Q: Will this set up so that the speaker will turn on and off with the TV while also muting the TV speakers? Or will that all have to be operated separately using both remotes?

A: It does all that for me. I have it connected to a TCL TV using an HDMI cable. The TV has to have an HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) connection. Then I turned off the TV speakers so it just uses the Soundbar for sound. The soundbar lets you program it to use your TV remote to operate it. With this setup the soundbar turns on and off with the TV and the TV remote changes the volume and mutes it. I never use the Soundbar remote. It just sits in a drawer. Hope this helps.

Q: is the HDMI cable included ARC capable?

A: Yes, but the HDMI passthru does not support 4k HDR.

Q: Is the soundbar covered in the cloth-like material or metal?

A: The front of the speaker is cloth like material.

Q: Does this include a subwoofer or just subwoofer outputs?

A: This does not include a subwoofer but does have a subwoofer output.

Q: Will this soundbar connect via Bluetooth to a Google Assistant & Echo Dot?

A: I connected my sound bar to a 2nd generation Echo Dot and a 2nd Generation Echo and they both worked. I don't have the Google Assistant so I don't know if this works or not.

Q: What are the dimensions of the soundbar

A: The dimensions of the sound bar are: 38" long, 3" high and 3" deep....very sleek
