If you unplug the satellite speakers from the subwoofer, does the subwoofer still work?

Yes, However since it is a subwoofer you will hear little sound and mainly Bass vibration (which is what it is designed to do) however i plug a separate speaker (such as my soundbar) into the back and use that for speakers.

Yes the sound bar works without subwoofer turned on. Also, when the sound bar is turned off, the sub woofer goes to 'standby' automatically.

If you had more matched satelite speakers you could insert their bare wires into the clip ports on the subwoofer along with those of the two included satelites. I have no idea what the result would be, as this is a complete set, and works outstandingly as originally designed.

No, the satellite speakers are wired to the small controller. I have this hooked up to a 65" TV and it works very good. Can use the TV remote to change the volume. Unit turns off and on automatically with TV.

Yes It does. But I just setup my PC last night and didn't plug it in. I've heard it's not that good. We'll see.Update: I used the subwoofer for a few days and it's not any good. In fact, I removed it and plugged back in my logitech 2.1 speaker system and the PC came alive.

The speaker cables come off the sub woofer as an attached pair that can be pulled apart closer to the speakers. So depending on where your sub is placed is how far you can place the satellites. If your sub is right in the middle I expect you could have your speakers up to about 10 feet apart by splitting the pair all the way to the sub. My speaker cable runs about 4 feet then splits another two feet to each side of my monitor.

There is a volume control on the satellite speaker and a base level control on the subwoofer. Depending on your audio card you can also make level changes there.

It could be the settings in your receiver. If it's for a surround sound system there's a setting in most receivers that requires you to turn the subwoofer setting to "ON" in the Setup or Settings menu... I hope that works!

I want to know why I can't get the sub-woofer to work.It stays on stand-by mode.It works when I run the set-up mode,but after that it goes back into stand-by mode.What's wrong?

No, they need to be wire like any other speaker system. Speaker wire for the satellites and a single low-level line RCA cable for the subwoofer.

Yes - I've subbed a slightly smaller and less obvious sub woofer. Had to do some surgery on the original wires but ... everything works great.

If the question is does the speaker still work while unplugged it does if it's charged. It is not an electric generator however.

Yea...All the speakers will work normally. I use this just for the amp connected to the subs only.

I just bought one and it does have a sub-woofer out, but my old sub-woofer (unpowered) does not work, i am trying to find out if i need a powered one. Does anyone know?

I agree with Jerry, if you have the option to send it back do so ASAP. I have had 2 of these units the first one the Subwoofer and Sound Bar would lose link very frequently, and sometimes emit a strange feedback.But could you explain the symptoms you are seeing? Personally I had the best luck with putting the sound bar in pairing mode (Hold input button till flashing) while the sub was unplugged. Once you plug in the sub it may pair automatically otherwise hold the link button until the lights go solid.Note: My second system has worked flawlessly since I unboxed it, solid link and no strange feedback.

Nope. The subwoofer is powered but the other speakers need to be driven by an amplifier or receiver. I suppose you could buy a cheap receiver and have the computer audio out as a receiver input and then drive the speakers with the receiver.

Kevin, you can't use these cables to attach satelite speakers at the subwoofer
