Very Nice. HDMI/ARC concerns.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Out of the box, the soundbar system looked great until we realized that the speakers on the subwoofer are located on the sides. The issue with the speaker being on the side hinders our ability to hear the bass properly. The subwoofer sits beside our television and sounds muffled, so now we have to find a new spot for it.
I allowed my husband to set up the sound system because he was excited about it. After about 20 minutes of trying to pair the subwoofer to the soundbar, he had completely given up. I disconnected everything and put it back together. Strangely, that was what fixed the system and allowed the two to pair with each other. We did not use the HDMI/ARC port, but instead opted to use the optical out. The sound was very crisp and clear and the subwoofer gave off the perfect amount of bass. We watched a movie to test the sound and we were amazed.
Our living room isn’t very big so the sound was almost like sitting in a small theater to ourselves. We could hear background noises very well which was always an issue my husband struggles with. Also, the dialogue was very clear as well and did not sound muffled. After a week my husband decided to switch our sound system from Optical Out to HDMI/ARC. The sound seemed much better but we noticed that if we pause a show for too long, the speaker system will turn off (after 20 minutes or so). We have a smart TV so maybe that’s the reason. We sometimes have picture but no sound or sometimes no picture at all when the soundbar turns off. It’s really weird. So, we just switched back to Optical Out. Overall, there’s nothing else I can complain about. This soundbar/subwoofer is very nice.
