What is the height of the soundbar installed on TV front? I have a Sony Bravia KDL55EX710 on cabinet top &amp; height 4" would block TV? True?

Without using a tape measure, I'd say it is about 5 inches tall. We set two 2 x 4's flat under our tv stand and that works perfectly. Our tv is on a large corner mantle so the bar actually hides the 2 x 4's. The tv is well supported and sits high enough not to block the remote signal. Hope that helps you.

As a soundbar junkie I have owned them all and tried every mounting position that can be done,,,, my feelings are that soundbars almost always sound better mounted above a TV/display. 52" above floor level is not that high at all,,,,, I was experimenting with my Sony CT-100, Sony CT-500 and my Vizio Soundbar w/wireless sub and found one of the BEST spots for mounting was 7' from the floor, at 7' high the sound has nothing to block the reflective sound coming from the soundbar such as curtains, paintings on the wall and such.Each room is different though, but for me the higher I place my soundbars the better they sounded.CheersDavyo As a soundbar junkie I have owned them all and tried every mounting position that can be done,,,, my feelings are that soundbars almost always sound better mounted above a TV/display. 52" above floor level is not that high at all,,,,, I was experimenting with my Sony CT-100, Sony CT-500 and my Vizio Soundbar w/wireless sub and found one of the BEST spots for mounting was 7' from the floor, at 7' high the sound has nothing to block the reflective sound coming from the soundbar such as curtains, paintings on the wall and such.Each room is different though, but for... » Read More As a soundbar junkie I have owned them all and tried every mounting position that can be done,,,, my feelings are that soundbars almost always sound better mounted above a TV/display. 52" above floor level is not that high at all,,,,, I was experimenting with my Sony CT-100, Sony CT-500 and my Vizio Soundbar w/wireless sub and found one of the BEST spots for mounting was 7' from the floor, at 7' high the sound has nothing to block the reflective sound coming from the soundbar such as curtains, paintings on the wall and such.Each room is different though, but for me the higher I place my soundbars the better they sounded.CheersDavyo « Show Less

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

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.

When I did my research the sound bar bracket should be installed first. I mounted my sound bar directly to the wall because there is not enough space above or below tv

My guess is the width of the sound bar exceeds the width of the TV. I don't see any reason it won't work if your installation allows the space to place the sound bar. (Just a guess.)

Ok, guys I'm old and new to this stuff, so be pateint... How does a sound bar work. Is it hooked to the TV and instead of the sound coming from the TV it comes out of the sound bar and I'm assuming the sound is much better. Can you contol the sound volume with a Directv remote or the TV remote. Thanks in advance... Mike

I also have a Samsung (50") with four mounting holes mounted to the wall. I put the soundbar above my tv and it should work mounting it below also. I took the TV off the wall mount and inserted the soundbar mounts between the back of tv and the four screws going into back of tv from wall mount. No extra screws were needed. I did have to purchase some extra screws to attach my Samsung soundbar to the bracket though.

Fair. I put a polk 9000 soundbars on mine because of the application I am using it for. Another one was sold to my father in law and he has no sound bar. No complaints.

Guess this can depend on individual tastes. My soundbar is a bit longer than the front of my tv and it makes no difference to me. I got a great buy on it and am plenty happy with it. If you found a great deal on a slightly larger soundbar, I`d be tempted to buy it over a perfect fit that costs more and is less featured.

The front black bar is where the 7" is at. If you go behind that bar you have 8 3/4 " clearance. The center speaker that you have in there is 8 3/4 " high. We just had to put the speaker in then put the top glass on. Works great.

I'm looking for the same thing. All the sound bars I've found have been for a 32" or larger tv.

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.

If you are setting your TV on a TV stand, you may have room to set your speakers to the side of your screen. Just an idea.... We have a 46" LCD and our TV stand is about 53" wide, so we've got extra room on the side to set the front speakers (there is a cabinet for the center channel). It looks a lot less obtrusive than setting them on stands...

The TV only mounts to this bracket. If you want to install a sound bar it may have to be mounted on the TV. I didn't use a sound bar on mine. Consult the documentation of the sound bar installing.

The reason is the width of the soundbar itself. Amazon dimensions put it at about 38" wide, and a typical 40" HDTV is about 36" wide depending on bezel thickness. The soundbar will definitely work for smaller TV screens, but it will just look funny since it will be wider than the TV screen itself. The soundbar looks perfect beneath my 50" Samsung (about 45" wide).
