Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The SOUNDBAR was exactly what we needed, But our needs were complicated - so this review may help. A) THE POLK APP - Make sure you download the correct app. My android had a knock-off or something similar giving me fits. I uninstalled it and then realized the correct app was about 4 down on the list. B) Have an existing transmitter / receiver for outdoor music? Even though I used adapters that I had on hand, You will probably want to buy a HDMI splitter. NOT A SELECTOR. This will be plugged to the back of it and then split to the TV and to your transmitter. NOTE: if you buy a selector, then you have to choose music on Sound Bar or Outside speakers. Don't forget to pay attention to if you may need 3.5 for RCA for an adapter from HDMI to the transmitter. C) I had a devil a time trying to find out why my Samsung TV had speakers muted after sound bar was installed. I could not get the TV speakers to come back on. AND I could not find out anything on google. So I kept playing with it. Finally! I found under GENERAL Settings the AnyNet setting. I turned AnyNet off. Now my TV speakers work. Why would I need TV Speakers? Sometimes he wants to watch soccer and I want to pipe music to the outside speakers. If you are a huge Sound Snob, then you may want to upgrade to something else. But I love to have music in the house and I'm able to hear this upstairs and find it good quality. This quality is great for the average to above average listener. D) CONTROLS that we use at this point: * CONTROL 1 Fire TV Box with HDMI for movies and music. (this is the need for the splitter) * CONTROL 2 Fire Stick is still IN the TV - and is NOT connected to Soundbar- The stick is used to watch news or soccer while the FIRE TV is playing music outside. * CONTROL 3 Universal remote for TV sound We don't really use the SoundBar remote since Alexa makes the adjustments for us. I hope this has helped someone with answers that I couldn't find on google.
