Is only the width of the soundbar the only downside of pairing it with &lt;50" TV? I have a 46", and it's perfectly fine.

No you can use it for a 40 in or bigger and it will work and sound find and look amazing ..... I like the sound but if a show or movie isn't in 5.1 the sound isn't as good .... I think it's a great step up for any tv 40 in and above but for true action shows and movies a subwoofer is need.... FYI sound for tv and Apple TV will get better cause 5.1 is being more built up.... But I think it would fit and sound perfect .... And out of all the sound bars clarity is a A plus.... Bass could be little stronger, but as soon as you plug in you will hear a major difference !!!!!

Sorry for the dumb question, but what is a soundbar? I've never had to put one on a TV - I just have 5.1 surround hooked up to my current TV.

Although I use it with a LG 42 inch it would work just as well with a 47 inch. It is a great sounding sound bar.

I bought this sound bar and use it on a 65 inch tv and it works great I think it is because they say a sound bar should be as big as the tv you are using

I use it with a 47" LCD TV and there does not seem to be any trouble supporting the TV. A newer LED/LCD would probably be lighter and a plasma would be heavier. Check that the dimensions of the HDTV stand will fit the riser stand (mine fit perfectly). There is no problem with the HDTV itself reaching out beyond the stand. Of course, who knows what would happen if you had a major earthquake or something but I am not worried.I assume the soundbar is not really related to the stand, you are just explaining why you want to use the stand.

Not sure. Didn't care. Never seen a TV below 32" that had speakers worth a crap and anything above that size they are only half worth a crap. I'll say that you can certainly hear it and it has 3 sound modes. Custom movie and standard. I use custom. It has a headphone out jack and when I am really watching something I plug in some cheap computer speakers and it sounds fantastic and the volume controls with the remote. Can't ask for much more. But I don't think you will really hear it well in a noisy environment. Just opt for external speakers or sound bar plugged into the headphone stereo out jack. Not sure. Didn't care.

I have no problem with the sound. The speakers are like any other tv speakers. If you're expecting room jarring surround-like sound speakers to each side or a sound bar would solve any problem. Just FYI, I have a 65" Vizio in the living room. I purchased a factory refurbished Vizio soundbar from Walmart online (saved a lot!), but usually it is turned off---UNLESS I'm watching an action movie and want to feel like I'm in the middle of the action. Hope this helps. Hope it wasn't TMI. Would be interested in what you decide.

I have a 42" TV and it's fine. I guess it would depend if you want the width of the sound bar to match the width of your TV --in that case it wont -- it's worth the price though -- not bad sound for the rec room.

I don't recall the size exactly...maybe 6" wide. I used a powerbridge sound bar connector which is about 2.5 x 10 and I still had a little trouble making it all work, but mostly because the cable port on the wall plate was small. It was also difficult for me because I ran all my HDMI's into the sound bar so there were a lot of cables. If your wire port is mostly open you should be ok as long as you position it correctly. Best of luck and enjoy!

My Soundbar sits right in front of my 73" DLP tv an inch away. That's the best place for it. The Sub can be placed virtually anywhere. In a corner usually best for a Sub. Can be in front or behind you. Mine is to the right of sitting area half way to tv between a piece of furniture and fireplace raised hearth. You can only see the front and top of it. Tv is about 12 feet from sitting area. Don't think you can hook up to receiver. If you did, it would blow out the small speakers in the Soundbar. Excellent sound. Only problem is the response of the remote is eratic & some problems programming the tv remote to control volume. When I set up the Mute, it resulted in serveral buttons on my Directv remote that Mutes, such as the input button. Have to retry this setup. I only use it for regular tv and sports. Movies and dvd music videos go thru my audio system. One of the best, if not the best, sounding units for the price. Dialog is much clearer than with the tv's speakers. Surround Mode works well also.

This is a 3D sound system and Sony does not offer 3D televisions under 40" screen size. The system will work with smaller HDTV's but if the TV is not 3D the sound bar will not produce the optimum sound effects. As for the other answers concern the length being relative to the width of the TV it is paired with for athsetic reasons; I think that would be up to the person who will be discouraged with a sound bar longer than the TV's width.

Yes it is, I also have a 32" tv, however I am using this sound bar on a 42" tv because it's a perfect match. On a 32" tv the sound bar will be a little wider than the TV itself. This is only an issue if you don't like the look. If your 32" tv doesn't have the "arc" output on the 1st HDMI port you will miss some of the convenience, however the sound bar will work fine.

Hi: This sound bar is 45" wide. Mine sits on a shelf I had made for is about one foot above the television. It has wonderful sound. Hope this helped. Lynn

Used it for 50" installation. I see no issues with going to a 60" tv. None.

Yeah, the optical input connection is really weak at the soundbar. Sound cuts out intermittently. I ended up using the analog connection (the difference is negligible with these cheapo soundbars).
