Pros and Cons

Pros4

Bar is easy to use and i have actual audible sound! Clarity is great, it's nice and sleek for our 5th wheel camper. More useful eg modes than most—flexibility across media models.

I use it with my tv, because it gives better, clearer sound in a small space. Remote is useful for setup but i expect to never have to use it again now that it's setup. Bought this for our rv.

A sleek design and fits nicely in front of the tv. A much fuller sound. Great bang for your buck!

Clare of assisi (1194-1253), the patron saint of television (designated by pius xii in 1958). Interesting wikipedia entry, interesting woman.

Cons1

The sound quality is ok, but actually not any better than my samsung frame tv speakers. Distorts at volume output > 80% of maximum. Optical input doesn't connect securely or work; neither do the other available sound imputs.

Pros4

The bass ext really adds a solid low end.

The yas 209-bl has great bass and a clear, smooth tone for our living room. It has a subwoofer output to add any sub rather than a prepackaged setup. Bluetooth sub is of heavy quality and sound bar is very long with 2 hdmi and a usb.

Yamaha sound control works with hdmi arc and hdmi cec signals. Set up by downloading the yamaha app and downloading the firmware update in the process. I have a samsung tv, but i stream using a roku.

The audio quality is amazing compared to * built-in tv speakers, but don’t expect it to compete with some cinematic 7. Surround sound. There are multiple sound settings such as tv, movies, music that adjust the sound output for optimum playback.

Cons3

Sounded like static in a tin can. Could not distinguish guitars or riffs on any of the presets. I can't get the controls on the bar or remote to do anything, i have to unplug the bar to shut it off. The info button does nothing.

There's what looks like a wi-fi light on the top. The app is horrible and you expect them to set it up with this app? Still no connection to the iphone. Can't get phone app to work either.

The sound out of the sound bar tends to be very muddy. At this point the app is useless since it can't find the soundbar. No real improvement from the tv's speaker quality.
