dolby True Logic IIz, Dolby AC-4)
Asked 5 years ago by Jacob.
- Answer DD only. All others need to be passed as stereo otherwise no sound. :( I am surprised it doesn't play DD+, at least not from a local file. Although it does play DD from Netflix, which I thought was DD+.

QuestionI have a vintage VIZIO TV ( VS42L FHDTV10A ). Seeking a relatively low-cost sound bar for: 1. Improved TV show DIALOGUE 2. Better music listening frrom the likes of Spotify thru Apple TV4. Query your best reco Soundbar for this setup? Thanks.
Asked 5 years ago by mickeysmith.
- Answer Hello Mickey, The 5.1 offered at Best Buy seems to check off all the boxes. There is a dedicated center channel on the sound bar that is optimized to highlight vocals and dialogue. The subwoofer will help you get the most out of your music. This is the bar I use and I love it, I think you will also!

QuestionHow many watts is this?
Asked 5 years ago by Biggs.
- Answer They don't market how many watts it it, but it might help to know that the integrated power supply of the soundbar is 65 watts. The integrated power supply of the sub and satellite speakers is 72 watts. Therefore the total theoretical power is 137 watts. Its hard to say what they actual wattage of the speakers is without the schematics though.

QuestionHow far from the sound bar can you put the subwoofer and speakers? I have L shaped living room/dining room and wanted to put them on my china cabinet. Is that to high up and far away. It would be about 25 feet apart
Asked 4 years ago by Happyme.
- Answer Hello Happyme, the wireless signal may reach farther, or less depending on your environment, but you can expect to get at least 15' with no problems. The cords that attach the satellite speakers to subwoofer are 8 meters long if that info helps as well!

QuestionI'm terrible with settings to get the sound right. Can ya'll give me advice where you have all the sound settings. Thanks in advance
Asked 3 years ago by Brian.
- Answer The sound settings are set via the remote which is less than intuitive. The settings are Typical treble, bass, etc.. I think just using the EQ button to select one the the "equalizer modes" is sufficient to set the bass/treble/etc. to us non-audiophiles. The thing to set properly is the EFFECT button. First select On to enable Surround. Go to Surnd and select one of the configurations you have set up your soundbars in. I use Front. Then go to VRT.X and turn it On if the little speakers (they are the "surround") are not behind where you sit. Mine are on either side of the soundbar under the TV with the woofer on the floor to the right of the furniture holding the TV. This setting helps shape the sound direction to simulate a "surround" feel.
