A:AnswerIt would be best if your TV has an HDMI arc connection. If you look at the back of the set, find this label on a connection. It should be labeled ARC. You might also be able to use optical out from TV to sound bar but you might not get all of the sound bar's capability hooking up the sound bar this way. Contact the manufacturer for the details for your particular model.
A:AnswerThe satellite speakers do not need to be plugged in and do not require batteries. The speakers connect to the subwoofer using provided speaker cables and the subwoofer then connects to the sound bar wireless.
A:AnswerI'm guessing no. The are only 3x ports on the sub: power cable, plug for left rear speaker wire, plug for right right speaker wire. Not sure how you would connect the sub to anything other than this Vizio soundbar.
A:AnswerWe highly do not recommend modifying the existing cables. Another option is to purchase RCA to speaker wire cable adapters and very high quality speaker wire. If you match the red and gray on the connectors without crossing, you should be able to use these to extend or place the cables in the speaker stands.
