I want to add a sub but have no AV reciever

Thanks Kal and Stanwal. I have a Vizio SV472XVT. I checked and yes to all your points.

Hi Chris555.

I am a new Vizio dealer and I think you are not reading the manual correctly.

To send "line level" output through your sets RCA analog outputs, you will need to "turn OFF" the internal speakers.

This then will only send the signal to the SUB you will be using, and you will have no main speakers playing.

I'm afraid to do what you wish would require also going with a prepro of some type that would then route that signal to BOTH main speakers and SUB.

As mentioned by some, there are powered SOUNDBARS with Subs that can do this for you also. In fact Vizio make a couple.

Actually the Audio Engine are GREAT sounding and I use them in many instances, but they WILL NOT likely be usable with your Vizio.

Sony TV's sometimes allow you to shut the speakers off manually and still control volume via the TV Remote.

Most of the Vizios don't allow this, so you could use them, but you would have to control the volume manually.

Unless your Vizio is different than most of the other Vizio models, you need to check that before purchasing anything. Your idea to hook it up to your existing system will tell you.

Good luck.

Chris,

Glad you got a chance to try it to make sure, but I must apologize for giving you VERY incorrect information.

I have also been working with SAMSUNG screens a lot lately and totally had a Senior Moment and mentally swapped with the Vizio (because I have also been using Vizio Soundbars.

In any event it is some of the the SAMSUNG TV's that don't allow you to use your TV's remote when you go external.

Sorry if I confused you, or anyone else by suggesting it was the VIZIO's

And I agree that most of my clients enjoy their VIZIO's and the pricing is sure reasonable.
