Pros and Cons

Pros5

Clear voice and distinct dialogue that's not drowned out by background music. The bar is able to decode surround sound signals even though it doesn't have a bunch of speakers to use with that signal. Clear voice is really good and movie mode is great....  Read More

The sound is good, and the bass is adjustable via remote. While not bose level sound, it packs good rich sound for movies & music in a small package at a fair price. This yamaha is much more powerful and play louder than that bose at half the cost...  Read More

It's small enough to not stick out like a sore thumb. Though the size is compact, the sound is robust. There is better soundbars out there and much more expensive, but for something affordable, with decent sound then this bar will fit the bill.

The sound quality is surprisingly good for the size of the unit. I'm only partial audiophile, but i do have 2 of these and they are decent.

All you have to do is plug the optical cable into the tv outlet on the back of the soundbar. Go to settings on your tv and select optical audio on audio inputs.

Cons2

The sound quality is okay, but the bass is terrible. There's more bass, sure, but there's little clarity and music sounds muffled. The sound bar's functionality is horrible.

Very dissatisfied with yamaha. Save your money and put it towards something nicer" "this is one of the few disappointing purchases!

Pros1

This thing rocks! Series premium sound system has excellent sound, function and crafted well. If you're looking for a system that's wallet friendly, with quality sound, this is it.

Cons3

The subwoofer has plastic top plate that rattles. If i use a streaming app on the smart tv (google tv onboard) with the arc audio return channel it is still out of sync.

The soundbar frequently runs into issues down-mixing. My cellphone plays better sounding audio than this soundbar.

It’s clear they’re more concerned with harvesting user data than they are with building and maintaining a reputable brand that inspires consumer loyalty. Sending item back to the united states is also not an option due the the hefty freight cost.
