    The subwoofer drowns out the dialog. I was told there's a way to adjust it down but I haven't been able to figure out the remote control. The Geek Squad technicians didn't even unwrap the remote and demonstrate how I could adjust it. Very disappointed with that...

      Hi BarbaraL, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your SASW3. And we're sorry to hear that the bass response overpowers the dialog. This is definitely not the news that we would like to hear. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. Depending on the model of the Sony home theater system that you're using, you can adjust the volume of the bass by pressing the SW + or - button on the remote. You can also go to the speaker settings to further tweak your overall listening experience. Should you need further assistance, please email us at [email protected] with the following details:

    I returned this item. I don't like my music and movies blasting loud. So at moderate volume, I really couldn't detect this subwoofer above just the normal soundbar. Probably ok if you like your stuff really loud. Very little you can adjust in the app.
