A:AnswerThe subwoofer is connected by wires to the back speakers. So both small speakers and the subwoofer need to be located in the back of the room, preferably behind the sitting location.
A:AnswerJordon, they are VERY long! I have a 20 FT span from my right surround speaker to my left surround speaker. Even with that span I have a TON of leftover cable.
A:AnswerThe size of the sound bar makes the surround a little better, and the speakers are allowed to be bigger, but 2 inches is really just to match your tv size for aesthetics.
The more extensive one has google cast included, do you can stream music and video sound from your phone, computer, or tablet. The sub is a good size. Great sound.
A:AnswerIt happens to me too and sometimes it does get turned on with the Tv but the sounds(TV speakers & soundbar) are not synched and I have to turn off the sound bar and turn it on again.
A:AnswerNot only for smart TVs, but your TV does have to have an output that will work with the input for the sound bar. I set mine up without the app, because the app didn't work on my phone at first. Contacted Vizio and they told me to reset the system from the included remote and everything worked fine. :)
A:AnswerI would recommend contacting your cable provider to see if they have additional codes to try. You can also connect your Android or iOS device to the soundbar through the VIZIO SmartCast Application and control the volume and settings.
