Don’t waste your $$$
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had this product for just over 2 years. It worked great for the first 2 years. I had no issues with it until one day it stopped working. I couldn’t get it to do anything but flash hello. I tried everything Sony customer service recommended with no change. Now it won’t even turn on. I took it to an electronics specialist who said that there is nothing they can do to fix it and diagnostics cot $85! I have even called and emailed Sony and because it’s outside of the year warranty there is nothing they can do. This soundbar is trash. Don’t waste your money. You’ll be just as disappointed!
