I bought this soundbox a few weeks ago and still cannot get it to work through my TV, I have tried several trouble shooting remedies, but none seems to work. I have called CSR # at Klipsch but cannot get anyone on the phone. I am highly disappointed with the soundbar not working as it should. I love the sound since I can play the SB through my computer and via Bluetooth.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Please note, If you wish to playback Dolby Atmos content directly from your TV to the sound bar, please note that your TV MUST support eARC/HDMI 2.1. You may need to make some setting adjustments within your TV. If you have an eARC Capable TV, set HDMI e-ARC Mode to Auto or On. Set Digital Output Format to Pass-Through (on some TVs and projectors, this is named Bitstream). Set Dolby Atmos to Enabled. Make sure you use an HDMI 2.0a or higher cable. The cable included with your soundbar meets these standards, so we strongly recommend you use this cable.
I wanted to buy the Cinema 800 last year but was discouraged by the price, so I settled for the Cinema 600 and it was great. Nevertheless, I still felt something was missing due to the size of my living room. A few months later Klipsch provided the right incentives to pick up the Cinema 800 as well and I am so glad I did - the sound is rich and deep, it was precisely all I needed all along.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This sound bar sounds pretty good in my bedroom, great bass, the volume have to be turned up quite a bit for it to sound excellent, don't sound better then my Nakamichi though, my only problem with this sound bar is it won't stay turned off, it takes several times of off and on for it to turn off, but other than that it's not bad.
The Cinema 800 is an amazing piece of engineering. Whether you are watching a movie or listening to music. The sound is more than I could have imagined. I made the right choice with the Klipsch Cinema 800. And will recommend the system to my family and friends.
Great performance when paired with the rear surrounds, the room fills with atmos sound that is fantastic. I also have the Cinema 600 and the 800 is a step above when used with the rear speakers.
I bought this for mine and my wife's bedroom to replace a vizio soundbar that seemed to have recurring connection issues to our vizio TV, who would have thought 2 items from the same brand could be so incompatible. So far its running perfectly with rich sound that fills the room like I'd hoped it would. Plus as an esthetic bonus, the wood grain side panels perfectly match the grain on my wife's ikea chest of drawers above which the TV and soundbar are mounted to the wall.
