Great Soundbar
on December 3, 2016
Posted by: JonB
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am very pleased with the sound bar. I bought it open box through BestBuy online. The unit was spotless. no fingerprints no dings nothing. It was virtually brand new. At first i was a bit disappointed as it was not as immersive as i felt it was in the store. However, after listening to it for the past 5 days I am stating to really appreciate the sound. It is a very capable sound bar with lots of options including casting, wifi and Bluetooth. The only issue I have so far is that when paired it to my Vizio M55-D0 it never defaults to the input that I need to watch cable when i turn on the soundbar. If Sony were to update the software to allow me to choose what input I want it to pull from on startup I would make this 5-stars. But because of that I always need the Sony soundbar remote near by.
The bass is adequate for me. I live in an apartment and cant have booming bass. but when its needed you do feel it. I still need to adjust the placement of the sub. Maybe that will help the surround sound..sound like "surround sound".

How do you pair with the sub if you don't have a remote control? We bought this as an open box and it came with no remote.

You turn on the bluetooth on the sound bar then you press the small "Link" button next to the power button on the back side of the sub

Why does the subwoofer not produce a strong bass that I can hear let alone notice

I think it all depends on the settings. Make sure night mode is off. Movie mode is on and sub volume up. Also try using a optical cable from the source to the bar if you are not already.

Does this soundbar limit volume on commercials like the Yamaha 203 does? Can I use my comcast cable box XR11 remote to control it?

It has an option to "Level" the audio. I use my Comcast X1 remote to adjust the volume.

Does the subwoofer power down when not in use? There is a power button behind where the link button is

Yes the subwoofer powers down into standby mode and its LED turns red. You can also manually shut it off with the power button on the back
