There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The firmware on the unit was out of date, but the sound bar automatically updated itself as soon as it was connected to my home WiFi network. I might comment that it (the soundbar) only supports 2.4GHz wireless networks. There is no 5GHz WiFi support. I had no problems installing the app on my iPhone, and I find the app easy to navigate and extremely useful.
The sound quality is so much better than the built-in speakers on my bargain 40" flat panel TV. I knew the built-in speakers were bad, but after enjoying this sound bar it would be impossible to go back. I did adjust the bass level to +0 (it is set to +3 as a default) and I turned off the "bass extension" option using the app. With these adjustments, the bass from the wireless subwoofer integrates reasonably well and really accentuates most any TV program or movie soundtrack. I do have the wireless subwoofer located a few inches away from the wall, near a corner of the room, and just behind the TV itself.
The actual connectivity took a little bit of experimentation. This is not a problem with the soundbar itself, but rather a consequence of the technology. My TV does not have an ARC capable HDMI connection. I am currently using the HDMI pass-through feature of the sound bar, and I have not connected the optical cable. My TV input comes only from an Android TV device, which streams content from a DLNA server, as well as Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc. The pass-through works perfectly for this application. It will still require a small learning curve for my family to become accustomed to turning the soundbar on prior to use, or perhaps I will need to defeat the auto power off feature (as described in the manual).
I did experiment with the CEC settings on my TV to prevent devices from turning on or off unexpectedly, and I think I also needed to set the HDMI audio output setting on my Android device to PCM, Dolby Digital, or DTS. This is all noted in the Yamaha documentation. Again, further trial & error with CEC settings may be helpful, as it would be nice if the sound bar faithfully turned on & off with the TV.
I would definitely purchase this sound bar again, especially at the renewed price. I'm considering buying a second for the TV set in the rec room... can I run two of the wireless subs in the same household without problems? Highly recommended.
(10/18 - edited for grammar and writing style)
11/20 - Owned for over a month now. I’m still extremely pleased. There’s been no weird situations where “it just stopped working” or anything like that. Totally would buy again.
But I bought it to replace a JBL Soundbar 2.1 which after about 5 minutes of no sound, like when looking for a video on youtube via Roku, the soundbar shuts off! Now I need to duck around with the TV and the bar to turn it back on once I figure out why my volume went up so high (because it's the TV speakers). Believe me you do not want all this. It's unusable! And JBL will NOT let you turn this "feature" off. Any manufacturer who forces this situation is producing unusable GARBAGE.
Then you go try to find in stated features where anyone else will let you shut it off. It's very hard to find out. It's like they don't want you to know, or to advertise, if a manufacturer builds in a way to disable this energy star auto shutoffoff because the energy police might come get them. I'm the first one to care about the environment but if it causes you to be forced to buy equipment that just doesn't work adequately, what's the point? Just ban the equipment then. Don't make us spend hundreds of dollars just so we can pull all of our hair out everyday when the stupid thing shuts off in the middle of normal use.
So this Yamaha *does* allow the stupid auto shutoff to be disabled. It's working flawlessly with my new Sony x900h. It turns on and off with the TV using HDMI ARC which is exactly what you want and expect. And that's it. Simple. Effective. Worth the price.
The only other I found that do this for sure seem to be the Bose units...but you're going to pay way up for those. There are a long list of manufacturers like JBL that don't let you disable anything about energy star...and so they will shut off on you and you just have to like it I guess. Heck with what the consumer wants. So if you want to find out who supports or not the only way I've found is reading owner's manuals to see if the setting is there. Most I checked don't have it.
Buy this Yamaha if you just want to be safe and don't want to deal with all that kind of crap. I'm confirming for you that Yamaha gives you the control you want. And if you want a brand new nice sounding JBL unit for real cheap drop me a line. It made me cry for letting me down like this. Thank goodness for Yamaha.

Anyone who says it’s not much better than TV speakers either have a kick a$$ TV or they don’t have it set up right. I have friends with $1000 systems that don’t really sound much better.
O App da Yamaha é terrível, lento, ruim em tudo, pede login toda hora, não habilita o corretor ortográfico, toda vez que inicia o App tem que localizar e adicionar a barra novamente! No Tidal o App só aceita playlist com até 100 músicas! Enfim, não tem nada positivo no app!
The drawback I faced was that it's not very friendly to the Mi TV. You need to set it to TV mode manually. The rest is fine.
The bluetooth range is short but not a deal breaker.
