Sound Volume I just got a Sharp 60" TV and now just purchased the HT-SB602 Sound Bar. I hooked it up with a HDMI cable (Arc) but the sound isn't much different (in volume) than the TV. What did I do wrong? IU have to crank it up to 99 to get any type of volume (maximum)

Use the included optical cable.

I hooked mine up with a HDMI cable from the direct tv box to the input on the sound bar and then an HDMI out to the tv. Also I use the HDMI 2 instead of the ARC. Something to try.

I had the same issue but got much better sound when I experimented with different modes and boosted the bass level. This unit won't blow you out of the room but it will improve on the overall quality.

You'll get much better sound if you hook up your cable box to the sound bar, and avoid the Arc. My cable box and blu-ray player are hooked up to the sound bar using HDMI cables, and my Apple TV, using optical.
