User questions & answers

Question: How does this compare to sono sound bar
Answer: It does not compare to a high end Sonos system at all. This speaker provides great audio enhancement for a 40" Vizio I have in a corner in my living room. It is compact and fits nicely in front of the TV and it has an dialog enhancer setting for those of us who struggle a bit with hearing dialog. It does not compare with the higher end Bose units with surround speakers or the Sonos high end systems which are widely considered the best, but those are for bigger rooms than I have my Bose Small Soundbar in. I am renovating a rec room on in my lower level and I intend to use a Sonos with surround speakers down there with a 55" screen where there is more room. The small Bose is a wonderful item, but not designed for large screen, large room surround systems.
Question: Does it have rca output jacks? Trying to connect wireless headphones for tv
Answer: RCA to HDMI converters do not work, personally tried. The only thing that helped was an Optical-to-Coaxial or Coax-to-Optical Digital Audio Converter Adapter,Premium Bi-Directional Digital Coaxial to/from SPDIF Optical Audio Signal Converter/Repeater. I purchased one on Amazon sold by ROOFULL Inc. My tv is older, does not have an optical or HDMI ARC port. I attempted the RCA to HDMI converter and it did not work.
Question: Can i connect it to my phone
Answer: Yes, you an connect your phone to your soundbar via Bluetooth.
Question: does this support 220v
Answer: Thanks for asking. The TV speaker can support 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz.

User questions & answers

Question: Extremely quiet for speakers. am i doing something wrong? the volume won’t go louder and i’ve clicked the volume up button nonstop
Answer: I have not problem with food sticking to the pan, but my pan has been seasoned. It is very easy to cook with these pans. If you can follow the directions on how to use these pans, you should have not problems.
Question: does this have ARC
Answer: Comparable to the depth of an average wok pan. It actually does pretty well filling in for a wok when I do stir fry.
Question: How tall is this? I need to make sure that it will will not block my screen when placed in front of my TV
Answer: I find this an my other copper-core pans easier to cook in, no matter what I am cooking. These heat evenly (and quickly!), and food doesn't stick to them as easily as it does to plain stainless steel cookware. I had a good set of Tramontina cookware (stainless and heavy duty) and it was far more difficult to clean them after cooking anything that wasn't just plain liquid. I'm amazed at the different experience All-Clad Copper Core gives me. I bought a set at a regular store, and I've added pieces since then. I wish I'd bought them years ago. If you have this pot, you'll love it for veggies, small servings of soups or stews, stir-fry dishes, rice, so many things!
Question: What is the actual length ? In one place it says 15 and another place 15.38 inches
Answer: The interior flat surface of the pan measures 6 3/8 inches.

Question: if i buy this can i purchase other speakers to make it a 5.1 system
Answer: The Subwoofer that comes with the LG SL6Y 3.1 Channel 420W Sound Bar w/DTS Virtual X & High-Resolution Audio is wireless...^IFV
Question: How can you tell if the subwoofer is hooked up and working properly
Answer: An Optical cable is an included accessory with the LG SL9Y 4.1.2 Channel 500W Sound Bar w/ Meridian Technology & Dolby Atmos. An HDMI cable is not an included accessory...^IFV
Question: Did the sound bar come with hardware to mount it on the wall
Answer: It's only an option if the PS4 and what you're doing has Atmos. It's not something you can control when it gets turned on. If the input is sending Atmos then the bar will show Atmos. Netflix and Disney plus both broadcast Atmos and when you start watching something keep an eye on the bar. As soon as it picks up that it's broadcasting Atmos it will flash across the front screen of the bar.
Question: Does an optical cable come with the package
Answer: The 4K PassThrough feature on the LG SL9Y 4.1.2 Channel 500W Sound Bar w/ Meridian Technology & Dolby Atmos, Model # SL9YG is a feature that allows a video source to pass through unaffected through the Soundbar to a 4K TV without any processing. In order to transfer a 4K signal at 60Hz, the ports on all the devices must be HDCP 2.2 compliant and must be HDMI 2.0 ports. If the signal is carrying static metadata for HDR10 or dynamic metadata for Dolby Vision, it will pass through unaffected as described above...^IFV

User questions & answers

Question: How do i fix the audio delay? the audio is lagging behind the video. i have a vizio tv connected through hdmi arc. can i adjust a setting
Answer: Both my new Hisense H9G TV and the Vizio sound bar have adjustable audio delay settings but, unfortunately, they both only worked one direction to further slow/delay the audio signal relative to the video signal. That was the wrong direction for me, and it sounds like for you too with audio lag. The solution for me was to plug my Fire TV stick (used for all viewing including live TV) directly into the sound bar "HDMI In" port instead of a TV port , then connect sound bar to the TV via HDMI-ARC ports. That eliminated the audio lag entirely and I can still control everything with my Fire TV remote alone. Another thing to try is using optical connection from TV to sound bar and set the TV output to PCM, which might help reduce/eliminate lag. Hopefully Vizio comes up with a firmware fix for this or better troubleshooting tips on their support site, otherwise retailers may get a bunch of these back from people without the knowledge or patience to try different things. That said - I love my sound bar and bought another for a second TV in another room.
Question: Can this be mounted to the bottom of the tv instead of the wall, i have a vizio tv
Answer: This is not designed to be mounted to the bottom of a TV.
Question: Can I use this on my 2020Vizio M 5558r without blocking the picture
Answer: It’s only about 3 1/2” high, so it will fit under the tv between the legs.
Question: If I plug in a dvd player to the xtra hdmi on the sound bar, does the dvd movie sound automatically go thru tv and into sound bar's sound control
Answer: If the Sound Bar is connected to your TV with HDMI ARC then yes the DVD player will show the picture on the TV and audio through the Sound Bar.

User questions & answers

Question: Does this new 5.1 model support 4K hdr pass through
Answer: This sound bar does not support 4K HDR pass through.
Question: Does it need a receiver or anything extra to set up with the TV
Answer: We just easily connected it to our TV. Nothing extra was needed. Great sound.
Question: How is the sounds from rear speakers? Own an older model and they satilite speakers never worked properly
Answer: Really depends on your source but IMHO the rear speakers are best when they create an "ambient" atmosphere since DTS:X adds a lot of "virtualization" to audio. I originally thought it would be better placement having the rear speakers closer to the "observer" (at ear level) however my experience has taught me having them mounted higher and farther (while still firing straight and towards the observer) makes a better atmosphere when viewing movies.
Question: are the sattelite speakers wireless as well
Answer: The satellite speakers are connected to the subwoofer through a provided speaker wire. The subwoofer then connects to the sound bar wireless.

User questions & answers

Question: I care most about dialogue clarity. What is the dialogue setting? Is it a central channel
Answer: I got the sound bar because our old sound bar had bad voice clarity. It acts similar to a central channel. Really depends on movie or channel you are watching. I find it works great on some shows/movies and just ok on others.
Question: A 56 inch tv and blu ray player, how can i make this speaker work for both of them and will i need additional connections
Answer: Hello Sekou, the Solo 5 is designed to play audio from any sources connected to your television. You can leave your Blu-ray player connected to the TV and it will play right through our system. Have a great day!
Question: Bose solo 5 or Bose solo
Answer: Hello Cindy,This listing would be for the Solo 5 TV Sound System. The Solo 5 would feature 2x 2¼" drivers, as compared to the Solo 15 II which features 5x 2¼" drivers. The Solo 15 II would also allow you to rest a TV on top of the soundbar (if it is not over the maximum weight), as compared to the Solo 5 which would typically sit right in front of the TV or mounted on the wall.Thank you
Question: Can this hook up to a subwoofer
Answer: I like most of Bose products but this soundbar is just ok. If you don't have the space or want a soundbar with a separate subwoofer I strongly suggest you go to Walmart and get the 36" vizio soundbar they have with its own twin built in 3 1/2" subw oofers for 98 dollars. It sounds amazing with excellent bass, rich clear vocals, and detailed highs. It also has virtual surround sound. It cool looking and sounds much better than this one. Another reviewer said it compared to his 400 dollar sonos beam soundbar. Yamaha also makes a similar excellent soundbar for 150 to 200 dollars.

The secret to the sound

Flexible placement

The soundbar is so versatile you can position the soundbar wherever you choose—be that by the TV on a shelf or even mounted directly on the wall using the optional WB-120 wall mount.

Setup is a snap

“Setup” is probably the wrong word. All you have to do is connect the Bose Solo 5 system to your TV with an audio cable that can be optical coaxial or analogue in order of preference. The soundbar detects which kind you’re using.

Universal remote

Take command of your Blu-ray player, Bluetooth connectivity and gaming system with the included universal remote control. Easily control both the system and most video sources connected to your TV.

Unleash the bass

Gripping thrillers. Live music. Dramatic series. Sometimes you just need a bit more bass when you’re watching TV. Well now you’re in control—increase or decrease the bass at the touch of a button on the remote.

Auto standby This soundbar automatically switches to standby after 10 minutes of button inactivity and no audio/video play from a connected device. 2. Auto wake up The soundbar is powered on whenever a sound signal is received.

User questions & answers

Question: I see a response that this can replace a center channel - but can it actually ACT as a center channel as part of a larger home theater system
Answer: yes
Question: whats the bluetooth range
Answer: Thanks for your question. The HW-T450 can connect to a TV via wireless Bluetooth, HDMI/ARC, and "digital audio input". Samsung provides no additional information regarding type of digital audio input although many soundbars use a digital optical connection. World Wide Stereo is 40 years old and a proud authorized Samsung dealer.
Question: Will this work on HD Vizio tv
Answer: No HDMI/ARC on T450. And it means that you cannot control the volume of third party app (e.g. Spotify) from your phone. Also it means that you have to carry two controllers at all times! -- one for the sound volume, and one for everything else. It's just stupid. So save yourself a ton of headache and a return, and go with T550 or T650.
Question: Any recommendations on a specific wall mount for this sound bar
Answer: The 450, 550, and 650 are rated at 200, 320, and 340W rms respectively. So the 650 would sound slightly louder than the 550 (20W difference) but the 550 and 650 would sound a lot louder than the 450 (120W and 140W respectively).
