Does it include rear speakers?

Yes. Two detachable wireless speakers act as the rear channels and can be placed behind the seating.

Do the rear speakers need power?

They are battery-powered and detach from the bar, so they need recharging rather than a permanent cable.

Does it support Dolby Atmos and DTS:X?

Yes, it decodes both, using four up-firing drivers for height effects.

How many HDMI inputs does it have?

Three HDMI inputs plus one HDMI eARC output, along with an optical input.

Can I stream music to it?

Yes, over Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, AirPlay and Chromecast, including Alexa Multi-Room Music.

Is it good for a small room?

It works, but the large subwoofer and rear speaker placement suit rooms with some floor and wall space.
