re Samsung soundbar: Thanks for the info Tim. I think this is the one for us. Reviews seemed to be mostly positive and it looks less complicated than some.

Yes, you can sit this soundbar in front of your TV on your TV stand without having to hang it on the wall. The soundbar has tiny rubber "feet" under it, to be able to sit it perfectly in that exact position. By the way...you're gonna' love this Samsung soundbar/sub woofer system. I just purchased mine, and it sounds great!

Soundbars are supposed to replace your tv's speakers, not used at the same time. The soundbar is generally supposed to represent all 5 speakers on its own and are meant for small rooms where a full system might not be convenient.

My tv is a Samsung as well. Two of the same mounting holes that are used for either the tv stand or the wall mount are used to mount the sound bar bracket. The bracket can slip between the tv and the mount or be mounted to the tv mount using the existing mount screws. Hope this helps.

Yes, we have our 55" TV sitting on top of the unit. Only the unit is attached to the wall. WE LOVE this set up. However, keep in mind that you will have a lot of cords and cables coming out of the bottom and going to the power strip or wall outlet. We elected to lay our tall speakers down under component cabinet which covered the problem a little. Then, I lined the remaining space with artificial flowers and greens. You may elect to place the component unit lower on the wall but you will still have lots of cords to deal with unless you don 't care about seeing all those power cables hanging around.

I have my 60" tv on a corner wall mount and it works great. Nobody can tip it over. The cables are all in the wall. No cables or wires show. The cables come out the lower wall[behind the cabinet] and are plugged into a surge protector. The stand holds all the equipment. Have a soundbar mounted underneath the tv. I wouldn't want to set my tv on the cabinet although it would probably hold it. It is a very neat installation. Hope that helps.

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...

I bought a universal soundbar bracket and have it above my TV. Looks like it's floating. Really cool. But that's also cause I have TV on placed on top of my BluRay player.... It's up to you. Depends on your setup...

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.

Would anyone be able to tell me how much clearance you have from the bottom of the TV to the bottom of the stand. I ask because I want to use a soundbar, but I have no other way of utilizing a sound bar except sitting it in front of the TV. I've found one that is 1.85 inches high, and another 3.6 inches high. Thanks in advance.

It work with this TV. Simply run an HDMI cable from your device to the sound bar and another one from the sound bar to the TV. The sound is not flat on top and is only about 2 inches wide. Plus there is a speaker on top. I don't think you will want to set anything on top of it. It may slide under the front edge of the TV depending on how much space you have.

Tv works great with just the mount, now if you have kids that play dodge ball in the house, I'd suggest mounting it to the wall. :) but all jokes aside, it works perfect with the mounting system as is, no need for the wall mount, unless u want it up higher than what the stand will offer. Hope that helps.

there are mounting brackets screws on the back to hang the tv but not sure how you would use them to mount any kind of soundbar to the actual tv. Its really thin plus theres a pop up camera at the top so you would need some space for that. Soundbars typically are mounted seperately from the tv but dont see any way to use brackets since the screen is so thin and it doesnt look like it could bear the weight of the bar.

There is no way to mount this speaker to the TV. You will have to drill the wall. I have a built in wall system and mine sit in a little cubie hole that was made for it. I cannot send you a picture of it because this site will not allow it. Thanks Dr. Charles

Yes, this terrific Sony Sound bar can easily be installed on the wall. Best to install it under your TV set. Just measure the holes in back of the sound bar and use 2" long screws to fit the openings, then just hang it up when level.

I have a 51" television and this sound bar is absolutely perfect for it. Has a built in base so it can sit, and also has the ability to be wall mounted. Just the right size to go with a 50" screen. Greatest sound bar I've ever heard. Hope that helps!

We have ours on a stand. The TV is surprisingly light and I see no reason why it couldn't be hung on a wall using a wall mount bracket.

Straight up no. If you get creative yes. First the buttons for the sound bar are on the top, remote sensor on front. I have put the sound bar in a tight spot before with out being able to access buttons, remote covers everything. 2 ways i thought of how you could mount it to the bottom of a TV (if mounted to the TV, the motion of the wall mount will be fine with enough slack in the cords). one would be to mount it upside down and use the spots where you would mount the feet to instead come up with a mount for the TV. (may have to drill small screws into bottom of tv). two would be there are slots on the back of the sound bar that have the ability to slide on to wall mounted brackets. Instead of mounting them to the wall you could get and extension metal piece to go from the back side of the tv to the "wall mounted brackets" and then slide the sound bar on to that. Also here is a link, click on user manual, start on page 5 where it talks about how to mount it. it will give you a better idea of what your working with. http://www.insigniaproducts.com/product-search.html?query=sbar&mainSearchButton=Search If your running a sub or plugging in any extra AUX wires i would consider a stationary mount to the wall or a table / fixture near by. I've had this sound bar for years and love it. Great sound with or with out a sub, simple remote, easy to set up.
