If you find audio quality insufficient, you can always buy a laptop soundbar from e.g. Logitech, Philips, etc., which can be fixed to the screen or sit stand-alone. There should be greater volume, with much reduced distortion, and significantly enhanced bass.

I would highly reccomend a subwoofer. It adds that extra quality of sound. While my soundbar has subwoofer in it , it doesnt compare to a subwoofer added. Go for it!

Most sound bars support either optical audio or HDMI for best quality configuration. It may be unclear which will provide the best sound. Both optical audio and HDMI support multi-channel audio, like Dolby Digital, but HDMI is capable of transmitting slightly higher quality than optical. In any case, the easiest is to connect either optical audio or HDMI from your TV to sound bar. In summary, always connect the driver output source devices (e.g TV, DVD, Media player, etc.) into the sound bar via optical audio or HDMI (if supported). Avoid the analog connection like RCA cable.

You have to adjust both separately. I have found if I turn the sound bar all the way up, then try to adjust it with my tv remote there is a hum in the speaker at lower volumes.

Sound bars are very simple to set up. Just make sure you have room so you can bounce the sound off the walls. And make sure to RTFM ;)

The digital optical audio cable is best for the sound bar, but you may want to used the light cable. The Bule Rigger cable was too heavy and sometimes falls out.

I would like this answer also. I hooked my up to a toslink convertor an no sound came out of the sound bar. Any help?

HiThis is a powered soundbar...it has all of the speakers inside. You may want to get a dedicated center channel if you already have left and right speakers. This is perfect if you currently have no speakers and want to upgrade the sound of your Tv.

I installed my sound bar through my bluray player. I don't know if you're trying to plug in from your tv or what, but the sound should come from whatever is actually playing the media.

Hi Sharon,unfortunately this is a centre speaker only and not a soundbar,which is totally different.A soundbar has the amplifier and inputs for sources such as blue ray player and tv audio built into it.They also come with a subwoofer for low frequency sound.I recently installed a Samsung sound bar and wireless Sub for a client that does everything except make popcorn.Bluetooth connectivity for music from the IPhone and for the sub.And hdmi inputs for picture/sound switching.Yamaha also make good quality sound bars.From memory the Samsung was around 700.00 Aussie dollars.But whatever you choose will be a major improvement over tv speakers.Just don't buy too cheap as the more you spend the more inputs and sound quality will improve.Subwoofer is a must also.I hope this helps you and have fun shopping.Cheers.

I bought a sound bar for my T.V. The sound from the set itself is not too bad, but not good enough if you have a big living room.

I went into tools and set it on amplify.That made the volume a little better. It seems the volume on all the HD tv's could use some improvement. So just play with the sound settings until you find one that is suitable. Otherwise you will probably need to invest in a soundbar. Hope this helps.

Yes, buttt! The timing might be a little off and could sound simular to an echo effect. My sound bar is hooked up to optical connection. There should be a way to adjust this tv/soundboard timing, butt! I haven't researched this yet

Yes, you should be able to. I use it just for additional volume when far away from the TV and sounds just like what is coming out of the main bar. Just check the auto volume level as it can make a big difference in the volume level. One way it's very quiet and more "surround like" and the other it's louder and more "front audio" like.

You don't need a sound bar. You can use the trusurround HD sound, the equalizer amplify effects. You have to adjust it to your preference.

Dear James, Thanks for your inquiry. If you are going to use the headphone jack, you're going to probably come close to maxing the volume in the television itself so more signal gets into the soundbar. Does your TV have an optical audio output? That would be a better option.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo
