I purchased this product because they were sold out of the SONY one that I wanted. I am pleasantly surprised. This sound bar with the combo of the wireless sub-woofer has great sound! The Blu-tooth works good but the device has to be pretty close to the system to work effectively. It has 2 HDMI inputs as well as 2 Optical inputs. all my devices sound great on this including my Xbox, Blu Ray player, and Cable TV. Gets very loud without any noise distortion. I don't generally need to turn it past 25-30 for max awesomeness, and it can reach up to 50. The sub-woofer is great because it is controlled by the bar. You can adjust the bass as well as the woofer volume. The remote is very simple to use as well. I recommend this product to anyone that wants a great sound system without the hassle of setting up a 5.1 system.

I've had this for about 2 months, the sub stopped working last night. I tried all the troubleshooting tips, even swapped cables and moved the whole thing to another room; it's dead. Setup was easy, the bar found the sub, the ARC features worked great with my TV, all was well - till the sound bar cycled on with the TV but didn't play. The signal was going from TV to sound bar, but nothing came from the sound bar. I had to cycle the sound bar off/on to get sound to start. And bluetooth works well, so long as you don't touch the bluetooth device - and it is less than 2 feet from the sound bar. Sound quality was pretty good. I really like the features, just hate the problems. This will be my last Toshiba product!

After a month or so a high pitch squeal has begun to sound from my sound bar, initially i thought it may be the cable box but it occurs on all HDMI inputs with my PS3 or PC connected as well. I changed cables and the only thing left to change is the soundbar. I wouldn't buy this, I've only had it for 4 months and its already playing up.

I also purchased this to bt music to and its useless for that because its cuts out constantly. It should power back up when the audio signal is received again also. If none of that is important to you then go for it.

I bought this soundbar for use with my Toshiba TV and I am quite happy with the sound quality. It is, however, the most annoying electronic component that I own. While it is nice that it powers down by itself when there is no audio input, it would be nice for it to power itself back up when audio input returns! This is the only audio component that I have ever seen that forgets its settings when you turn it off. And since my uVerse remote is incompatible with this unit, I need to keep both remotes handy to restore the audio settings.

Right from the start we were only able to connect using audio cables, the HDMI wouldn't work. We kept it anyway and then 2 wks later we began hearing a high pitched whirring sound and then there was no sound at all. Also as earlier posters said the BT cuts out frequently when using a moving iphone. We will be seeking a refund!
