An excellent surround soune system for a great price
By R. Brandwein
I purchased this surround sound system with my Samsung LCD 46in 750 series HDTV.This is a great surround sound system for the price. I was not looking to spend a crazy amount of $$ for a surround sound system. Some go for over $1000.I am overall extremely satisfied with this product. Setup was easy, but the manual is somewhat confusing.Sound is great. I use an optical digital audio cable (NOT included--about $30-$50 depending on length) from this system to HDTV. This is the best way for me, as I then don't have to connect anything else to the surround system. Any device that I use (Cable, Wii, XBOX 360), gets connected to the TV & the sound goes from the TV to the system via the optical audio cable.Also, has anynet+. Which means that any other Samsung device's remote with anynet+ can operate the system (& vice versa) without programming.Had built in up-converting DVD player. Is not an HD-DVD, but will up-convert any DVD to a better digital looking & sounding DVD. The built in DVD player gives you one less device in your home theaterIssues that could be better (therefore 4 star):Wires for rear speakers could be longer. They are only about 30ft. Need to be at least 50 feet, or maybe even longer, to adequately run the wires over doors so they don't run across the roomAlso, the speaker wires that connect to the samsung system itself are attached to a special connector. Therefore, you can't just run your own speaker wire from the system. You need to "splice" additional wire to the wires provided (Samsung doesn't sell longer wires, I called them).The wires that do come with the system are not great in terms of gauge (samsung doesn't even known what gauge they are--level 2 support had no idea), but based on the size, I'm guessing about 18, maybe even 20 gauge)You can go wireless for the rear speakers, but that's an additional $100 for a wireless receiver. ALSO, BE AWARE, that with any wireless speaker device, it WILL INTERFERE with wireless internet (you will get bumped off router if using in same room when receiver is on), certain cordless phones & certain microwaves. For this reason, I didn't purchase the wireless receiver.Others have mentioned issues with mounting, as the mounts cannot be turned towards a specified direction. This is NOT an issue for me, as my speakers are not mounted, so I can't commentOVERALL, This is a great sounding system for an unbelievable price!!If you are an audiophile, this is NOT for you. Spend over $1000 for something else. If you want great sound at a great price, then this is for you

Great sound, BAD DVD upconversion
By J. Wright
First, this system is very cheap. Even if you order the $89 wireless kit (which is a bit finicky), it is still ~$300. The sound is also AMAZING for such a cheap system. I combined it with my new Samsung LN40A550 LCD TV (which has crappy speakers) and won't go back to factory TV speakers.Also, Anynet is better than you think. Having you Samsung TV automatically control your volume through the HDMI cable is awesome. One remote!As mentioned elsewhere, the iPod interface is awful. As a graduate student who likes to throw parties, it was a complete annoyance to find that the interface will only play songs in alphabetical order!BUT, the worst problem BY FAR is the upconversion of the DVDs to 1080p resolution. In short, the 1080p resolution is SO pixelated, I can see the pixels from 8 feet away. This was confirmed by other users at avsforums.cmom. To make the image slightly smoother, I have the DVD Player set to standard output at 480p (non-HD) resolution and let the TV do its best to display the signal. My TV is expensive and does a decent job. In other words: it is identical to using a $40 non-upconversion DVD player. In general this is unacceptable. But it will have to do until I graduate!If you don't mind standard DVD image quality and just need a cheap high-quality sound system: buy it. If you need good images from your DVD collection, buy a more expensive system.

Very happy so far
By M. Abbott
We have had this for about a week and are so far very pleased. I am not an expert but I think the sound quality is very good. You do have to read the instructions to figure out all the different bells and whistles (especially to figure out when to get the 5.1 vs 2 speaker sound). we have a 46" Samsung LCD so they are in sync with each other- my only complaint is that when I have them linked and I turn on the system to listen to a CD it also turns on my tv...a little gripe but I can get over it. We would have liked to have gotten the HT-Z410 with the 5 discs but the depth of that unit was too big for our entertainment system. All in all- for the price we couldn't be happier with the unit. We always buy from Amazon- wonderful service!

Unique design, conversational piece. Great sound.
By Wei Lee
There are obviously many surround sound systems available on the market. So the first thing I did is to figure out my most important criteria. For me, the top 2 criteria are (1) Wow factor look, (2) Wireless surround rear speakers. I have owned this unit for 6 months. I bought it online new for $1500.As you can see from my uploaded pictures, I am going for the simple but elegant look. I am no longer attracted to the rack of black A/V equipment. We became somewhat immune to the stacks of equipment as we visit different homes. The Sony DAV-LF1 is truly unique in this respect. The form factor is simple different from the rest of the manufacturers. Visitors stop to take a closer look at the unit. They wonder what it is, they want to know where all the wires are. They are simply amazed that this is my receiver and surround sound system! The electronics and input/output ports are located at the sub-woofer. So the glass control unit only has a very elegant white cable going to it. Very clean and simple. No wire messes around. Also, check out in pictures how CDs and DVDs are slotted into the glass control unit. It is motorized and very practical.Secondly, my family room floor is tiled and I have no way of wiring the rear surround speakers without some really ugly wires running exposed. The Sony DAV-LF1 solves this problem superbly by providing wireless rear speakers. However, do study up on how the wireless system works, and make sure that if you need a wireless feature, this architecture will work for you. For example, the Sony DAV-LF1 uses infra-red rather than RF (radio frequency). This is supposed to prevent interference from other wireless devices (such as cordless phones, wireless 802.11(x) hubs). However, it will require line of sight between a transmitter in the front and a rear speaker at the back. Also note that one of the rear speakers will need AC power outlet to power-up the wireless system. So don't go around thinking that you can have the rear speakers hanging around the ceiling with no wires at all.Of course the sound quality itself is superb. But the bass is a tad soft. If you are the type who wants to bring down the house with thumping bass, then this is not the unit for you.Other pleasant surprises include:Super Audio CD is something that I wasn't aware of. Basically, this is a new format from our normal audio CD. There are not a lot of selections on the market, but I did buy a few to enjoy. They are simply stunning with surround sound effect. Imagine listening to Jazz and you can hear different instruments being projected from different parts of the room.I was lementing that I have to spend $50 each for the wall-mount kit for the speakers. Turns out that I can put 2 screws behind the speakers myself and then use the keyed picture hangers to hang them on the wall. So, my point is that it is possible to get away without buying the very expensive mounting kits from Sony. My result is posted in the image section.Some negative feedback that falls into the "wish I knew that section":- The DVD player does take a long time to read and get started. A minor inconvenience, but did not go unnoticed.- There are no tone controls (treble and bass) for the amplifier. Not a big deal, I have come to just let the producer decide and deal with sound mix. Actually, I thought it was a little strange in the beginning, but now I find myself not even worrying about tone controls.- The wires for the speakers are of thinner gauge. I simply replace mine with a thicker cable for better sound reproduction.- I wished I could change the labeling of the different input source. For example, the default label says "SAT" for satellite, and I wish I can make it say "CABLE". My "VIDEO" is actually "GAME".

Best SONY product in 35 years
By J. Preston
This is one of the finest SONY products I have purchased in my 35 years of using SONY stuff. . . .The heavy construction of the speakers and DVD console is not only impressive looking, it is of the highest quality materials and production I have every acquired from any manufacturer in any home entertainment product.SONY used genuine brushed aluminum and chrome on the speaker stands and the front panels, as well as heavy (at least 3/8") acrylic wherever the aesthetics allowed for transparent panels.The performance, with a High Definition television, is also outstanding.I have never had a home theater before, and have just upgraded to high definition TV (after about fifteen years of not having made any serious audio or TV equipment acquisitions).I must admit that I found the lack of specifics in the documentation to be frustrating, at first. I had to read up on concepts such as progressive scan, dolby surround sound (and "true" dolby surround sound) before I could understand the documentation and get everything to work properly. However, once I updated my understanding of this technology, I was able to connect this system to my SONY 50" Grand Wega HDTV and the results exceeded my expectations.Americans, like me, who are used to analog stereo, and, CRT televisions, will need to know things that are not obvious in the documentation.For instance, it took me a day to get the progressive scan on the DVD to display on the television. I didn't know (and the documentation doesn't tell you) that the progressive scan signal will only output through the component video jacks (not the RCA video jacks or the S video). It wasn't until I hooked up the component video jacks to the TV (using monster cable THX certified cables) (component video cables are not provided) that I was able to get the TV to recognize the progressive scan signal.Once the progressive scan was output to the TV, however, the resulting image was no less than amazing to me.I literally began watching all of my DVDs over again. There is so much detail in the progressive scan image from this system it was like viewing the movies on the big screen for the first time. I used Russell Crowe's "Master & Commander (The Far Side of the World)" for my initial evaluation. This is one of the films that Holywood produced which had home theaters like this in mind. I have yet to find another film that better displays the virtues of this system. The film is rich in foley, voice and music. All of the audio signals play extremely well with the progressive scan image. The cannon shots in surround startled me and my Labrador retriever because they were so surprisingly realistic. The music from this film was also very enjoyable on this sytem while watching the movie. As far as voice, I was able to understand the heavily accented voices of the actors with ease because the sound reproduction is so clear (I had to use subtitles when listening to the dialogue on an analog television speaker).DVD's of older movies, such as Milius' "Wind & The Lion" (1975) (with an Academy award winning soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith) play equally as well on this system, but, without the rich sound effect you would expect from movies produced during the THX and Dolby Surround era.The clarity of the sound on this system, from any DVD or CD, is superb.As a stand lone stereo, however, audiophiles should not expect too much. I played a variety of CD's on this home theater, then, played them on my 15-20 year old Audiocom amp with Klipsch corner speakers and subwoofer.There was little comparison between this system's stand alone sound and my old stereo. (I compared Brubeck, Lila Downs (her operatically trained voice is acoustically perfect), and Dvorak (Szell)). The old stereo provided much more rich music and much more impressive sound. (In all fairness, my old stereo is probably the finest production amp and set of speakers ever made).This system provides at least modest sound, though, as a stand alone stereo. Prospective purchasers can expect better quality than a shelf stereo. However, I wouldn't recommend that audiophiles plan on using it to replace their treasured audio system.As I post this, one reviewer complained about not being able to adjust the fade on the speakers. There is, in fact, a way to adjust the volume of sound front to back. It just doesn't have a simple front-to-back fade function as one would have in an older analog stereo system.This is not a simple stereo system.What is necessary to adjust the fade is to go into audio setup and tell the system that the rear speakers are farther from the listening point than they really are. This will cause the system to calculate the sound balance between the five speakers (necessary to preserve the integrity of the Dolby 5.1 surround sound effect), and, increase the volume in the "surround" (or rear) speakers.There are similar fixes for any other concerns I had.As a downside, SONY's documentation on this system is barely adequate. It is obvious that it wasn't written by a native English speaker. It seems to me that it was written in a foreign language by a technical person, then, translated verbatim into English, then, someone (sort of) proof read it.With the diagrams in the documentation, however, and an understanding of the concepts (surround sound, HDMI, optic cables, etc.) it is possible to decipher most (not all) of the documentation. Sony's technical support (again not provided by native English speakers) was poor, but, they did help.In all I am very pleased with this system and would have purchased it at the retail price or above if I knew everything I know about the system after using it for a week.

a conversation piece indeed
By book reader
I made the bad assumption that a very expensive system should at least be able to do the basic things any old car radio can do. Wrong assumption.You can not adjust high or low tones. This must be one of the few systems even for sale anywhere that don't allow you to adjust sound. So if your hearing of high tones is not so good, or if there is windnoise on a video you have shot, or if the explosion sounds behind you during a war movie become irritating, you are out of luck with your Sony.You can not adjust sound from front to back. A twenty year old car radio lets you do that. If you like to have the noise come only from the speaker right near you so you make less noise late at night and the rest of the family is asleep, that is too bad for you.You can only adjust from left to right.The system is very slow. You can not just turn it on and insert a DVD. You have to turn it on and wait.The wiring is too thin. Sony must know this. The instruction manual tells you how to replace the wiring with a thicker gauge wiring.This is a conversation piece. You can talk with your guests about how beautiful it looks. Don't use it though because they will then laugh at your stupidity for overpaying for something that looks so pretty and does less than a car radio in a twenty year old Volkswagen.

Great Home Theater System
By J. C. Robertson
I read a number of previous reviews and took a chance on this extremely inexpensive home theater system and I don't regret anything. The ease of setup was great for this less-than-capable novice. I replaced a nearly 10 year old Panasonic system that I paid over $500 for. This system was less than 1/2 and is twice the quality in sound and, of course, blu-ray compatible. I recommend it for anyone looking for a good quality, inexpensive home theater system.

4 Star Performance is a steal
By rT99
This unit doesn't have it all, but for $240 you can't beat what is does offer. 3D Blu-ray with selectable outputs of checkerboard and side-by-side. Even turns 2d to 3d, but I haven't tried this yet. Includes wireless LAN with Netflix, Pandora, Hulu Plus, Amazon Video, YouTube, Twitter, and several other non-useful apps.Sound for Blu-Ray and 3D Blu-ray = Excellent, loud, clear, lots of bassSound for TV Aux input = ok, not very loud5.1 Optical Input = so far so good, but can't decode all 24-bit sound (had to set my pc to 24bit 48KHz in order for it to work)Easy setup connections, however, you will most likely need extra speaker wire for the center and rear surround speakers. The speakers are tiny, but much clearer and louder than the large Panasonic speakers they replaced (9 year old 110W 6Ohm full range).You will need to read the manual to make full use of this unit's capabilities. The limited number of buttons on the remote make it necessary for many feaatures to be cycled through with repeated pressings and you'll want to access the different surround choices for converting stereo sources.Netflix works great over built in wireless - sound quality is pretty good.Pandora works well and also sounds pretty good, but not great.Missing DVD-Audio support, so you cannot play back any High Resolution audio, but it will play the dolby mixes on DVD-A discs.Also does not have DLNA for wireless viewing of pics and vids from networked pcs

GOOD but could be way BETTER!
By N. Strads
This device completes the 3D experience of our home theater, minus the glasses which are backordered :'( so I can't comment on the 3D BluRay yet but I want to say that while the sound quality is great, the surround sound is a joke thus far with no capability of going wireless. thats just pretty lame. I got a price break on this but If you are already spending over $300 just go for the SC-BTT-770 or better brand. Perhaps speaker stands will enhance the sound experience and I know the 3D glasses will please. So Im gonna report back after making a few adjustments...Update 11/6/11So after getting to know some of the features and patiently experimenting with them, I finally optimized the settings for much improved sound. If you desire more of a 3D effect then just customize the decibel level on the surround speakers to be higher and position them as shown in the diagram. Customizability hides behind the simplistic look of this home theater system, and for that bumped it up one more star. After waiting too long for my 3D glasses to arrive, they are finally here and have unleashed the potential of the blu ray player. Not only does it have a great 2D to 3D conversion that works for movies and games, but if you watch movies that are MADE in 3D then, like me, you will pat yourself on the back for investing in such technology. The "wow" effect can even be adjusted for your viewing pleasure. All in all this package was worth the money and I have decided not to upgrade but stick with this one. You WILL be impressed 8)

Who Need's Bose???
By P. G. Keller
I recently upgraded my system with a new receiver and needed some new speakers to complement them. I wanted the Bose Acoustimass speakers forever but couldn't bear dropping a G on them. I also wanted to stay in the "bookshelf" size speaker as it suited my set up better. So I decided to try these for less than half the price of the Bose. I figured I could return them if they didn't thrill me. Short story....they did.I was floored by the fullness of the sound. They hit the highs, mids, and lows like a champ. I like to use the action bits on Terminator 3 to test out new recievers and speakers and these really impressed me with a huge wall of sound. I knew they were good when I got excited while watching a movie I'd seen so many times before. It was almost like listening to it for the first time. I also popped in some cd's and I swear I heard things in some of my music that I've never heard before.I'd heard those Bose speakers a dozen times at Comp USA and Best Buy and really do feel these are better for a full sound. The Bose do the highs an mids really well but not the lows. These are designed to be the total package with their horn/tweeter design and they certainly perform as such. They can actually be used without a subwoofer, which is good for people who don't like the booming and rumbling that subs provide. Klipsch suggest their own subs(of course) but I felt the price was a little rich for my blood, so I use a $100 Sony powered sub and it works just fine.They look and feel like they're made from good quality materials. In fact, I accidently dropped one from 2 1/2 feet onto a wooden floor (oops) and it was completely intact without any marks and still works perfectly. The posts on the back of the speakers make speaker wire attachment a snap. You just unscrew the cap, the wire goes through the middle of the post, then you tighten the cap back down. No problemo. A great feature. They also make placement and mounting easy as you can sit them on a shelf, like in the picture, or flip the stand part back to mount on a wall. They also pivot to point in most any angle you'd want. The center speaker doesn't though.There are only a couple of slight negatives here. The center speaker sounds a little boxey. It could use some more treble as it leans a little more towards the mid range. Since the majority of dialog comes from the center speaker, I wanted a little more sharpness. This is minor though and doesn't hinder the experience at all. The other is the balancing. Pairing them with my new reciever to find the best sound was a bit tricky. Again, these are very slight negatives and shouldn't deter you from looking into these fabulous speakers. I'm just trying to be as honest as I can here. I never once thought of returning them though.Klipsch has a great reputation in the audio world and touts these as their best selling compact speaker system. These are a great deal for the price as they sound huge and like they should cost alot more. If you're starting to get serious about your audio for your home theater, there's nothing else out there that's gonna top these at their size and price. Believe me, I looked.

Better than Bose for less
By William Freitag
Recently was over a friend's house and noticed that he had a Bose system and was impressed with the sound. I had a Sony HTIB set up that I was not too crazy about but had to compromise because my wife is particular on how things look and will compromise perfomance. I decided to upgrade my system, but I wanted to do this without spending Bose money. I went with a Yamaha RX-V663 receiver and paired it with the Klipsch speakers. The results were beyond my expectations. The clarity of the sound was outstanding. The lows really come thru these speakers well. My wife's jaw dropped when she heard the results. I recommend people to do the research and check out these speakers. Most people see the name "Bose" and buy into the name because of there exposure on TV and magazine adds. I believe I have better sound than a bose system for a fraction of the cost.

Quintet III
By J. Bennett
I bought this from Ebay brand new for only about 359.00 dollars. What's nice is that even at a low volume you can hear a full range of sound. High end sound for a low end price. I'm sure if you have a very large living room you can stick all four speakers in the rear for 7.1 and buy a pair of large floor Klipsch speakers for the Front Right and Left. Perhaps a larger center channel if you're more than 10-15 feet from your screen. For my apartment living room these are perfect though. As I run on I should also mention that the built wall mounts are awesome! You can tilt the rear speakers inward if your couch is against the wall.

Yamaha YAS-101
By MB123
I just recently purchased the sony kdl55hx820 and needed a sound bar to make up for the lackluster sound produced by flat screens in general. My main requirements were: Full sound, aesthetically pleasing and smaller form factor since I haven't wall mounted my tv just yet.Since I wanted some bass I was looking at systems with a sub and decided the finalists for me were:Sony HT-CT150Sony HTCT550WPanasonic SC-HTB520Yamaha YAS-101Sony HT-CT150- Although a nice system I eliminated it because the sub was not wireless and you needed a clear sight line to it because the ir sensor is at the top of it, which makes hiding the sub more difficult.Sony HTCT550W- A superb system really. Also provides hdmi switching at a very reasonable price. The only thing I did not like was the extra piece of equipment (receiver unit) that I would have to stick into my tv stand and that the main speakerbar has no frills physically. uses ARC meaning, if your tv is capable, you can use a single hdmi cable for audio&video + it should turn unit on and off.Panasonic SC-HTB520- a very underrated system and by far the most beautiful of the units reviewed...main bar is gorgeous, plus thin. Issue for me was that the bar was slightly taller and I was worried it would block the ir signal for the tv. Also arc compatiblewhich brings me to the yas-101Yamaha YAS-101- listened to it in a store and it sounded terrible. no bass whatsoever but I decided to give it a try anyway. main reasons:1. i knew you can adjust the sub woofer level2. has the ir relay so even if it blocks the sight line of the tv it passes the signal on3. can learn power + vol + and - of your tv remote.4. very good looking unit, a bit deep but still gorgeous5. has the sub built inAfter looking at the different units in stores and such I said If the yamaha sounds halfway decent and I don't have extra equipment (receiver, sub) then it will be worth it. I know that you will be giving up some punch with this unit since it's a small sub built in but that was ok for me. I have a smaller living room and was willing to sacrifice punch for less wires and equipment.TOOK THE UNIT HOMEWhen I took it out of the box i was impressed with the piano black finish of the unit, really beautiful although of course will be a fingerprint magnet (but who will touch it?). I haven't wall mounted my tv yet so I placed the bar in front of the tv. It was a bit too high with the legs so I removed them and it was perfect height in front of my Sony KDL55HX820 which has a low profile. (the design of the unit, not completely flat, allows it to sit right over typical tv stands.)WiringMy tv outputs 5.1 so I just connected optical from the tv to the soundbar and plugged in the soundbar to power and was off and running.RemoteIt learned the power plus vol +- of my fios remote in about 2 minutes.Sound qualityReally impressed. Although I had to pretty much max out the sub level it hits pretty well considering I did not have to get a separate sub nor any extra equipment. Sound is full and you do feel some rumble. Voices are clear, mids beautiful and lows pretty impressive. Again I have a smaller space so I'm sure thats why the bass sounds so good.Now that it's programmed- turn on the tv, unit goes on. Turn off the tv, unit goes off. Success!only thing that bothers me a bit is the fact that since I have tv on external speakers, when I hit vol+- on the tv a little box comes up for a few seconds that says tv vol fixed. Not a big deal but just putting it out thereIf you have a larger space this probably isn't for you, if you are expecting real legit 7.1- this isn't for you.If you want to improve the sound coming from your flat screen and 1. don't want to break the bank and 2. dont want extra equipment or wires- I confidently say this is the unit for you.UPDATE: 5/17/12: Just something to note....the bar blocks my 3d sensor since the glasses need a clear view of the sensor in order to process the 3d image I can't watch in 3d until I mount my tv a few inches higher- yup thats right, I still haven't mounted my tv. :)Other than that the bar is fine, sound quality hasn't changed it's holding up just fine.

Fantastic Product
By Don C.
First, my motivation for taking the time to write a review is that these Amazon product reviews have helped me so much in the past that I wanted to pay some of that back.More to the point, Yes, definitely buy this Yamaha Sound Bar if your needs are similar to mine.I love this thing because my new 46Inch LED Flat Screen had a great picture but really dull sound and I wanted to add better sound without a complicated set of gear, and this Yamaha Sound Bar immediately gave me bright clear quality sound in a simple one piece component that looks high end and fits nicely in front of my TV. You don't notice it.I gave it a full five stars because it worked great right out of the box, exceeded my expectations and I really got it set up within in 20 minutes, really.When I turned it on I sat there with a big smile on my face because of the quality sound as I channel surfed and played with the sound settings, how many times does that happen with a new piece of gear?Only two wires to deal with, the power cord to plug in and it came with the other one, an optical cable, so no running out to figure out what cable or cables to buy. You just plug in the optical cable to the audio out on the TV and into the back of the Yamaha.When you slide it out of the box, be careful grabbing it, as along the bottom of the unit two of the internal speaker compartments are cloth covered and you could accidentally poke your fingers through before you get it fully out of the box, unwrapped and can see them.Even though it sits in front of the base of my TV; it didn't block my TV remote's signals, as it has a setting to pass through and relay your remotes signal out of its back side. You can teach this Yamaha Sound Bar to respond to your TV's remote to turn the Yamaha on and off and adjust the volume, I haven't done that yet.The Voice Clear feature is worth it alone, no matter if my home's noisy A/C is on or if there is a lot of back ground noise in what I am watching; it makes dialog jump out to be clear and understandable. Now I can now walk out of the room and not miss what's being said on the TV Show.Also what I truly enjoy is that it automatically keeps the volume from increasing when the commercials come on.The Surround Sound feature is excellent and full sounding; it makes you feel like the characters and action are in the room with you. The Stereo setting is also is excellent, music on it sounds great with depth and warmth like on my high end audio car system.Remote is simple, settings and set up easy to use and the manual covered it all briefly but with enough to be user friendly for a normal person.I feel like I got good value for what I paid.

Surprisingly rich sound
By Tbear
Got this to augment the sound coming from our 52" LCD TV, which has meager speakers. HD set top box and Blu-ray player connected to the Yamaha with optical toslink cables. For action movies the sound has good punch with the bass remaining tight and manages to fill all corners of a spacious open floor plan living room-kiitchen area. Shows with dialogue emphasis get the "voice" option and this works very well. Now, understand that this will not sound as good as a true home theater surround system consisting of a receiver/amplifier, 5 or 7 speakers and a subwoofer; but for a simple, elegant setup, the Yamaha performs admirably. Highly recommended.
