Simple set up, I own a Vizio TV so once I hooked everything up I figured out my TV remote automatically paired with the sound bar and works perfect. I like the fact that the rear speakers hook up to the sub which gives some flexibility for rear placement. I personally used my own wires that are ran through the attic to hook up rear speakers instead of the ones that came with them. Overall it sounds really good, way better than TV speakers. So far mine sits In front of the TV, im thinking about wall hanging TV and mounting speaker below but not sure yet. I did have to buy some speaker wire to RCA adapters to use my own speaker wire, I'll add a pic of those so you know what I'm talking about. Only place I could find them was Amazon. My local best buy didn't have a clue what I was talking about, one guy even said there's no such thing. I just laughed and walked away. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because when sound bar sits idle for awhile, like over night, it somewhat goes into sleep mode and you have to adjust volume up to get it to wake up. Depending on how loud you had it before it wakes up to that level, so for those that have family asleep when you decide to watch TV in the early morning be aware of that. There may be a setting to adjust this, I haven't dove to deep into it yet. So anyway if you want great sound out of a simple product go buy one. You shouldn't be disappointed.

I use this sound bar in a large living room in conjunction with a Vizio M-Series TV and a Sony 3D Smart Blu-Ray. I love this set up. For less than $1000 we have movie theater quality picture and sound at home. I'd almost rather watch a movie here than in the theater. This bar connects to BT devices, so we frequently play music through our phones on it. It is sleek, attractive, and easy to set up. The rear speakers connect directly to the subwoofer which must be plugged in but there are NO WIRES that go from the back of the room to the front which I LOVE. One improvement I'd like to see in this product is the ability to balance front and back sound. Because some of our seating is very near the rear speakers, at times the rear sound overpowers the front and I'd like more control over that. If this feature is available on this bar, I just haven't discovered it yet (and haven't tried a whole lot). I'd also like the BT connectivity (pairing) to be simpler. I was able to figure it out in less than 2 minutes without using a manual, but it required more button pushing on the remote than I think it should have. We have iPhone 5 devices that we pair with it. Not a deal breaker by any means, but it could be simpler. The remote is tiny and very simple. It powers on and connects to our TV and BluRay automatically so there is no need to do anything. Just turn on the TV and it comes on. There is a 2-3 second delay sometimes, and I do have to occasionally hit "volume up" to make it "come alive" but I love it still. For the price, this is a great sound system, and I'm really glad I bought it.
