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. The satellite speakers connect to the subwoofer using the provided speaker cables. The subwoofer is then connect to the sound bar wireless.

A:AnswerThe sound bar and subwoofer should come already paired, if they are not please follow the steps on page 38 of the quick start guide. If you are still having trouble please give customer service a call at 877-878-4946.
A:AnswerThe sound bar to subwoofer connection is wireless however, the satellite speaker do need to be connected wired, using the provided 8 meter cables, to the subwoofer.
A:AnswerYes, you could connect two sources to teh sound bar and switch between them. But depending on your home theater setup, there may be easier ways to control and connect your devices. Feel free to contact our support team at 855-833-3221, we be happy to discuss optimizing your setup.
A:AnswerI believe that input is only for sound. However, you could use an HDMI splitter for the inputs to the TV and keep the HDMI ARC port connected to the sound bar and I suspect it would work. I linked a product as an example but there are other ones if you have a brand preference.
