    I like this soundbar its loud and dobly digital decoding sounds very nice. There are however some issues I have with it. I notice them especially while playing music. 1. The bass management is pretty lazy with the only options being low, med, and high. 2. There is no equilizer for this soundbar. 3. No option to switch between stereo, 5.1 surround sound or other options. Very lazy integrations for a $500 soundbar from a well known company.
