No output
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Must have got a defective one. Wanted to continue that "Immersive" experience by at least adding the sub for now. Got it delivered and proceeded to set up. My HT-A5000 recognized it immediately and proceeded to update the software. After that it was all downhill. No matter what I tried, I had no output sound from the sub. I tried several times to perform the sound optimization, and it failed every time. My connection status showed that it was connected but never heard anything. I tried a manual setup with all of the test tones, and when it got to the sub, silence. I'm sure this is a decent product, but this experience has turned me off. I had to do a reset on the HT-A5000 so it would forget the connection to the sub and put out it's normal "built in" sub tones. **Note** when the system thought the sub was connected/working, there were hardly any low tones at all coming from the sound bar. Sounded terrible. I'm back to ground zero, so I'm just going to be happy with the sound bar itself. Sorry.

Nice slinder Sub
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good bass but a lot more noticeable if have the front facing a wall. I have to have it facing straight out because of room set up but there is still bass as it blends in with the rest of the sound. Definitely if facing forward dont expect it to be a window rattler.
