Good to know
Questions people ask
Do I need a subwoofer?
For deep bass, yes. Some bars include one or can add one later.
How do I connect a soundbar?
Usually with HDMI eARC or ARC, or optical. The Setup Builder checks what your TV supports.
Is Dolby Atmos worth it?
It adds height effects when the bar is designed for it and the content supports it. In small rooms the benefit is smaller.
