A sound bar is exactly what it implies in the case of the one we have. We
have a Samsung and it is a long rectangle shaped bar of sound that can sit
on the floor or a shelf or be mounted on the wall. It has connections for
digital audio, HDMI, and also has a USB card input although that is not very
accessible for accessing on our system. We do not have all the equipment you
have but I am working on modifying our setup because I'm not happy with the
way it's set up right now. Also this model has a wireless subwoofer that is
a separate piece of equipment and also needs to be plugged in. That
definitely sits on the floor out of the way somewhere. Ours has great sound
but I put an HDMI switcher on it because it didn't have enough inputs on it
to work with everything I had in spite of the assurances the Best buy
salesperson gave me at the local store.
