Does the LG S55TR support Dolby Atmos?

No. It decodes Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround and LPCM, and simulates surround, but it has no height channels or Atmos decoding.

Can I connect a game console through the soundbar?

Not for video. The bar has one HDMI output with ARC and no HDMI pass-through, so consoles and streamers should plug into the TV and send audio back over ARC or optical.

Do the rear speakers need wires to the soundbar?

No. The rear speakers and subwoofer connect wirelessly, but each rear speaker still needs its own power outlet.

Will one remote control both the soundbar and my TV?

Yes, with a compatible LG TV the included remote adjusts volume and sound modes on both. Other TVs work over ARC or optical with their own remote.

Is there an app for adjusting the sound?

Yes. LG's app control lets you change sound modes and levels from a phone, and Bluetooth streaming is supported.

How big is the soundbar?

The bar measures about 33.5 inches wide and 2.5 inches tall, so it fits under most 43- to 55-inch TVs without blocking the screen.

Our take on the LG S55TR 5.1 Channel Corded Electric Soundbar with Dolby Audio and Rear Speakers

The LG S55TR is a 5.1 soundbar system with a wireless subwoofer and two wireless rear speakers, so you get true surround placement without running cables across the room. It decodes Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround and uses LG's AI sound processing to lift dialogue and boost bass on the fly. It suits people who want real rear-channel surround on a budget and don't need HDMI pass-through or room calibration. Against step-up LG bars it gives up HDMI inputs, Dolby Atmos and auto-calibration, but the included rear speakers are the feature most rivals at this level charge extra for.
