QuestionAre the rear speakers wireless?
Asked 10 years ago by Tipsy.
- Answer The rear speakers are wired to the wireless subwoofer. This allows for the subwoofer to be placed in the back of the room so the rear speaker wires don't have to be run all the way across the room.

QuestionAre the rear speakers wireless?
Asked 9 years ago by Ervin.
- Answer Yes and no. They don't directly plug into the sound bar itself however they do need to plug directly into the sub. The wires for the rear speakers are pretty long though so you should be able to make it work. The sub & rear speakers get their signals wirelessly from the sound bar but there are still some wires involved.

QuestionHDMI IssueMy TV doesn't not have HDMI ARC, so i plugged the included HDMI into what appears to be a regular HDMI port on the TV, but soundbar doesnt play. I then plugged the digital cable in to both devices, which worked. I can live with the digital cord audio, but is there a solution that I should try for the best quality from HDMI?
Asked 9 years ago by dh2of3.
- Answer I am not sure the HDMI connection offers the best digital sound quality over the digital optical cable and I know for a fact you do not need an ARC HDMI connection to get sound from this or any sound bar. I have my cable box connected to my TV thru HDMI, but I have the cable box connected to the same found bar thru the digital optical cable. This way, I get the best picture on the TV and the best sound on the sound bar. If you want, or insist, on udon the ARC feature, you must first enable it thru the menu on your TV and then find out which of the HDMI connections on your TV s the ARC connection. On my TV, I have 4 HDMI connection, but the one labeled number 3 is the only one wth ARC. I don't use it nonetheless.

QuestionHow do you adjust the volume of the subwoofer and/or rear speakers separate from the soundbar. I can adjust the soundbar volume, but the subwoofer and rear speakers are barely a whisper. I have the Vizio 40" 5.1 soundbar.
Asked 8 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer The subwoofer can be adjusted by pressing the Menu button on the sound bar remote then using the arrow buttons to select Subwoofer. From there you can use the + or - buttons to adjust the volume. The same steps are used for adjusting the rear speakers instead of subwoofer select surround. If you have any questions feel free to contact us at chat.vizio.com or at 1-877-878-4946. Thanks -Randal

QuestionCan this replace an HTS receiver?I want to operate my DirecTV, an Xbox, and a bluray player through this and remove my HTS receiver which is not working correctly. Is this possible?
Asked 9 years ago by Hoopaloop.
- Answer There is one HDMI and one optical audio input. However, keep in mind that your Blu- ray player, Xbox, and Direct TV box would normally output sound to the TV itself, so really you only need to connect the TV to the soundbar to make all of these items work.
