    This is a great soundbar, however I have it connected to my 75 inch Sony tv by optical. On occasion the sound just drops for u determined time, then comes back on, or if I turn soundbar off and it comes back on the sounds works. For this price should not have these issues

    This is my first experience with a soundbar and it’s being very disappointing so far. The sound has very low definition and is muffled. If you don’t use the sub-woofer, you will feel like hearing a 1920 gramophone
