Is the subwoofer wireless? Is the subwoofer wireless? If not, how does it connect to the Sound Bar?

It's not wireless, it's big and ALL cabling has to go through it since the amplifier is built into the subwoofer. The cabling to the soundbar is pretty short (and proprietary) about 10 ft, so it needs to be close to the TV instead of being places somewhere unobtrusive.

Its not wireless. Connects to the sound bar with three component wires (left, center, right) for each speaker.

The system is built into the subwoofer. So yes, I guess it's wireless. The soundbar however must be wired to the subwoofer.

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.

can the subwoofer be placed on its side ( on shelf ) or does it have to stand alone upright?

When connected to the subwoofer output of a sound bar, which is designed to send only bass to the subwoofer, it works great. I assume it has its own band pass filter so you might be able to connect it to a standard full frequency range output, but I don't know for sure.

Dear Jamie, Excellent question! The subwoofer is both wireless and has its own amp. Please let me know if I can be of additional assistance. Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

Subwoofer should connect automatically. If not, I believe there's a connect button on sub.

NO, there is no subwoofer in the package. The sound bar, in my opinion is sound bar is sub-standard. I have 42" Lg also, I purchased a Visio sound bar for it and I was happy with the arrangment.

It's not supposed to. The only wyfi connection is between the sound bar and the subwoofer

I connect wirelessly to my Samsung smart tv but as you know samsung has the (ready-share). The subwoofer is wireless and can be put anywhere there is an outlet. But the sound bar gets plugged into your tv through hdmi. Or you can connect wirelessly through Bluetooth . Hope that helps

The larger wireless box, and the smaller box with the cord plugs into the subwoofer. I have it in my upstairs family room because there was no way to run a cable to where the subwoofer is. I also am finishing a total gut rehab of my basement as well and ran the subwoofer cable through the walls. I'd say it is probably better to have a direct connection if you can, and its cheaper. I got a 25ft sub cable off amazon very cheap.

I am not sure what you mean ? Most speakers are connected via RCA cables .../which it has . A sub-woofer usually has it's own supply of power coming from a 120 volt outlet ...unless of course you are connecting via BLUETOOTH . This source of power [ 120 V ] is normally located near where the sub-woofer will be placed [ not near the amp .] Unless of course you do it wireless ...BLUETOOTH .

When I purchased the LG soundbar, no mention was made about a subwoofer. Since I wasn't interested in a subwoofer (mainly to obtain clear sound with improved speech audibility). When I received the soundbar, I saw no indication of attaching a subwoofer, but (as above stated) it didn't matter to me. I must admit that I was not very pleased with the LG soundbar's improvement of speech. Be aware, also, that the attachment cable is OPTICAL, so be sure you have an Optical plug-in on your TV set. Hope this helps. Good luck to you!

I know this question is dated. However this unit can be attached to a sound bar which in turn could have either a wireless or wired subwoofer.

Never experienced the problem and we are still in love with our Polk sounder. Since the woofer is a BlueTooth device, you might want to go through the "Pairing" process again. BlueTooth is kind of voodoo and has been known to drop it's pairing of devices for no real reason. Thus, try pairing it again. If you mislaid instructions on this, i am sure that Polk Tech Support could help you or you could Google the question "how do I pair my subwoofer with my Polk Sound Bar?". See if that helps.

Rebecca, are you certain that you connected the stereo cable that it came with from the sub woofer to the sound bar?

Unless you have Bluetooth on your TV you have to plug the bar with HDMI cable. No plug between the sound bar and subwoofer, this is via Bluetooth. You do have a power plug on the sub. You can pair any Bluetooth device to it like an iPod.

I have had my unit for more than a year and have not experienced what you are reporting. I am not sure what the wireless range is reported to be on the unit but if I was having this problem I might try moving the subwoofer closer to the unit especially if you have the base in a cabinet.
