    Subwoofer constantly disconnects and is no way to manually reconnect. Just need to power on and off and hope. Absolute garbage

    These good reviews are ridiculous and leads me to believe that I simply can not trust any reviews anywhere. Bought the LG SN6Y last year for the bedroom on my bus. I added the optional rears and was blown away by the sound. Good bass and articulate dialogue. Even sounded satisfactory for music, by which I was pleasantly surprised. (I am an audiophile btw. I have also owned many JBL products over the decades.) I bought another LG SN6Y open box to put in my mothers' bedroom at her house. However, the open box was missing the REMOTE! "Excellent" condition? No. The awesome Best Buy rep took good care of me and made me a spectacular deal on the JBL SB170, that he recommended. I got it home and hooked it up. Muddy sound and boomy bass. OK, no problem, I'll just lower the bass level and turn up the treble, right? WRONG!!! THERE ARE NO CONTROLS FOR ANYTHING!! Just a few EQ presets. This is unbelievable to me. Totally unacceptable. There are no tone controls available through the TV either. Boxed it right up and returned it. I've never experienced such a poorly thought-out product. Not to mention the poor audio quality. The LG I wanted was still unavailable so I gambled on the Vizio V51-H6... I was immediately impressed, not only by the sound quality but the overall design, materials, and build quality. Good job Vizio. Genuinely impressed. Total control over channel levels and tone btw. AS IT SHOULD BE! Don't buy the JBL SB170. It is comically bad.
