## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I add any more speakers to this setup?**
A: do not buy this! it sucks all around! not wireless! did i say not wireless?! buy the sony!!!!

A: Yes, it runs off an AC Converter.  110 or 220 v

**Q: Dose it connect wireless to TV via sound connect? how many bars? two or one?**
A: the only wireless connection is from the speakers to the subwoofer.  The only wired connection is the subwoofer that has to be wired to your tv and the speakers, which have to be wired to eash other--no wires from the speakers to the tv.  There are no soundbars with this item, unless you connect the two speakers together which would turn your two speaker into one soundbar.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great home theater speakers with all the essential features
*by A***H on August 12, 2012*

I was looking for compact home theaters for a really long time. My requirements were the following:- great sound quality, of course- no wires running all over my living room- wireless connectivity to play music from my ipad ( air play or bluetooth)- more recent model, preferably 2012 one- hdmi or optical connectivity- seamless integration with my tv and switch between dish network cable programming, netflix, vudu apps without additional buttons to press- look elegant and match my new 46" led tv- reasonably sized subwoofer (not like the ugly Bose ones)I did a lot of research, looked at compact home theater systems and sound bars, including Bose cinemate, Energy Power Bar elite, Polk audio, Boston accoistic sound bars, and other stanadard Sony, LG ones, and finally settled on this.Pros:- meets all my requirements listed above (this was in fact the only system that did)- as a bonus, I could split the sound bar into two separate towers with attached base- looks awesome- sound bar remote automatically operates my Samsung tv- another bonus featureCons:- expected Samsung to provide better instructions to asemble. Took quite a while for me to figure out the optimal connectivity. Bluetooth connection with my ipad was easy and I could wirelessly listen to my Pandora staions immediately. But for seamless integration with Tv, I figured out after some google searches that I should use the HDMI-ARC port in my TV. ARC stands for Audio Return Cable.- unit turns off with my tv when using my tv remote, but does not turn on. Have to use the sound bar remote to turn it on.Overall I am pleased with the functionality, sound quality and the looks, and would highly recommend this product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Pain to Get Working, but Worth it in the end...
*by R***P on November 19, 2012*

This soundbar is awesome. It's worth every penny. The subwoofer boomed when I watched the Dark Knight Rises, and all the sounds were crisp and clear. So why only 4 stars? It doesn't come with all of the parts you might need. My (Samsung, ironically) TV is digital sound output only. What that means is that I can't connect it with an auxillary jack, or an HDMI cable. This is a big problem with most of the reviewers. You really need to read up on what your TV does before you buy these speakers because you might not have the necessary qualifications from your TV to work this.To summarize, make sure that your TV can hook up properly with a sound system before you buy, and if you configure everything properly, you won't be disappointing with the results.

### ⭐ When working it's pretty good
*by J***H on December 2, 2012*

Liked the idea of two vertical speakers vs a horizontal soundbar. The two speakers are connected via speaker wire and power only connected to the right speaker. HDMI or optical cable from TV and other devices connect to the subwoofer and sends sound to the two speakers wirelessly. This means the sub must be close to the TV.Problem started day one. It took almost 10 minutes trying to figure out how to sync the sub wirelessly to the speakers. Instructions for this is a joke. I'm still not sure how I eventually got it working but I did. Less that an hour later I hear loud static and then nothing. Only sound was coming from the sub and the speaker was showing an error message 'Check Subwoofer'. So I look-up this error in the manual but nothing. So I try powering off each speaker and try to re-sync. I finally got it to work. A day or two later same thing. Now it happens on a daily basis. NOTE: My sub and the right speaker are less that 10 inches apart so it's not a distance issue.I'm returning it now before I'm stuck with a +$300 non-working speaker. Be warned.
