I bought this to use a a sound system with the Sony 65” A8G OLED TV,that uses sound projected from the screen itself.It is interesting but not enough bass and it isn’t loud enough to create a true home cinema experience.
The set up is quite easy ,just plug it into the ARC input with the supplied HDMI cable,and you are set.I would suggest using a Blu-ray or DVD player as the input on the sound-bar pass though.Whaterever is plugged into the sound- bar itself has the loudest sound and best sub woofer response.The inputs are a little tricky as they are on an angle but once installed you can put this on a wall.I used the rubber feet supplied,again they didn’t put any particular places you should apply them.You wil need to figure out where best to put them on to go over whatever stand you are using.Also press them into the sound -bar firmly,they aren’t that sticky.Switching to Bluetooth is easy with the remote and it has a couple of simple settings.Everything hooked up automatically with the Sony TV ,TV remote activated a few of the settings once you select the sound-bar as an input.
Using the system is easy ,the difernt modes Cinema-Music-News etc have a bit of lag if you use the remote but if you use the TV action buttons it is a smoother transition.I tuned in the TV and never has a problem with the sound-bar awakening and it turns off every time as well.The sound is great when you are listening to a movie or music with a lot of potential for cinematic sound and fairly good for most TV show ,app settings.A few times I got up to the 85% sound level or so to get a big sound but for most times about 2/3 volume will do the trick.Best for slightly larger than average living/family rooms ,not enough volume for a really big room with 20 foot ceilings etc.Excellent choice in the midrange price sound bars ,best to work with a Sony TV.
