Makes up for the poor quality speakers on my TV.can now actually hear what people are saying. Gives a much better sound all round. Choice of a number of different modes, eg cinema, sports, etc and these introduce some subtle variances to the experience. Connect to TV by HDMI and that’s all you require if you have a ‘ARC’ output. Note that the HDMI cable is not included. I did buy an optical cable as advised by the salesman but didn’t need that (if you have ARC). Sub woofer is larger than expected and connects to the sound bar by Bluetooth. Easy sound bar.
