Do you have to use the center divider? I want to fit my 40"L Sound bar inside instead of my DVD player/cable box.

Taking out the center piece will compromise the balance of the overall TV base. I wouldn't make the sound bar carry the weight of the TV.

Hi Jamie....yes you do as it supports the weight of the tv. This item comes assembled. Hope this info helps.

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

Tom, I would say yes . the way the bars are designed gives you the option to go wider if you need too depending on where the screw holes are for your sound bar. It seems though that most sound bars have them in the same place. My TV is mounted on the bar and mounting rack that cam with the TV stand. this presented a small issue because the rail that the current TV stand arms is in is also the same arm/slot that the sound bar braces lay on /slide into but the fit was perfect. the only issue after that was that these brackets didn't come down flat but a little skewed to the back. however it was good from there. I would add pictures but this doesn't allow me to otherwise I would.

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.

As far as I know from having a 55" Samsung TV on the stand that yes a thin sound bar will fit in front of it with no issue.

No mine is in front of the tv, because my tv sits on a shelf and the speakers of the tv come out of the bottom of the tv. So having the soundbar sitting in front of the tv makes more sense.

I do believe that you are referring to the 40 in. SOUND BAR, if this is the case I do believe it is because of the length of the sound bar. You will need a sufficiently wide TV upon which to rest the product.

Hello. I have it in a similar sized room and on the merits of performance, no, it is appropriate and works well. The only gripe/issue I have overall is this center channel speaker is MUCH larger than I anticipated. You need to match it above a TV no smaller than 65"; It needs to be mounted above the TV or if your TV itself is mounted, ensure you have ample room beneath your TV. In general it isn't as eye-appealing as I would have imagined but in terms of performance, I have mine set with Yamaha 7.1 entertainment system and it is clean and crisp for a center channel! Hope that helps!

Yes, there is room for a center speaker. I have a 65 inch Vizio TV mounted on this stand. If you want some photos let me know and we can figure out a way to get them to you. I hope that this helps:)

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

The shelf unit is flatpacked; each divider, the bottom and back are separate pieces which you need to screw together....so yes, you could just use the middle divider. It is a solid "chunky" unit and i am very happy with it.

I'm not sure I put it flat on my entertainment center right below my tv!!I absolutely love my sound bar system though

yes I used mine as a center channel speaker about 6 inches directly under the center of tv. no problems

No just vertical so make sure you you center it with minimal horizontal angle! This is a very cost effective solution for your first home theater

Yes. My equipment would not fit there either. So I put it together without the center divider in the shelves. And it looks just as good.

that shelf is the same length as the overall dimension of the entire unit but with the center support there is about 4 to 5 inches of depth in front. if the soundbar is deeper (front to back) than that you will not fit it.
