Can you control the volume on the subwoofer &amp; what are the subwoofers dimensions? I don't want to blow my hearing aids up!

Yes u can control the sub-woofer. There is a button on the top when depressed u can have a lot of Bass or not so much. I have mine on the not so much bass and it is plenty of bass. In the more bass it rumbles to much and is a bit over powering. The unit should come with a remote control u can change settings from your chair. Remote control is very fragile so if u buy a new unit take care of the control. Once set use your vol. control for the TV. I love my VIZIO sound bar great unit makes all the difference in the world in the sound. Especially if TV is not mounted to the wall. The speakers on most all HD TV"S are on the back side that redirect the sound off of the wall.

I've been wonder this very same thing and thought I would provide a link to the article regarding not using the subwoofer port. I'm not sure if I understand it, but here it is :http://www.polkaudio.com/education/article.php?id=19

I think the subwoofer is 8 inches or something like that but the box is approximately a 1x1 cube. Hope that helps. I have no complaints about the sub, produces great sound. I'm in a decently sized apartment and the bass fills the room when I want it to.

Probably worth buying a more advanced subwoofer.... Thought mine was but unfortunately my RCA connection to my subwoofer did not work so I tried connecting my subwoofer to my two front speakers. Don't know if that is the proper way but that thing is delivering a thumping bass

There are settings that can diminish the subwoofer effect but turn it off completely,no.The subwoofer has a subtle effect to begin with,don't let that be a sticking point preventing you from purchasing an excellent soundbar.

I am not sure. You could turn down the base to reduce the subwoofer effect.

The speakers will continue to produce sound with the subwoofer powered off. There is also an independent volume setting for the subwoofer. It can be adjusted to provide more or less bass output.

Yes and no. There is an overall volume control and mute button on the R satellite (they are a bit awkward t use unless you have the speakers tilted back a bit, which I usually don't) and a separate sub-woofer volume control that controls the volume of the sub, but I have found the effect to be subtle unless you turn it completely off or all the way up. I haven't touched the volume and bass controls for a long time - I tend to use the PC volume control and the audio controls on whatever media player I am using. Overall I am very happy with these speakers.

Yes sound volume- loudness can be controlled. Quality of sound remains the same.

You can't take the subwoofer out of the array, but it has a separate volume knob so that you can turn the bass pretty much all the way down. How much do you REALLY like your downstairs neighbors, though...?

The volume can only be controlled by the sound bar remote. I thought this would be a problem but I have my television audio set to auto adjust sound and very rarely need to ever pickup the sound bar remote.

The subwoofer volume can be altered with the remote, yes. As to whether it is "easy" is another matter, you have to go through a few menus to do it. It's not something that I would change on a day-to-day basis so this works for me, but I guess if you want to regularly pump-up-the-bass, it might be a few more steps than you'd be willing to do.

You cannot control the volume of the speakers themselves. However, if you can control the volume of the output source (e.g. if they are connected to a TV/set-top box) the volume of the speakers will be affected.Hope this helps!

Using some sort of audio manager (I use Realtek HD Audio Manager) also since the is a built-in bass controller for the sub there is no need for bass control through software unless tweaking for movies, music, etc...

Yes to volume control the little pod seen in this photo controls system volume not just the subwoofer. And I don't see why you could not power with your TV assuming it has appropriate output.

I havent tried that but i can tell u that SB16 had awsome sound for its price... Like how u can adjust sub and store it separate... Pretty loud and no distortion.. Am currently looking into buying another one once they go on sale... The sub is 100watts hope it answers ur question
