Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am an avid audiofile with a sensitive ocd ear lol. I bought this sound bar for my dad for Christmas. We suprised him early tonight 12/15/18. Im used to Pioneer Elite Dolby Atmos and DTS Nueral X 7.1. I know a soundbar won't compare. That being said for the price point you get a lot ! Best sound setting to me. Step 1- use the digital optical conection! ( Hdmi Arc doesnt work well. It is frustrating and truly unnecessary. Only negative of the soundbar listed capabilities) 2. Check your cable box audio setting. Will be different for all cable/satellite/Roku etc. Look to make sure it is on dolby surround setting. Not stereo. Trust me this makes a difference! 3. Check your TV's audio setting. Should be two options, stereo and surround/dolby. Make sure it is on surround. 4.If you go full bass extension, max sub woofer, and 3d on. It will sound awful!. 5. Do the following. Bass ext off!. 3d on. Sub level at 3 or middle. Clear voice on. This is the best for clearest treble, with crisp voice,and bass loudest as can be without any distortion that you can notice. 6. For your preference select just surround button( not 3d surround) and stereo. Noticable differences. 7 If you turn up the bass to highest possible setting, plus bass exention on 3d you will get a decent amount of power fading. The excess bass drawing to much power from the amp. Soundbar does not power fade when bass settings are lower. Just understand 3 inch woofer not 15" lol. Good bass for size. 8. Understand how to balance the bass on this and that it is a sound bar. You will be very happy! 9. My dad who is 64, just bought a 58 hdr tv wanted good sound, easy to use, and in a small size. This is it. He is so happy. Buy this. It is a great value for the performance!!
