Is the subwoofer passive or powered, ie, do you plug it in to a wall outlet?

The sub does not plug into a wall outlet. The output to the sub from the speaker bar is amplified. Sound is much better than Tv internal speakers but not as good as a component system. Esp like no fabric on speaker grills to collect dusk. Great deal for the price. I would buy it again. Order an optical cable to connect tv to bar.

powered, plugs into sound bar which in turn plugs into power strip or wall outlet - we prefer good power strip.

Passive. The main bar is powered from the wall then there is a line running from the sound bar to the subwoofer. It only carries low audio frequencies from the bar to the sub (no additional power is drawn from the bar)

No, it can't power a subwoofer. The only output is an RCA connector so you have to use a powered speaker.

This receiver has a subwoofer pre-out. You plug a subwoofer cable to the bottom plug on the pre-out on the receiver.

Mine is plugged into a switched 110 volt outlet on the back of my stereo receiver. When the receiver is off, the outlet is off. However, as others have said, it doesnt need to be turned off.

It uses a jack, and it just plugs into a wall outlet. Its a great buy very happy with the system. The sub straight up thumps

It also plugs into an electrical outlet. It has an outstanding sound to be a shelf unit. I am pleased with it's performance. I received it as a gift and it works just fine.

I have since sold the unit. I used 2 powered Sub Woofers and connected them to the Sub Woofer Out on the back of the unit.

NO. This is a powered subwoofer. It only powers itself - it has no other powered outputs. It uses ALL the power it makes to create AWESOME bottom end, including subsonics (explosions, earthquakes, etc...)

The sub woofer plugs into the sound bar and the sound bar plugs into the outlet

This plugs into the amps sub out port. I also have infinity front speakers and Polk audio rear channel speakers and nose 2nd channel speakers. This is a great unit for the money.

The included amp will power the subwoofer speaker, but not external speakers attached to the high-level output terminals. They only pass-through a powered signal from the amp or receiver this unit is connected to, if you use the high-level input terminals.

Assuming your subwoofer has a crossover (most do) just plug into the Main Out on the front panel.

The output is to plug into another powered speaker while satellite outputs use the sub's amp to power other unpowered (passive) subs. When I use it I run a cord from my mixer to the input of the subwoofer and then another cord from the subwoofer output to my powered speaker, and that sends the sound to the powered speaker whether the sub is on or off.

A subwoofer's wattage would be delivered to the speaker, not the receiver. This is a moot question.

The answer is yes.You can connect both: powered and non powered subwoofers.
