I have my directv and dvd hooked up hdmi to tv and used optical
out of tv to the surroundbar then turned off dolby in both sources
and I must say the sound this thing puts out is great. Remember
your not buying a $3000 sound system

Very impressive. Excellent detail and surprising imaging. Low frequencies are superb for such a compact sub. Remote could be better and bigger. Touch controls on front are very cool.

I got this as a demo item and used it for a few weeks with standard tv. I watched a few movies with it using blue-ray and watched regular tv.
The best part about this item is the lack of wires. It is wireless and that leaves you the option of placing the subwoofer wherever you please. The soundbar packs a punch as well. It goes surprisingly loud for its size. Give some very nice detail. I compared this to monitor 50s from polk audio and the detail is just as good as the monitor 50s. The subwoofer gives more bass that I expected it to, and it put our old theater set-up that we thought was grand to shame.
If I had the need to buy one I am sure that I would in in instant the sound quality is amazing, the output is better than expected and the options are unlimited. We had it wallmounted for a few days, then we had it under the tv, we out it above tv. We moved the subwoofer all over the room and when it was all said and done, it looked as sleek as our tv. In fact only a couple people noticed we had it and asked how our tv sounded so good.
If you are on the edge about this product and not sure if it will just be one of those soundbars. You are wrong. It is not just a soundbar, it is a soundstage packed into a tiny package that is both appealing to look at as it is to listen to. I would buy this 100%. Plus, Polk customer service is the best I have witnessed so if you had any issues rest assured they would take care of them 100%.

Exceeded expectations. Can't believe the great sound out of this product. Have sub about 20ft away from sound bar and it works great. Would most definitely recommend this to a friend.

The sound both instore and in home were very nice..Really good sound for the price..Looks very nice and doesn't stick out like a sore thumb like some other brands..My tv only uses Dolby Digital and it can't be switched off, so this sound bar wouldnt work right for all my equipment..Had to return it and get the 6000.

System sounds great especially for the money. Easy to set-up. Only complaint is the remote. Very cheap and I have to squeeze the end with the battery and then push buttons for volume or channels.
