Pros and Cons

Pros2

The new remote is probably the best remote control i’ve seen in a surround system. The backlit keys are also brighter so controlling it in the dark is a breeze. the menu utilizes the small led panel on the speaker strip to scroll through settings.

Ghz is the recommended frequency for a 5-fi router. Ghz is the most common 4.

Cons5

This soundbar still roars and it is far better than this nakamichi. This system lacks any directional audio detail. The center speaker is far inferior to my tv speaker and i am constantly shutting it off.

System has sync issues from bar to both subs. The subs crackle randomly even when no audio is being played. Bluetooth subs and side speakers lose connection for about 2 seconds.

After months with this unit, it is just unsatisfactory. That is why you see so many people trying to dump this garbage. Not one of the 3. Poor execution nakamichi.

The bass is the biggest disappointment. I'm very glad i returned it and went with the sony htz9f.

If i pause a movie it will take 3 to 7 seconds to get sound again after hitting play. If i fast forward or rewind the movie it takes 5 to 10 seconds for the sound to come back on. When you rewind 10 seconds it is pointless.

Pros3

This checks all of those boxes. Looks good. The sound is decent. We are pleased with them.

Has bars for mounting on wall which is great. Came with an hdmi cable, optical cable (didn't use) and a power cord. Works with universal phillip s remote and with hdmi arc function turns on - off with remote.

Music sounds crisp and crystal clear. Audible separation is clear, bass is adequate.

Cons1

The problem with using it wirelessly is that roku uses a proprietary audio protocol. Also, the remote signal is weak. Called tcl support and a very nice lady tried for 30 minutes to correct the problem.
