Does the soundbar have to directly in front, and in the middle of the TV? Or can it be placed anywhere in the room

I suppose you can put it as far away as the wire will support. It does need to be plugged into the TV.

Needs to be plugged into TV. My tv is wall mounted with a table underneath so centering the bar under the TV made the most sense.

To hear the sound from the TV the sound bar must be hard wire connected to the TV. In this case the location of the sound bar is a matter of personal taste limited by the length of the connecting wire. If the sound bar is being used strictly for audio separate from the TV I think it could be located anywhere in the room.

It's a soundbar, meant to mount directly below the TV which is presumably mounted on the wall, or sit under it in front of the stand the TV is sitting on. The width of the soundbar is slightly less than the width of the TV usually. The sub sits on the floor, anywhere. If you look at the specs online, the dimensions are given.

My Soundbar sits right in front of my 73" DLP tv an inch away. That's the best place for it. The Sub can be placed virtually anywhere. In a corner usually best for a Sub. Can be in front or behind you. Mine is to the right of sitting area half way to tv between a piece of furniture and fireplace raised hearth. You can only see the front and top of it. Tv is about 12 feet from sitting area. Don't think you can hook up to receiver. If you did, it would blow out the small speakers in the Soundbar. Excellent sound. Only problem is the response of the remote is eratic & some problems programming the tv remote to control volume. When I set up the Mute, it resulted in serveral buttons on my Directv remote that Mutes, such as the input button. Have to retry this setup. I only use it for regular tv and sports. Movies and dvd music videos go thru my audio system. One of the best, if not the best, sounding units for the price. Dialog is much clearer than with the tv's speakers. Surround Mode works well also.

Thanks. Is there anything in the middle like a crossbar or anything that would get in the way of the center channel speaker?

I didn't mount mine on the wall because I needed access to the MP3 jack on the back. Mine sits in front of my TV, sorry I can't help. I love the sound bar though!!

It's separate from the TV volume, at least with my Sharp Aquos. I was able to add the soundbar on to my Logitech Harmony 880 remote.

ChrisI have the same situation, the sub is in the far corner of my combined kitchen / family room, to the far left of my TV and sound bar. The location in the room makes no difference as far as I can tell. In fact the setup menu lets you adjust the sub for location, but I just leave it on the default which sounds great.I am planning to get on remote speaker to sit behind me in the kitchen so I will have full surround sound.Good luck to you!

No - must be set horizontally. *NOTE - I sent mine back for a credit due to it stopped working (and muted all normal TV sound as well) within a week of installation. (piece of junk)

You can use it in the middle of the room; but you would have run wires from the wall to the TV. The best positioning would be on a table or dresser against a wall that has a plug. It is a very sturdy universal stand for my 30"flat screen tv. It could handle a 40" flat screen.

No. It is not recommended you actually place the TV it's self on the "console" the TV should be wall mounted above the "console" as for the soundboard yes you can place that on it. Hope this helps.

I don't have a sound bar in front of the unit, but I can guess this would cause problems with the remote. The model I have has a very specific spot you need to point the remote. If I don't have the remote aimed correctly then the tv doesn't respond. The sensor seems to be on the lower left of the screen so you might be okay but if the sound bar blocks line of sight to this location from any spot in the room I would guess that this would definitely cause a problem. Caveat: The sensitivity of the remote seems abnormal so I might have a bad/weak sensor in the TV I got. Your results may very, good luck.

You have to connect your sound bar directly to the television, either thru HDMI or optical cable.

The sound bar is less than 34 inches and the subwoofer is 11 in. each side. There is a template in the box when you get the soundbar so you can hung it in the wall. The subwoofer is kind of heavy so you will need an special shelf if you want to put it against the wall. I tried to put it on a bookcase but it did not fit.

I bought one recently, comes with a basic wall mount and can also be layer flat in front of TV and comes with stick on rubber feet for this purpose, however it would depend on the height of your TV stand as they QP9 is fairly tall compared to some other soundbars

The heght of the TV and distance between the top shelf and bottom of the TV is adjustable by placement of the support bracket on the back. Every TV will be different, there should be more than enough clearance for any soundbar.

It is possible if the TV has audio output connections and with the right cable/connectors, although soundbars specifically designed for this purpose exist. Although the sound quality is excellent, The high profile of this unit makes it awkward to place in front of a TV.

Even if you adjust the shelves; the 40inch sound bar would not fit but it will fit on top on the shelf in front of the TV. That is how I have mine...Hope this helps
