My first experience with a device to supplement TV sound. I discovered it's also a great WIFi tuner for online radio streaming! It's a wonderful alternative to my rooftop FM receiver. Sound is perfect and comes with pre-settings for TV, music, etc. A bit tricky to set up, but tech support provides excellent help - very patient and step-by-step assistance. The remote is easy to use, after the setup is complete, and the Yamaha MusicCast app for iOS or the equivalent Samsung device is a marvel of simplicity. There's a wealth of FM radio for streaming on this device. Easy to switch from TV to WiFi "Net" mode with a push of a button. Easy to change the pre-settings from TV program to CD to DVD mode with the push of a button.

This is a great soundbar. the design shape is not ideal but its size allows for bigger speaker that make every note very clear. i would have preferred it slightly lower profile though. the sound quality is great and the MusicCast flexibility, bluetooth in/out, apple air play, and plenty of connections are great. the software side though is less than ideal and hopefully will be updated and work on. the various dsp settings (music, tv program, movie..., clear voice option) are great and the difference is noticeable. a preset though would have been great: when i switch from pandora to tv, if i forget to switch the dsp manually, the sound is not great and vice versa. also the only service really useful with the app is pandora as spotify requires a premium account to allow casting.
