Hi Richard, I'm not sure. Our sound bar also has Bluetooth capability. But that isn't going to do any good with the Roku, because that doesn't have Bluetooth. Also, at least with ours, I think when the Bluetooth is being used, the HDMI isn't. So I think in that case, there is no picture. That could be a serious problem. Smile. I'm not totally sure about that. I know my husband had it over on Bluetooth for some reason, and then he couldn't figure out how to get it back, which he eventually did but wasn't actually sure how. So I don't think will be messing with it. Mary
