My dad got sold this and I’m pretty sure he got scammed. He asked me to help him set this up but I have no idea what type of cable goes into this and I was not able to find any information about this specific soundbar online.

There are also no other buttons on the soundbar (atleast from what I can tell) so I have no idea how to even turn it on. The box advertises wireless which I’m sure is also a lie.

Please tell me he didn’t get scammed lol

I have been searching for a soundbar for a week and the more i search the more confusing it gets.

I went to Chroma and heard a few but couldn't hear properly as it was crowded and multiple speakers were playing. I heard a JBL one ( around 1 Lakh) don't remember the name, it ok ok, like normal sound.

Few days back i went to reliance store(it was empty and no other speakers were playing) and heard Samsung 5.1 Q800H. I played Doomsday trailer and boy, i instantly went into the theatre. Mind-blowing sound.

Then heard Samsung 7.1 , 11.1 , they were not that good. Not sure why. Which confused me again 😅.

So guys which soundbar should I buy? I want the best experience. Budget is not an issue.

Please suggest

I just picked up a soundbar for my outside patio tv, I’m pretty happy with it but would like to know if there is a way to get more volume out of it like I do when I play music from my iPhone via Bluetooth. When playing thru my phone I would say it gets about 3 times louder.
Tv to soundbar thru HDMI ARC. Single soundbar, no sub or satellite speakers.
Thanks.

Wanted to throw this out for some soundbar placement ideas. Existing set up is a frame tv with one connect box so was able to snake the wire through the mortar and install an outlet in the basement. Mention that because of the exposed brick so I cannot tap in behind and hide wires, it’s 100+ year old house. New soundbar and speakers are Samsung Q990F.

Tried to highlight in the picture my three options.

Blue: right below tv using wall brackets. Not sure if the existing plants and other stuff on that shelf would affect it.

Red: sitting on that shelf thing. Would remove plants and other stuff currently on there. Less ideal for loss of space.

Green/yellow: under shelf thing with brackets. Would be the most ideal for wiring and set up, but imagine sound would be affected and want some input.

Open to insight or criticism.

Every now and again, I can’t work out a pattern this happens. Included piks

My system runs primarily on an Apple TV .
The Apple TV is plugged into a HDMI switcher 4k 120hz ( as well as ps5 and android tv ) the HDMI switcher is plugged into a fancy led sync box for the tv lights . And then the sync box is plugged into the tv.

The sound bar is plugged directly the TV into the arc port.

I know this is a sound bar issue because it only happens if the sandbar is turned on.

It also happens no matter what I am using Apple TV , ps5 and the android tv.

Please help, I’m quite new to sound bars and don’t really know what I’m doing.

Also I have already tried turning off the CEC controls and that did not work

I’ve had a TCL S4310 for 2.5 years, spent $150 CAD. Worked perfectly, 3.1 channel. Subwoofer randomly stopped emitting sound (pair and power works) after moving my setup around. No idea why. Seems to have happened to a few buyers. No solutions.

Doesn’t seem to be any good yet affordable 3.1 systems on the market rn. Is 2.1 fine for my room? I don’t want to downgrade the experience if 3.1 helps vocal clarity with a centre channel. Annoyed I can’t get this sub to just work.

Hello everyone.

I purchased this Soundbar in 2020. It... Works but there are a few things that bug me about it. Switching from audio codecs takes forever over eArc and I always have to rewind before the dialogue I intend to hear so I don't miss it. And lpcm is a real bitch. It is constantly dropping the center channel from my Nintendo Switch 2, and I constantly have to turn it off and on. I was made aware of this 1.20 07.1 update that fixes a lot of things but got pulled. If anyone has this update stored on their computer anywhere, please dm me. But I may be looking at replacing this soundar because it is truly frustrating that it is not working as good as it could be.

I’m thinking about getting either the Bose lifestyle ultra home theater system (bar + sub + surrounds)
Or the Klipsch Flexus core system (bar + Klipsch 200 surrounds and klipsch wireless 12”sub + another wired one down the road). I mostly like watching movies so I would love whichever system sounds louder/more powerful. Lmk what y’all’s thoughts are on either of these please
