Does this system require or allow for a separate amplifier or receiver?
I don't know a lot about surround sound systems, but I know that some systems incorporate an AV receiver or an amplifier that powers the speaker system. Is this something that is required with this system if I am connecting it to an HDTV? Or is the amplifier part of the sound bar or something? Thank you!
No, this system replaces a conventional reciever with the sound bar which acts as a center, right, and left speaker, and a reciever. The subwoofer is what powers the two rear speakers
