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.

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.

The materials appear to be a combination of plastics and fabric mesh material. The subwoofer is a nice addition because it adds that lower level.

Sound quality is surprisingly good and subwoofer packs a punch as well. The difference between those two bars is night and day, literally as if they are two different things altogether.

This soundbar and subwoofer drastically change the sound, where i can now hear the crispness of dialog and scores. The size of this is perfect and fits really well under my 34 ultrawide on my computer desktop. Yamaha soundbar is a considerable choice ...  Read More

The sound bar's functionality is horrible. This is one of the few disappointing purchases i've made. I'm very dissatisfied.
