5Sleek appearance - Awesome sound!
By majormusiclover
This is a HUGE improvement from the sound we were stuck with, when we recently purchased a new 32" Vizio T.V.Inside this soundbar is six 3" 20-watt full range drivers, and one 4" 40-watt dual subwoofer.This combination gives a much richer and balanced sound, and has more volume then our T.V.This bar is SO easy to hook up:1. Plug the POWER ADAPTER (the little black box) into the back of the unit FIRST.2. Plug the AC ELECTRIC CORD into the power adapter.3. Plug the other end of the AC ELECTRIC CORD into your wall outlet LAST.4. If using RCA cables, plug into L/R 'out' jack of T.V.,and plug other end into L/R 'in' jacks on back of unit. YOUR DONE!Talk about INSTANT gratification, this is it!In addition to our T.V. we now have this really great sounding soundbar.You can use one, or the other, or both at the same time.This is just right for installing on your wall under your flat screen T.V.,38" long & sticks out from the wall 5 3/4".Or if you have enough R.C.A. or optical cable, this would be great across the room,for a room full of awesome sound.There's also line out and aux in on the back for additional uses, head phones, speaker etc.Optical cable can also be used instead of R.C.A., but we didn't have any extras on hand,and though they say optical delivers better, we've never been able to tell any difference.This unit is quite large, 38" long,Height 4 7/8", plus feet 1/2" high = 5 3/8 total.The feet are all rubber 1 1/2" diameter, with an extra soft pad for staying put & protecting furniture.Deep - 5", plus five 3/4" wall bumpers, two of which are built in wall hangers at 16" center.You can use the buttons on the front of the unit, or the remote.They are on/off, - SOURCE = aux/r.c.a./opitcal, - MODE = movie/normal/music, - VOLUME = up/down/mute.Listing to music we couldn't hear any difference between the modes,but listing to T.V. shows and movies we could.The remote uses a battery similar to a watch battery, and is already in the remote.There's a plastic tab to pull out the end of the remote and it's ready to go.Some inconveniences are:No cable is included for hooking to the T.V., (R.C.A. nor optical).There isn't any volume bar shown on the units face that shows when your at peak volume.You just have to hold the button down for a while till you think that's all there is.We now have ANOTHER remote control.Maybe some remotes can be programed to this bar, but ours dosen't have that capability.The infrared signal requires an open veiw to it, it's not a point anywhere.We think the buttons of the remote work just fine, and are of a nice size to use.The remote it'self is the lenght of a charge card, but not quite as wide.That's not to bad, but it's also only 3/16th" thick.That is of some concern, it seems it may break into easily.Even with these small inconveniences we still feel this AudioSource soundbar is worth five stars.With it's sleek and elegant appearance, it looks nice anywhere.The unit seems well made, it's net weight is 17 lb. and has a two year warranty on parts & labor.The signal-to-noise-ratio (S/N) is the ratio of sound to background noise.The larger the ratio, the more that the desirable sounds,such as music/voice/effects are separated from acoustical effects and background noise.Amplifier specification's have the S/N ratio expressed in decibals.An S/N ratio of 70db is much more desirable then a S/N ratio of 50db.This soundbar is rated at S/N:>80db, with a fairly low distortion level of 1%.What that means is, this soundbar delivers an impressive, full balanced, rich sound.In a word it's just plain awesome!Update Jan 4, 2012.This is just what we needed to enhance the empty, 'tin-like' sound of our T.V.The bar enhances music to a rich, full bodied sound, and supplies plenty of volume.Just for the record, we bought an optical cableto see if we could tell any difference between it and R.C.A. cables.Sorry to say that when we switched cables, absolutley nothing happened.It was as if the soundbar wasn't hooked up.We're still happy with how the R.C.A. cables deliver,but it needed said that the soundbar won't work with optical cables.Update Jan 18, 2012, Please see comment of first post.SRM Audio has provided information for set up using optical cables.Update Jan 18, 2013, The soundbar is still working perfectly ~and we're still very pleased with it.

3Decent but don't expect too much
By davsav30
This is a decent soundbar for the price. Nice addition for basic TV speakers. Excellent highs and mids. Bass is ok, but don't expect much depth from the built in subwoofers. Appearance does not look as sleek as other units, but it is fine for my needs. If you wall mount the unit, the feet are not designed to come off, so it does not look right hanging on the wall with the feet exposed. You can take the feet off, by ripping off the covers to the feet and removing the screws. The remote is a joke, so plan to buy a universal remote if you are buying this product. I have a Dish Network 20.0IR remote, that I was able to program to use with my unit. If you are using the optical connection, you must turn off Dolby Surround from your input source. Optical only will work with 2 channel PCM input. Overall, this is a great unit for low end soundbars under 250.00. Just remember this is a soundbar and not a surround sound system.

5Great Sound for a Great Price
By Andy
I unpacked my Soundbar and had it set up in about two minutes. Just plugged it into the outlet and attached the cable from my TV. Wow - great sound. It's a lot like HTIB but cheaper and a lot simpler. When I play my favorite movies with loud explosions, the room rocks. Even my wife, who is not big on electronics, plugs in her cell phone and plays C&W music when she is getting ready for work in the morning. I think it's a great deal. I have friends who have spent a whole lot more on similar products who are blown away when I tell them what I paid.
