Know before you buy
The 5.1.3 setup includes five main surround channels, one dedicated subwoofer channel for bass, and three up-firing channels. These extra up-firing speakers bounce sound off your ceiling to create a more convincing height effect for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X content.
No, the subwoofer connects to the soundbar wirelessly, which gives you more flexibility in where you place it within your room. You will still need to plug the subwoofer into a standard wall outlet for power.
This model is larger than a standard entry-level soundbar, so it is best to measure your TV stand or the space beneath your television before purchasing. Ensure you have enough clearance so the soundbar does not obstruct the bottom of your screen or your TV's remote sensor.
Yes, you can use the optical input as an alternative connection method. However, for the best performance and to take full advantage of high-resolution formats like Dolby Atmos, an HDMI eARC connection is highly recommended.
The setup is designed to be straightforward. Once you connect the soundbar to your TV and plug in the power cables, the wireless subwoofer should pair automatically, allowing you to get up and running quickly.
Yes, the soundbar features built-in Wi-Fi connectivity. This allows you to stream your favorite music services and audio content directly to the system without needing a physical connection to your phone or tablet.
