|Posted .Pros mentioned:Price, Sound qualityCons mentioned:Remote control, VolumeI would recommend this to a friendDecent sound and reasonable price- my TV is housed within a built in and the sound was dampened to a point. This unit has helped. Setup became more involved/time consuming when I did have to contact the manufacturer of this unit AND TV to get assistance into a TV sub menu to adjust settings to 'turn on' this speaker for it to work. The Power OFF (Red) and ON (Amber) lights are pretty close in color at a glance and sometimes easy to miss that the sound bar is turned off rather than on. Worst two features: It requires two remotes now- TV control and the sound bar remote to control volume only- major hassle. AND, there is NO indication of volume level (scale, numbers, etc.) to allow you to know where it is or was set at- you have to go by the sound level coming out which of course changes constantly. All expected at this price point, I suppose. If the above is not a concern, you will likely be satisfied and probably can't beat the price.

Posted .I would recommend this to a friendMy wife Shelly and I bought this sound bar because we were having trouble hearing our tv. IT HAS CHANGED EVERYTHING. I can hear what people are saying without having to rewind over and over. I love it, and highly recommend this sound bar.

|Posted .No, I would not recommend this to a friendI was so looking forward to the speaker but was utterly disappointed when I got it and found the only cable included was an optic cable which the television I bought it for didn't have. So the tv I do have it attached to I dont feel gives me the sound that the item description claims.

Q: QuestionDo all iLive sound bars talk (announce each status of operation --- on, off, blue tooth, auxiliary, etc.)? I tried one once, recently, and it (annoyingly) announced everything that happened. Not appealing. Thanks for any info.

Q: QuestionI understand that this sound bar can be used with any TV as long as you have the appropriate cable or adapter. . I don't understand, is that something I would find in back of TV or is that something I would need buy.
Asked by Tony
- A:Answer Without knowing what model TV you are trying to connect it to, no information can be given as to the type of adapter or cable you will need to connect this soundbar. This soundbar has RCA stereo, analog audio and optical digital audio inputs and can be connected using an appropriate cable. Check the TV you are connecting for compatible audio outputs.
