Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for a new Sony tv I had purchased. High quality and sound nice. Only complaint sI have is that setup was a little confusing at first, but I figured it out. Also, sometimes it feels like there's a slight input lag between tv and sound. Might just be my cable I'm using, however

Get a good HDMI cable
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this and at first thought I made a mistake. Paired with an LG C9. Sound was occasionally fading on sound bar and only playing on subwoofer. I used a "labeled as 4K" HDMI cable connecting via eARC. Thinking it was an incompatible eARC protocol between the devices I was very frustrated. Come to find out I needed a certified Premium HDMI cable, capable of 48Gbs and eARC. I suspect supporting Ethernet over HDMI. Once this was replaced the system works great.

I would recommend this to a friend Great Product but falls short on Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this SB because it has 2 HDMI ports for connecting my cable box and 4K Player to my new Sony 4K TV. In order to make the best use of Sound Bars, you need to connect source devices into SB rather than directly into HDMI inputs on the TV. However, I am still waiting to be amazed at the Virtual Surround feature. This SB also supports wireless rear speakers which I purchased separately.
