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 see it has an optical port, but does it come with an optical cable? If yes, what is the cable length
Answer:	Simply pick one of the connecting cords to your television and power on. I used the small optical cable. Just pick one of the three options that works best for your tv.
Question:	Is that work with laptop
Answer:	Okay, apparently no one here knows but magnets WILL stick to certain grades of stainless steel as well as millworking stainless can make it more magnetic. Most of the polished and cold-worked steel bar products, such as grades 303 and 304, will have a considerable quantity of magnetism gained through cold-working. However, grades 310 and 316, having high nickel content, tend to have much less magnetism. The rate of stimulation of magnetic response due to cold-working can be altered with respect to the chemical control of single standard analysis range.
Question:	Does the aux port work as a headphone jack
Answer:	The depth is 1/2"
Question:	How do you make it work
Answer:	not sure. Don't know much about the grading of stainless steel. either it is, or it is not, stainless steel. sorry, i'm not of much help. :/

User questions & answers

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:	If i use hdmi cable from soundbar to tv, where do i connect my dish sat hdmi cable? using vizio p65f1 tv which only allows 1 input for source
Answer:	Not sure what you mean by 1 input for source, the TV clearly has 5 HDMI ports, out of which one is the ARC port ( HDMI 1 ) - highlighted in green on the TV. Anyway, standard connection with soundbar would be: 1. connect the source of entertainement's ( satellite, cable, games console, DVD/Blu-ray player ) HDMI out port to soundbar's HDMI IN port 2. Connect soundbar's HDMI out to TV's ARC/e-ARC HDMI port. That way, depending on how many HDMI inputs your soundbar has, you can connect multiple entertainments sources to the soundbar so that you can view them all on the TV and hear them on the soundbar.
Question:	The module at the end of the speaker wire provided to attach the rear speakers is too large to fit through any speaker stand I've tried. Any thoughts
Answer:	We wrapped our wire around the outside of the speaker stand pole and it's barely noticeable. Other (more complicated) option is to cut the end of the speaker wire so you can run it through your stand, then solder the end back onto the speaker wire and plug it into satellite speaker.
Question:	Does this product pass-thru hdr 10 and dolby vision
Answer:	Yes it does!
Question:	Does this have an ethernet port
Answer:	Vizio Elevate does not have an Ethernet port. I own this device. I just got on my hands & knees and looked, just to verify it 100%. I see 3 HDMI, 1 USB, 1 aux, 1 aux VA, 1 optical, and 1 power. The brand’s matching OLED 55 h1 TV does have an Ethernet port. Maybe that’s where the confusion stems from? Good luck

User questions & answers

Question:	Are there inputs on the subwoofer to add sattelite speakers in the future
Answer:	No. Satellite speakers (rear) cannot be added as there are no connections on the subwoofer.
Question:	Would this help to emphasize dialog over background music? Everything we watch anymore has the background music drowning out a lot of the dialog
Answer:	There is a "true volume" setting on the app that helps a lot.
Question:	is this unit totaly wireless
Answer:	No. The sound bar itself requires AC power, and also connects to one of the audio out ports on your TV. Vizio kindly supplies optical, coaxial, and RCA cables. The subwoofer requires AC power, but receives its signal wirelessly from the sounder, so it can be placed anywhere in your viewing room. All that said, this is a GREAT system.

User questions & answers

Question:	How easy to install
Answer:	10 or 12 minutes and I was up and running! One hint before adjusting the treble, bass and sub-woofer levels to your liking...thoroughly read the owner's manual for those adjustments. It will save you from a headache. Once I "properly" dialed in my adjustments, the audio is amazing! Enjoy
Question:	Background music is way too loud how can the background music be turned down
Answer:	You might try going through the equalizer settings on the remote (EQ button). That may help. One setting is 'dialogue' which should help with hearing vocal sound. Also possibly adjust treble (TREB button) and bass (BASS button), possibly lowering one, the other, or both. Same goes for the subwoofer volume. Lower may help. Other than that, I don't think there is any way to isolate background sound separately. It may just be the way the sound was recorded at the source.
Question:	Will apple tv remote control if tv connected to apple tv via hdmi
Answer:	Yes, however you should connect the Vizio soundbar to TV via HDMI ARC to ensure compatibility with external devices. HDMI ARC should also enable Apple TV volume control within the iOS remote app (in addition to the Siri remote).
Question:	Does it have a hdmi arc for tv
Answer:	Yes it does. Its connected to my hdmi arc on smart tv

User questions & answers

Question:	does this have an electrical cord or does it run on just the batteries
Answer:	Plug it into another device, like your phone or tablet. If it is still too quiet, it is likely defective
Question:	does this have hdmi hook up
Answer:	No, unfortunately, your TV would need to have either an RCA, AUX 3.5mm, optical or Bluetooth audio output option. The Majority Bowfell soundbar does not support HDMI ARC. As an alternative, you may want to look at the Majority K2 soundbar which does support HDMI ARC.
Question:	Will this come with a Optical Cable
Answer:	The height of the speaker is just under 3" ~ 2-7/8". I use the one I have with a Samsung 32" tv so put a 2X6 under the TV "feet" to solve the problem that concerns you. The unit is well made and is a sound quality improvement for my TV - HOWEVER it has no bass speaker FYI.
Question:	Does this plug into TV and can the sound be turned up or down with the direct tv clicker, or does it need its own clicker
Answer:	I just measured mine to find the answer for you. It measures just at exactly 15.38 inches, which is just slightly smaller than 15 and 1/4 inches. Hopes this helps. It’s a great sound bar. You won’t be disappointed
