Is this subwoofer magnetically shielded, that is do I have to be concerned about putting it too close to my TV?

It is self powered (separate power plug to wall socket). You will want to keep that wire away from your other speaker wires, but otherwise should be fine close to TV.

Yes, this sub is magnetically shielded.I have the sub right behind my tv and havent had any issue with it.

YES, It is very well shielded. I have had absolutely no issues. All other have been nothing but problems. Just make certain you use all shielded cables for the devices connected to this hub. ..

A bigger concern for me is that you need to treat the receiver like a subwoofer: you certainly don't want it in a component cabinet with all your other gear.

As you face the TV the inputs are on the right. If you place the TV close to the wall, they should not be too visible.

The subwoofer is a speaker that points to the ground. It's purpose is to provide non-directional bass sound. It gives you that "thud" when there are explosions for example. The subwoofer only reaches its full potential by being placed on the ground in it's correct position. If you put it on a shelf more than likely you are going to get a rattling sound due to the vibration (unless the furniture is really sturdy). And I would not recommend placing it on it's side at all. It wasn't designed to be operated like that.

The magnetic shielding is only necessary for the old CRT televisions, the old one's with the tubes. Any modern flat screen, lcd or plasma, won't be affected so no worries there.

I believe it is down firing. I found that the subwoofer needs to be near the soundbar- I tried putting it behind my couch and it just sounded weird. I have it right below the TV and it sounds much better there.

I found that making sure there was no interference from any other electronics nearby helped. Just experiment with moving the unit, the input cable, and the source of your sound (whatever you're broadcasting) around until you find the sweet spot. I've got virtually no hum now, but occasionally I'll hear some and invariably find that someone has moved one of the elements around. Once I put it back where it belongs, no more hum.

I have had no problems at all of any kind but I would check for any close magnetic interference as this can be the source of these kinds of problems if it's not a tv defect.

I sit about 13 to 15 feet from the plasma with the base unit near the TV. I purchased wireless due to constraints with running wires and the only location for the base was near the TV. By moving the unit further away from my TV I may was well go wired (which I did, Sennheiser HD595).I did move closer to the unit and still had problems. Too much IR noise from my plasma.

It is not shielded. It is crappy cable, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere. Try monoprice.com

It may have been a facetious comment rather than a question, but I agree, the power brick is large. My TV and F550 are mounted onto a Vantage Point EVO mounting system, so all cables, plugs, outlets, etc. are concealed behind panels. If you are mounting immediately above or below the TV, I'd recommend placing the brick behind the TV as well. If you are using the wireless SoundShare from a compatible Samsung TV and don't have any wires between, there is likely a generic recessed enclosure you can add to the wall to conceal the block. If you have your power outlet moved to an area near the AudioBar, getting a recessed enclosure there, which would accommodate the outlet as well, would probably be best. Hope that is helpful.

No, it's not. No need to pay for shielding unless you are running cabling near strong EMI sources

Yes. I have mine setting in an armoire (enclosed on both sides and back - with ample room between the sides of the armoire and the tv) and the sound is great. Does not dampen or hamper the sound in any way.

I can't answer the dual shielded part, but I've have mine running under my carpet and have had no issues with it.

19 in h x 17 in d x 14 in w, i think it's shielded. I placed it close to the tv and there is no problem whatsoever.

There are settings that can diminish the subwoofer effect but turn it off completely,no.The subwoofer has a subtle effect to begin with,don't let that be a sticking point preventing you from purchasing an excellent soundbar.
