Could the subwoofer work with my Vizio S3820w-co 38 inch soundbar? I'm looking for a subwoofer for mine

It may, depending on whether your current sound bar is wired for it or not. If wireless, no.

It will only if you currently have an audio receiver and keep your subwoofer. It is not a complete package. I ended up using the Sony HTCT60 with Subwoofer because it has the receiver built in to the sub. The pinnacle s-bar is a great set of speakers though.

Probably worth buying a more advanced subwoofer.... Thought mine was but unfortunately my RCA connection to my subwoofer did not work so I tried connecting my subwoofer to my two front speakers. Don't know if that is the proper way but that thing is delivering a thumping bass

I am connecting it to a receiver and the receiver is connected to speakers of another brand. I would think it should work with a soundbar if the soundbar has a port to plug in the subwoofer. If the soundbar is designed only for a wireless subwoofer, then this will not work.

Not sure which speakers you have, but your receiver looks like a brute, which makes me suspect that this little subwoofer might be a little wimpy for your setup. I'm using it with a Yamaha DSP-4100, which is a soundbar and I have a 12" B&W; subwoofer to supplement for movie LFEs. Hope that helps.

It should work, you definitely may need the cables or HDMI, but it's worth it...great soundbar!

Yes, the sound bar must have sub-out. If not then you'll have to use a receiver and connect the sound bar and sub. Which is the way I have it set up

As long as the sound bar had a pre out for a sub you can. If it doesn't then no.

I used a Vizio S3820w-CO for a few days until my digital optical converter came in and there were NO issues at all. The sound bar did soundbetter than the TV speakers, which are also not that bad at all. I needed the converter because the Samsung will not accept RCA type plugs for the audio output.

the subwoofer is integral with the sound bar - it should work with the other speakers in the sound bar assuming your other speakers are working - do not expect the bass to be as full as a separate subwoofer although the volume will be more than sufficient

Its odd that what Pioneer told you works.It doesn't correspond with what the manual says at all.Are you guys connecting the sub with the subwoofer pre-out (LFE--sub with an amp) or are you connecting an unpowered sub with regular speaker wires?I have a powered subwoofer on the way. I guess I'll see if I have to do the same.

You will need a receiver/ amp setup for this to work. (Ex. i have mine hooked up to a Pioneer VSX-822-K 5.1-system and it sounds great.) Other than that, all wiring and accessories are included, or at least enough to get started. The sub has a built in amp so make sure there is an available outlet. It would be recommended that you buy higher quality wire and a way to mount the center channel and the surround speakers if they are not being placed on shelves.

My guess is the width of the sound bar exceeds the width of the TV. I don't see any reason it won't work if your installation allows the space to place the sound bar. (Just a guess.)

I have Vizio 42" full HD tv and the vizio 40" sound bar. Like others have said the size of tv and the sound bar is irrelevant. Just center it under the tv to make it look neat. And the sound bar sounds great my vizio tv can be set to Pcm, Dolby etc. and everything works fine. Especially right now i have trans siberian orchestra DVD playing and it sounds great.

Your sub must have a "WA Port" for this to work. I am not sure what that is, (my sub does not have a "WA Port"). If your sub has the RCA connector(s), you do not have a "WA Port".

Dear Linda, as far as I know this cannot be connected as part of a surround sound set up, you or someone else may have. From what I've read you cannot connect this model to a sub woofer.The connection is done through the tv . If you should have a home surround sound and your two front speakers and the center are no longer working . You would be much better off with finding 2 front speakers and a center again. I don't think this bar can substitute for your needs. I am not by any means a tech guru. I do know some stuff by educating myself with the comment of others on consumer sites. I hope this helps by Bernard Dear Linda, as far as I know this cannot be connected as part of a surround sound set up, you or someone else may have.

Absolutely! That's what I upgraded from. I only had the Bose 2.1 version (no rear speakers). I was sceptical of the vizio sub because it was smaller than the Bose but it shakes the house. I had to turn it down. Lol. Plus it's a wireless sub and true 5.1 surround! I love it!
