A:AnswerAlthough this works seamlessly with my Vizio TV, I have run into numerous issues in the past trying to get Vizio's 5.1 soundbar to work with a Samsung TV. I would strongly recommend trying it for yourself only because different models of TV's and soundbars respond differently to each other. A Sony TV worked perfectly with the soundbar despite the Samsung not working well at all with the same exact soundbar.
A:AnswerI purchased both items ,the RCA universal remote,with the, Vizio # SB3831-DO, sound bar,that worked on a Samsung 42" plasma,the remote actually comes with a sound bar button,so you can control both ,the tv,and the sound bar.I would givre a 4 star for a rating.
A:AnswerPlease contact our customer support team at 877-878-4946 – we’re here Monday thru Friday from 7am to 11pm and Saturday and Sunday from 8am to 6pm CST.
A:AnswerThank you for a great question!
I apologize, but the HDMI passthrough would not properly passthrough a 4K signal. With this, we'd recommend connecting your device to your TV directly, and connecting the soundbar either via optical, or HDMI-ARC, as it is ARC compatible.
Thanks again and have a great day!
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.
