This particular speaker bar is large because it has a speaker on each side so sound is projected out of the sides and "around you" putting it in a cabinet may interfere with this...probably not enough to even notice..also this bar is heavy so make sure the shelves are sturdy

It should be okay as long as the shelf is open on both ends. You don't want to cover up the speakers on each end of the soundbar.

Tough question in that I haven't ever turned up the volume loud enough to find out. Let me say this...this soundbar is AWESOME. If you can't put 5 separate surround sound speakers w/ wires everywhere, you will be completely satisfied. This soundbar's cabinet is solid/heavy and well-made. You say you have a separate shelf for this speaker...that's good. But in order for this speaker to work right, you can't have anything in front of its 5 front speakers and 2 side speakers. So if you have a shelf, I have to assume the 2 side speakers will be obstructed and maybe 1 of the front speakers also.

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.

Yes, it helps a lot. DE enabled at normal volume works great. Much better than default speakers on the TV.

I'd also like to know, since the sound on this tv is low. If anyone else knows , please reply to both of us

There is not a audio output on the LN5100 - the only way you can run a soundbar is if you hook it up directly to the source.

Any digital sound bar will work fine. Regarding brand, your choice.However, unless you are looking to have the surround sound experience, I found that you don't need a sound bar as the quality of Samsung's internal speakers equal those of 'cabinet' speakers. I've owned 4 Samsung TVs, currently 2, and have yet to be disappointed with their sound. Hope this helps.

Use the optical cable that comes included. One wire from bar to tv. Then change the audio setting on your TV to external.

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.

you can adjust the sound thru your tv remote. go to settings then sound. I know you can have surround, just check the options. Mine i bought the philips sound bar ($98.00) with subwoofer. You can put the tv on mute or have the tv sound on. Works perfectly fine

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?

According to the LG manual & the TECH REP I spoke with who was visiting local BestBuy, this cannot be done. You have two options; use TV speakers or use Sound Bar speakers. Be forewarned, depending upon make of Sound Bar you purchase will determine how the volume is tuned, increased/decrecreased. I have the Audio Source Bar and when turning the volume up or down it does it in 'increments' which leaves something to be desired because its either to loud or to low for my ears. But then I suppose this is an personal preference when it comes to sound.

Make sure the TV sound is disabled. Volume will be controlled by SoundPlate remote.

I checked out the support site: http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/model-remote.pl?mdl=RMVLZ620 and did not see sound bars on the list of supported devices.

If your tv doesn't have any alternate sound out option a sound bar wont work sir. You have to have coax (red, white,) cable ports minimum. Best are hdmi and optical ports. As long as you have something from your Tele to the shins system all others will come through. (Royku etc)

Once you mute or minimize the tv volume, then try using the Cinema function. You might want to take a closer look at where your tv/LAP340 is placed for optimum listening. The Dual sub woofers give me Excellent low frequency sound.

Hello, Did you ever figure this out? I just bought this TV last night and I'm very happy with it, but I use a surround sound system and have to keep the TV volume on 0. There should be a way to turn the speakers off - right? Thanks for any info.

Rick, try going to your Sound controls from your "Control Panel" buttons. I recently connected to a TV through my HDMI and I find that I have to manually switch the sound there from "Speakers" (which is my computer sound) to "NVidia Hi-Def Audio" in order to get sound to the TV if I'm trying to watch something on Hulu over there. One annoying glitch though: The switch only allows for you to change your "Default" settings (be sure to hit default if "apply" by itself doesn't work... that's what I have to do.) so you then have to go through the procedure each time you change. Annoying, but workable if you don't have to do it a whole lot. - MJM
