    Jcl sound bar 500 - full of problems

    The JBL 500 sound bar is entirely too buggy. We have had constant problems with it turning off. After constant problems and literally hours of research, we have adjusted our tcl TV settings and the sound bar worked fine for a couple of weeks but it's back to turning itself off after 10 minutes. It has to do with the TV settings but we have changed those to accommodate the sound bar. There can only be one HDMI plugged in, and that's the sound bar plug in. The sound quality is fine but the product is entirely to glitchy. Reading reviews, I see the sound bar returning off is a widespread complaint.
