    I was expecting more from a Bose product. It was much louder but it did not give the home theater feel.

      Thank you for taking the time to write your review. One troubleshooting step we would suggest is checking the volume on your cable/satellite box to ensure that it is at about 90%. Then, you'd control the volume from the Bose remote. If you'd like us to take a closer look at your setup with you to ensure optimum performance, we'd be happy to help. You can reach us at 1-800-379-2073. We are open from Mon. – Fri., 9 AM – 9 PM and on Sat., 9 AM – 7 PM ET. Bose

      Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to review our Solo 5 Soundbar.
      I'm sorry to hear that you were not impressed by our Soundbar. When using this Soundbar, my first suggestion is to check the volume level of the source (such as the TV or Cable box), and ensure that this is not set at a low volume. Some TV's will treat the Soundbar as "headphones" and have an internal volume for this, so please check! As for Syncing the remote, I would advise when you enter the code that you check all of the "Channels", by entering the code and pressing "Volume+". Try a button (such as guide, menu, etc), and if this doesn't respond press "Volume+" again and try once more - keep going until you find your channel on that code!
      If you'd like some assistance with this, please reach out to Bose Support in your local region.
