Can this sound bar be placed 8 feet off the ground above the TV--and still sound good?

That is exactly how far off the ground ours is. It sounds really great and ALMOST as good as a true surround system. The TV is at 3-6 ft. and the sound bar is built into a cabinet at the 8 ft. mark.How good it sounds depends A LOT on the configuration of the room and how accurately you run the set up functions during the initial install. We also have a subwoofer cabinet mounted beneath the TV right at floor level and that really pumps up the sound.We really love all the features-iPod docking, wireless subwoofer, stereo tuner, etc. that are built into this unit. It was expensive but worth it for us! That is exactly how far off the ground ours is. It sounds really great and ALMOST as good as a true surround system.

It is not ideal but the sound quality is acceptable. In fact, that is where I have placed my unit. The biggest challenge (in addition to sound quality) with a high placement is turning the unit on and off.

I just would not consider buying this. There are plenty of others on the market that are much less expensive. Yes, you could above the TV, just mount whichever you buy then try a few different angles starting with aiming the device towards your ear when you are sitting. Hope this helps.

My YSP-4100 Owner's Manual shows that installation can be below or above the TV. However, when calibrating, the manual states that the setup microphone must be within 1 meter of the YSP-4100 vertically (about a yard above or below the center of the speaker.) To me this seems to indicate that if you are sitting with your ears more than a yard below the speaker then you would probably get a reduced "sound field" effect. I'm sure you would hear the same range and clarity of sound, but the directional effects may be reduced/eliminated.

As the device give a surround sound if you go through set up process properly it will give you a decent sound it is not 5.1 but i prefer this sound bar to % 90 of the 5.1 s on the market

If any sound bar could do it this one would probably be the one due to it's ability to auto-calibrate itself with a microphone placed at the "listening" point and the vast array of speakers which allow it some dynamics in adjusting the direction. That said, it is still limited by the layout of the room. Mine is placed in such a way that the right side is only a few feet off the side wall but the left side is probably 20' from a wall. Because of that the ability to "bounce" the left rear surround sound is limited. Still, I have to say it is pretty impressive overall for a bar. I get some really good right rear effects and some slightly muffled, delayed left rear effects but they are still there. Mine isn't wall mounted but I don't believe the yamaha wall mount has a tilt option. At 8' high you will probably benefit greatly from a tilt mount where you can at least focus the sound down at the listening area. You may have to go third party to find such a thing.

I guess that depends on how far away the satellite speaker is.....the cable I got is 15 feet long so it would allow you to place the speaker about 15 feet from the sound bar. You decide.

You actually could mount this speaker to the TV but you'd have to get creative with the use of a soundbar bracket. Also, the speaker would likely stick out way past the TV, but if you're happy with that then you could definitely make it happen. Check out the Sewell universal soundbar bracket. Good luck!

i have put in on the floor, under the tv, on a separate adjoining shelf... as long as the connectors can reach the tv you will be fine.. it works anywhere.. and it really produces great sound!

Absolutely. If height adjustment and stability are important to you. I suggest you get VTI stands. They are pricey, but WELL worth it! You can "bluTac" them to the base, or do what I did: made a an extra hole in the top plate and used a custom built mount to screw it securely using the l-shape bracket and back speaker holes.

If you're asking if you can put the tv directly on top of the sounds bar, no. The sound bar is not a suitable stand. You would probably have better luck mounting the sound bar above the tv.

Yes, you can sit this soundbar in front of your TV on your TV stand without having to hang it on the wall. The soundbar has tiny rubber "feet" under it, to be able to sit it perfectly in that exact position. By the way...you're gonna' love this Samsung soundbar/sub woofer system. I just purchased mine, and it sounds great!

I'm not sure I put it flat on my entertainment center right below my tv!!I absolutely love my sound bar system though

I use mine below my tv and it works wonderfully. It's rather large and heavy. also, remember it should be at or as close to ear level as possible (when sitting down).

Guess you could but its a lot taller than any sound bar I have seen. I pesonally would not use it as one but to each their own.. Sounds real good!

I have mine mounted to the wall just under my tv. Maybe a few inches at most. Works and sounds great as a center speaker.

My opinion would be no. It's fairly heavy (several pounds). It's 54 inches long. The top of the sound bar is smooth plastic so I'm not sure how you would mount it. You could mount a shelf under the TV and sit the sound bar on it, as long as it was anchored into studs.

Yes I mounted mine horizontally about a foot or so below the eve. They sound very good. You won't be disappointed. They are full sounding and the base is good even without a subwoofer.

Mrs. C.I am using it with a Panasonic 46" television. The sound bar is 40" wide by itself, so measure your available space in front of the TV. The bass unit can go on the floor or behind the TV. Dan Hart

Check out SoundbarBrackets.comYou can attach your soundbar right to the TV above or below, even in a corner!

Absolutely, I have a 400 ft2 living room with 10 ft ceilings and this sub shakes the entire room (and house). Just move it around the room and see where it sounds the best.

Hello. I have it in a similar sized room and on the merits of performance, no, it is appropriate and works well. The only gripe/issue I have overall is this center channel speaker is MUCH larger than I anticipated. You need to match it above a TV no smaller than 65"; It needs to be mounted above the TV or if your TV itself is mounted, ensure you have ample room beneath your TV. In general it isn't as eye-appealing as I would have imagined but in terms of performance, I have mine set with Yamaha 7.1 entertainment system and it is clean and crisp for a center channel! Hope that helps!
