FAQS
I would not know because this item was not even able to be hooked up to my modern hd tv. it did not have the right plug to hook up.
That’s correct. You’d either need to run an optical cable out of your tv to the optical input on the sound bar, or you could use a headphone auxiliary output (if your tv has it) to the aux input on the speaker.
In my opinion I would say get a A surround sound system more than just a sound bar because I don’t think a sound bar but especially this sound bar is going to give you the volume you are looking for and having multiple speakers that a sound system has would be a much better option for you. A sound bar is more of just enhancing the sound but not making the sound crazy loud or anything like that. I hope this helps you on your journey
There are different modes to choose from, but no specific bass controls.
First off, HDMI ARC (audio return channel) allows for an audio signal from a box (like one provides by DirecTV) to pass to the television, and then back out again to the sound bar or stereo receiver. Standard HDMI connection cannot do this, as it does not support two way audio transmission. Nearly all televisions produced within the last 5 years, and even out to 10 years or longer, if they have HDMI inputs, will have a dedicated HDMI ARC input. It would be labeled as such right next to the television’s input.
Optical cables are made of higher quality materials (glass based fiber optic strands), and as such are shielded from electromagnetic interference, as they transmit sound via light waves. HDMI ARC cables are constructed using copper as their principal material. Copper is susceptible to this kind of interference.
For most people, an optical cable connection will provide an acceptable level of audio quality. Optical provides up to 5.1 support, as does HDMI ARC. However, for cinephiles wanting the best possible A/V experience, HDMI ARC is the way to go, unquestionably. Optical cables don’t support Dolby Digital Plus, True HD, or DTS HD. The HDMI ARC does this beautifully.
HDMI ARC has the added benefit of supporting television volume control from the tv remote, via what is called CEC technology. Once everything is properly set up, and you’re watching the big game, a live broadcast, or a movie, your tv remote can control how loud the sound bar outputs its signal. Optical cable can’t do that.
In most cases, HDMI ARC is the best answer. You’ll still get pretty good sound from optical, and if your A/V equipment is spaced out, requiring longer cables, optical won’t see as much signal degradation; but the HDMI ARC is superior in it supports far more audio formats. And as HDMI eARC becomes the norm with upcoming A/V releases, 7.1 will be supported.
A slide off cover on the back of the remote reveals the battery compartment for 3 AAA batteries.
Yes, it comes with a small wall mount. (Depending on how you mount, you’ll have to worry about cords being visible, etc.)
Q: What comes in the Onn Soundbar package?
A: The package includes the main unit, subwoofer, satellite speakers, RCA to RCA cables, remote control, power cords, AUX cable, HDMI cable, optical cable, QSG, and user manual.
How do I connect the soundbar to my TV?
You can use an HDMI cable to connect the TV’s HDMI OUT port to the soundbar’s HDMI IN port. Alternatively, you can use an optical cable to connect the TV’s OPTICAL OUT port to the soundbar’s OPTICAL port.
Can I connect a non-Bluetooth TV to the soundbar?
Yes, you can use an optical cable or a headphone auxiliary output to connect your non-Bluetooth TV to the soundbar.
Is the soundbar wall mountable?
Yes, the soundbar is wall mountable. However, installation should be carried out by qualified personnel only.
How do I replace the batteries in the remote control?
Lift up the back cover of the remote control to open the battery compartment. Insert two AAA batteries and make sure they match the indicated ends. Close the battery compartment cover.
Does the soundbar have bass control?
There are different modes to choose from, but no specific bass controls.
Which is better to use, the optical cable or the HDMI ARC?
HDMI ARC is superior as it supports far more audio formats and allows for television volume control from the TV remote. However, optical cables provide an acceptable level of audio quality for most people.
How do I establish a Bluetooth connection with the soundbar?
Press the Bluetooth button on the remote control or soundbar to enter Bluetooth pairing mode. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and select “Onn 36″ 5.1 soundbar” from the Bluetooth search function on your device.

I connected my new Onn 36″ 5.1 soundbar to my Win10 Dell Gaming PC (Inspiron 5676) via bluetooth expecting that I could configure for 5.1. PC is HDMI-connected to TV (ARC) for monitor. Room configuration on Win sound settings only provides Mono or Stereo options for bluetooth soundbar. What am I doing wrong in my setup?

I purchased an ONN 36” 5.1 soundbar with subwoofer and 2 small speakers. When plugged in the top input to subwoofer from speaker has a crackle noise. Have tried switching both speakers as well as both cords so I know it’s the subwoofer top input plug. Any ideas on how to fix?
I’m having the same issue, how did you fix it?
Mine does that when I use the firestick. If I stream directly from the TV apps I do not hear a crackling noise.
I have the 2.0 mini sound bar. Hooked up with the optical. Have a green light but no sound. Help
I purchased a 16″ onn soundbar today and it won’t work at all with my TV.
Did you try to change the setting on the TV itself? You need to find the surround sound instead of the TV’s speaker.
I just got the 36 in onn. Soundbar 2.1. When I move the cursor through my TV while on YouTube or even Netflix, it says ‘Talk’ each time a new selection is highlighted, this is very annoying, how do you turn it off?
I’m having the same problem. I have been searching for days and can’t find anything about it. I’m about to return it and get a refund
I am unable to get my on tv to pair with the onn 36” 5.1 sound bar system.
Is there way to turn the soundbar power on automatically when I turn the tv power on ? I am currently using optical , thank you
Sound bar works-woofer works but side speakers don’t. Redid bluetooth between soundbar and woofer. They first worked with initial hookup-but not now.
Are the satellite speakers supposed to go behind you?
Is there a way to turn the sound when you turn it on/off?
If you are having no sound and are using the provided optical cable, you need to make sure the small, metal pin is not INSIDE of the plug. If this is the case, there will not be a clear connection and no sound will come through. You may need to use a small object (such as tweezers) to GENTLY bend the pin back toward you so it goes on the outside of the optical plug as you insert it. Only a small amount of pressure is needed to do this.
Waste of money….Not worth the purchase – won’t connect via HDMI-ARC or Optical cable.
My onn 36″ 5.1 Sound bar is connected via optical cable to my wall mount TV. My TV is connected via WIFI and not Satelite. My sound bar will work with some channels and not other. For instance, it will not work with Prime Video but will work on the CW channel. How do I make it work on all channels?
my onn soundbar squeaked sounds like a microphone that’s to close to a speaker how can o fix this I already bought new wires still doing it?
Check that your soundbar input is not directly connected to any speakers.
I am having the same issue, not sure what you mean by your response. My system is set up to only my Surround sound, not any other speakers. Mine squeaks like its feedback. Through the Small speakers, not the woofer.
I bought the 5,2,1 sound bar and woofer $300.00 would like to find the Co. web site to download the Demo they use at the Wal@Mart stores it might be stored on a usb stick on their demo set up that makes the sound 3d or go behind & around you as the demo plays. Anybody know where I can get this file? Dish Network doesn’t broadcast movies in Atomas as of yet.

I can’t get my soundbar to connect to my subwoofer. I’ve been trying everything I read online and nothing is working help plz?!?!?!?!
I purchased the 36″ 5.1 surround system. I set it up, the subwoofer & 2 small speakers are working but the surround bar is not. No sound or nothing is coming from it.
