Rated 4 out of 5Â by Grantcool Great for seniors, not complicated My parents had a Sony surround system that they never used because it was too complicated. This remote control has just 3 actions: on/off, volume, and mute. Perfect for seniors. And it lets sound come from the front of the TV, like the old TVs that were easy to hear. 01/06/2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by DaveFromSF Good sound, but needs separate remote I recently replaced an old CRT TV with a Vizio E390-A1 39". I loved the picture on the new TV but the sound was very tinny, which really bothered me. I was looking for an inexpensive way to improve the sound quality. I was not trying to achieve home-theater sound; I was just trying find something that would sound as good as the old TV.I chose this soundbar because it was inexpensive, and in stock at my local Walmart, so I could return it if I didn't like it. It sounded pretty good, so I decided to keep it. I keep the SRS on; it provides a bit more bass boost and makes the sound even better. The sound quality of the soundbar still leaves something to be desired, but it is a huge improvement over the Vizio TV.My biggest complaint about this soundbar is that you really need to use its remote, even if you control the volume through your TV. That is because the soundbar automatically powers itself off after several minutes of inactivity. So if you turn the TV back on after the soundbar powered down, there won't be any sound until you turn the soundbar back on.The remote controls supplied by Comcast and DirectTV are capable of controlling this soundbar, but they cannot power up the cable box, the TV, and the soundbar all with one button press, which is what I wanted to do. To solve this problem, I wound up buying a used Logitech Harmony 200 on eBay. With that remote, I am able to power on (or off) my TV, cable box, and soundbar all with one button push. 01/05/2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by DanBG Great sound for bedroom TV. I added a sub-woofer that I had sitting around, and it adds nice deep bass. The sound of the bar is very good by itself. Nice thing is that it automatically shuts off by itself after you turn TV off. 01/03/2013
