    It felt like I was in the movie theater. I wish I had bought this a long time ago, I've been watching movies all over again. Definitely get the 5.1, (5 speakers and a sub woofer.). Only issues, tried against their instructions to hook my TV up with the HD connections provided and it did not work. I put the fiber connection provided in and then they worked perfectly. I wasn't used to having a menu on the remote control itself, but once I figured that out I it's been smooth sailing.

    I read reviews AFTER I bought this. That was stupid. I should give it a 4 for speaker quality but a 2 for connectivity and simplicity. I don't have time to try to relearn its connect sequence every time I turn the TV on or every other time. Even have trouble with hardwire connection, sometimes works sometimes doesn't. Remote hard to read because display is not lighted.

    I wanted to upgrade my movie-watching experience in my home with surround sound. I originally purchased a set of wireless speakers for the two rear corners of the room, but upon unpacking them, discovered they, themselves, needed to remain wired to each other. I returned them, and the Best Buy associate recommended the sound bar/sub-woofer with rear speakers solution. It was easy to install, and exactly what I was looking for!
