Posted .Hi, Anji.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your Solo 5 TV Soundbar. The Solo 5 system uses a single blinking green LED to indicate when the volume is raised or lowered. The system does not display the volume level on the TV, and we appreciate your feedback regarding this feature.
It concerns us to hear that the system's audio quality didn't meet your expectations. To enjoy the best sound quality from the Solo system, please ensure that you have disabled your television's built-in speakers. This will avoid any possible echo that can occur when both sets of speakers are playing audio simultaneously.
If you have any additional questions, our support team would be glad to help at 1-800-367-4008. They are available M-F 9 AM to 9 PM Eastern. We hope you have a great holiday season.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds good in store when I was checking it out.Got it home hooked it up did not reach my expectations for a Bose product took it back and replaced it with a Samsung sound bar and sub.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDoes NOT pair with Dish Hopper
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I even had the Dish service tech attempt to pair it, I called Bose Tech Support, and finally had to give up (short of using two remotes).
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose support
Posted .Thank you for reaching out for help on this. Some Dish boxes use RF instead of IR and you may see a setting to switch this. Go to Settings > Remote > and make sure that IR is Enabled.
no better than TV's speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.unless you cranked up the volume, not much better than TV speakers, sadly. The dialogue mode is nice but not worth the money. Better sound bars are available for less money

Doesn't sync easily
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Way too many options for a soundbar! You will need to re-sync soundbar constantly. Poor quality for the high price.

Too expensive
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does not have a surround sound. Pay too much could have gotten something less with the same sound. Not impressed at all

Speaker volume was not adequate
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was hoping for for a richer experience (similar to our Bose Sound link speaker). The Solo 5 speaker volume did not equal the TV built in speakers.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose support
Posted .Thank you for trying out our Solo 5 system. If you are experiencing low volume on the system, the first troubleshooting step would be to look at the cable box. It likely has a variable output and we'll want to bring that volume up to about 90%. There may also be an audio setting on the cable box to set the audio output to "fixed". This is different from the television volume itself. If you'd like help with that, we have experienced techs on hand to walk you through this. You can reach us at 1-800-379-2073. We are open from Mon. – Fri., 9 AM – 9 PM EST.
