I purchased this product and checked out the reviews first. I had issues with connectivity immediately. Don't try to use the remote from an angle, you need to be DIRECTLY in front of sound bar to use remote. The cord on the subwoofer has quit twice in the short amount of time I've owned it. This was a poor choice, I hope that there is a better product out there. This one has been nothing but disappointing.
Once I obtained the HDMI/OPTICAL optical cables, (couldn't imagine unit having zero cables) hook up was a snap. Paired the sub-woofer and off and running.
