I think the old comments got wiped. Just thought I would mention even though this speaker is old now: I have this speaker set and the subwoofer does have wired capability for people experiencing cutouts. In the image you use in the review which displays the buttons on the back of the subwoofer, the rectangle there is a sticker that covers a 3.5mm port. There is another one on the back of the speakerbar, and when using a wired connection I don’t have any of the subwoofer cutouts. This does not affect your hdmi or other inputs/outputs. With the SA-Z9R side speakers and a working wired subwoofer and turning off all the audio “enhancements”, this went from a purchase I regretted to one that does the job I ask.
Update: Converted to Test Bench 1.1. With this update, we’ve added a Mounting test and added information aboutSubwoofer Output, Spotify Connect, and Microphone Mute.
