Very little Dolby Atmos catalog.

Verified Purchase:Yes
They don't seem to have very much dolby atmos music and the quality isn't that great when you're playing it through your TV to your soundbar. The problem with Amazon music unlimited you can only get the Dolby Atmos along with their echo studio speaker but cannot play it on my Dolby Atmos soundbar if you're paying for it you should be able to get it on any device but they do have it with some Sony products and others. I've knew about title for a while and I do like to listen to uncompressed high quality music if that's what you're looking for title would be good if you don't have Dolby Atmos.

I've purchased these type of insurance before but with Best buy reading through some of the reviews sounds like they don't really care about the customers too much when they return it and worst condition after repairing whether it be stereo equipment. Sometimes I just if I buy a TV I go to Amazon and you could buy the insurance there a lot cheaper you don't have to buy the TV at Amazon to do so. Like asurion or Allstate

Receive this on a deal of the day if you have a small counter this will stick out more because it sits lower than ones I've had and replaced the steak knives are like saws I do not use them I have other knives but the Sudoku knife is great and sharp it is like a black grayish with little speckles in it not noticeable but looks good I like the looks but I have to prop underneath something to lift it up higher in the front. It's too bad the steak knives were just not made simply like the Sudoku knife just a flat sharp blade instead of like a serrated Saw.

Revolutionary auto-rotating Adaptive Height Speakers blast sound off the ceiling, delivering completely immersive overhead surround sound. When rotated forward, these speakers provide a wider soundstage and clearer vocals to standard surround and stereo modes, particularly great for music.

4 out of 5Amazing sound, but some half-baked decisions
By nickderrico82
This sound bar beat my expectations on sound quality, it is loud, rich, and the sub packs plenty of bass.
There are some build quality issues and quality of life issues, some which could be fixed via a firmware update. First, the wall mounting system is terrible. There are two little brackets that you have to place perfectly, as the mounting holes are so small it leaves no room for error. Second, there is a long 3-5 second gap in audio as the sound bar figures out what format the audio source is (i.e. stereo, Dolby, DTS), meaning you will miss 3-5 second of dialogue if you pause a program because it needs to see what format the signal is sending. Third, the Google Assistant integration is half baked; with my setup, whenever I say "Ok Google" to any device in my house. it lowers the volume of my sound bar, and there is no option to disable this. And finally, having cryptic cues of colored lights on the sound car in order to determine status isn't a great experience.
Overall I would still recommend this, it's bang for buck is amazing, but compromises, half baked software, and bizarre UX chooses were made.

Your remote will fix that
August 9, 2022
In the settings on the app and the remote the Aux Va is for the voice assistant it could be set to off Bluetooth wired or both go in and set it to off if you do not want the sound bar to respond to it. Also you must have added the feature to your Alexa app on that device to be linked with the soundbar you could take it off that way also but I would just go into the remote or the app and turn off the Aux VA that means auxiliary voice also as for the lights on the sound bar I had a Vizio sound bar for 5 years that was similar and I found it helpful to change settings in the manual tells you all about it or you don't have to pay attention to it just make sure when you do it through the remote or the app just point the remote at the sound bar when you hit okay or right they're not cryptic if you do volume up on center speaker the lights will go up if you push okay on surround on or off the center lights will go off which is off and they'll go on when they're on. Just look in the manual and you'll figure it out without the lights you can turn them off also in the remote and just use the app and you'll be able to see all the numbers in the app.

By Str8whiskey
I dont feel comfortable recommending this product. I was using a quiet place 2 to setup the atmos effect and I got a random pop from the speakers. While choosing an app to use, i get a blown speaker sound from the center channel. Sometimes whe turning in the tv, I get no sound from the system, i have to turn it off & on again. The atmos effect has to be manually adjusted,in my opinion, for there flagship product, it should have a built-in sensor to figure put speaker placement & height adjustment. I believ the sony soundbars have this.

Dolby.com tells you where to mount rear speakers.
August 10, 2022
I've had my Vizio Elevate for almost 2 weeks if you have Atmos being sent to the sound bar and the side rotating speakers are set to auto they will elevate when Atmos is put to them. One way to get Atmos on is having a fire TV stick Max setting settings for best and plug it into the sound bar input one. Play the movie The Tomorrow war that is on free to watch with prime video and you will see those speakers turn up I have a 4K Sony Blu-ray player that plays Atmos plugged in directly to the sound bar input too. There are a lot of settings whether it be your TV even some people who buy the Sony Blu-ray you have to turn off multi-sound in the settings for it to play Atmos. If your TV is older like mine it does not play Atmos but with a new Roku update I noticed it has the pass through and set to auto on the digital audio setting it will send at most also on the prime Video app on the Roku TCL TV to the sound bar and raise those outer cylinders up I've had another Vizio sound bar for 5 years it only had DTS and Dolby digital This one sounds great when the atmos kicks in and I'm playing Jurassic Park 4K on my Sony it blows me away you were like in the movie not watching it. So to get the best out of your soundbar I would search where there is Atmos streaming a lot don't advertise it but you can Google it and when you're playing it even if it's a ultra high-def movie it may only stream Dolby digital Plus which is a compressed format of Dolby Atmos the speakers will not go up but it'll sound okay. One thing I exceptionally like about this sound bar is when playing music best with CD is going to the settings on the remote and put it in dual mode and it will mimic the rear speakers stereo like the front it sounds so much better than my old 5-year-old sound bar that just gave a surrounding effect that I did not like and would turn the rears off. The only problem I have occurred with this sound bar is when I use the volume up and down my TV volume goes into volume increments at a time For example 2,4,6,8,10 instead of 1,2,3,4,5 When I turn the sound bar off the TV goes to normal volume levels when going up and down I called Vizio and they escalated it and I'll get a call back but a lot of people talk about issues and I don't believe they even looked in the manual like center speaker ain't loud enough turn up the volume on that through the setting. Subwoofer too loud turn it down. As for your pop and your speakers your TV could be set on the wrong setting in the audio if I would change mine the Dolby digital Plus on my old sound bar it would pop in the sound bar cuz I don't have Dolby digital Plus and that sound bar. Also if you have $120 Hertz TV your best running all your equipment to the TV first and then to the sound bar The sound bar although it is EArc it only has 60 Hz pass through so I would do that or change your HDMI cable to a 2.1 cable that handles 48 GB on the arc/earc
That could solve some problems. But I can see through a lot of other reviews that if if people aren't familiar with electronics much they can be overwhelmed not saying you are. Just trying to help even though I know a lot about electronics I've made some big mistakes myself like not having the right HDMI cable pick one up and see it says Amazon high speed and it only does 10 GB instead of the 18 I needed that cost me about 50 bucks getting a upgraded 4K player that I didn't need When the same 4K Blu-ray player only an open box cheaper would have worked if I had the right cable in. Hope I've helped

By marka
All in all, Geek squad could not fix issue, and did not provide a 1:1 replacement either.
Purchased this with Geek Squad warranty for an LG Sound-bar that ended up having a well document issue online, and they could not fix and were unable to swap for a 1:1 like for like option of any other brand. Instore agents did however give me an in store full refund which was appreciated, but defeats the point of this warranty. They offered to exchange for anything else of the same purchased price, which is in direct contrast to the wording of “MSRP on receipt at time of purchase regardless of sale price” literature on Geek Squads warranty terms. So worthless warranty unfortunately, avoid buying.

Atmos will work.
August 14, 2022
Just a suggestion if your TV doesn't handle Atmos set it on passthrough The audio or hook up a 4k Fire TV stick Max and hook it directly to HDMI 1 on your soundbar. And play Jack Ryan on prime Video and they will go up and you'll be blown away. I have a Sony 4K x800 Blu-ray player and many 4K movies and they go up plus you're getting the best sound and video that way. A lot of streaming plays there video in Dolby digital Plus which is a compressed version of Atmos. Just think with a 4K Blu-ray player one disc could be 100 GB while streaming at most. is 2 GB they're cutting a lot out that way so your data won't go skyrocketed and ISP charge more. Once you get Atmos you'll be blown away. Plus you can hit the info button on the remote and it'll tell you from the speakers what audio is being transmitted. Also make sure you use the correct wires 2.0 that can handle 18 GB per second if you're using old 1.4 cables it will not work same with 4K movie watching on a 4K player I've made that mistake. Hope I've helped.

By TBBR
Good: attractive, high quality materials. Novel effect (rotating speakers) works well and makes a difference for Atmos. Surround sound effects are great-have upward firing as well. Sub is big, though and the surrounds are wired so plan accordingly. Plenty of inputs Bluetooth works great, even analog 3.5mm, was able to hook up my turntable. Remote works great nice little screen, minimalist but intuitive. Bad: many unsuccessful attempts to hook up WiFi. Not necessary (don’t use Chromecast) but, need connection to update software! Display on bar too minimalist for my taste (have to learn the light patterns).

App usage
August 22, 2022
I notice within the last month the problems that you were having is also having with me and a lot of other people but to access with the app something that has always work for me is pull the plug power out of the sound bar and restart it and the app always connects then you could do an update They did one update recently The only problem I have with this sound bar is the remote volume on the Vizio remote works great but working with my TCL TV isn't quite accurate I don't know why this is I've changed 3 HDMI art cables but my other Vizio I had for 5 years worked fine 5.1 SB4051-CO plus the volume increments were like 12345. Threw me off a lot when I seen the Vizio elevate due 246810. It took two calls to Vizio customer service before somebody told me that's how it is. Bewilders me why they did that but sometimes I try to lower my volume to two and it shows that it was muted and then I go up and it stays muted and then it starts at 6 volume I hope they figure this out in a update but it sounds to me like it isn't having full CEC communication properly.

Sounds like when you set your brew strength or if it has not been changed it is at 1 to 4 cup setting maybe. Double check that should correct and make a full pot.

4 out of 5Need more coffee?
By DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
This pot is perfect for a small office of coffee drinkers. At the typical 12 cups we would be out in 30 minutes for the morning rush. Now with this 18 cup pot we are essentially making a pot and a half each time. The other often asked question is, “how old is this pot.” Well, with the built in digital timer it is easy to tell just how long. By default it is set to 2 hours, but can extend up to 4 hours in which it will automatically turn off the burner. But, from the moment it is done brewing it starts counting up to show you just how long it has been there. The water reservoir is clear and easy to see just how much water has been added, as we usually use gallon jugs to fill the reservoir anyways.
The only downside I have about this maker so far is that it is a bit messy. Every time you remove the pot a few drips of liquid drip onto the burner. The inside of the brewer also remains covered in moisture, even days after last brewed. Plus the basket is still about the standard size of a 12 cup coffee pot, but if you follow the directions of one scoop per cup you would max out the strainer. The one picture attached is only 14 scoops with the included scoop. Mentioning the scoop, I like that it is attached to the maker, but the back of it is a strange place to put it. I was searching all through the box for it till I realized it was back there. Also makes it awkward to put it back as this is a big machine to reach around.
Overall, this is a decent coffee maker for making a large amount of coffee in about 14 minutes. Easy to use, easy to read display makes it simple enough for anyone to brew as much coffee as you fill in the reservoir. It just requires a little keeping up with it and drying it off after use.

I always unplug it from the outlet after brewing for safety reasons. After 3 years my old Bella went out on me and trip the circuit breaker in the kitchen and now will not brew a cup of coffee but still lights up.

5 out of 5Even better picture than the 2020 55” series 6
By Gregg
I had an excellent experience with the 55” TCL 6 series so purchased the 65” version. I think it has a better picture due to the mini LED display configuration. My only issue was I didn’t pay attention and bought the Google version and not the Roku version which I would have preferred as all our other TVs are Roku affiliated. I find the Google navigation clunky compared to the Roku navigation.

Three HDMI ports connect two 4K devices to the TV with eARC making setup clean and simple.
Is it possible to order extension cables for the rear speakers that go beyond 25 feet?
They are RCA connections if you buy a very slim line RCA it will fit into the speakers or by some extension adapters that are thinner and they will fit in there. So you can add RCA connections at the sub but that plug is proprietary and go further in a little bit but like I said if you use a slimline RCM meaning the plug around the plug is thin I think it will work or by an extension adapter that will work also to add on more wire best thing is just get a female to a male extension slimline at the plug and you'll be good to go just make sure you plug in the right one for Atmos upfiring speaker.

How does the sub connect wirelessly to the soundbar? Is it Bluetooth, rf, or some other medium?
If you look in their specs you will see the band 802.11N that is a Wi-Fi bandwidth signal. When you do updates on the soundbar it connects to whatever you set it at when you set the system up in my instance I use the 5 GHz band on my router not my 2.5 gigahertz I haven't noticed any problems with signals going to my subwoofer or the 5 years I've owned another Vizio that was 7 years old the model. Hope that answers your question or anybody else's

Only @ Best BuyThis Rocketfish~ RF-HTS2815 surge protector offers 8 outlets, plus coaxial and phone line protection, to help defend your connected devices against power spikes and surges. Two USB ports make it easy to charge a tablet or 2 cell phones.
Will this help protect my whirlpool washing machine?
I would suggest getting a GE one outlet surge protector from it different store that I have purchased for my washing machine because a surge put it out on an older model I had. All surge protectors over time lose their protection it's designed that way but the GE for about $10 has a built-in alarm that when the unit comes to end of life it will let you know with the alarm to replace it I feel very confident with that GE this overpriced rocket fish is old technology the GE for your washer I've read by electricians that have taken it apart and it has the best clamping voltage. The GE sells them in two packs to do not get the Belkin brand those are catching fire. Plus I would not use Belkin ever again just with some old technology they had and their unit that caused me a lot of trouble with my internet service provider coaxial cable going in and out reduce my speeds tremendously because of the old technology they put in it. Hope I've helped.

How many joules would be needed to protect a refrigerator in a garage? 19 cu. ft
Surprisingly refrigerators do not draw much wattage I have an old cheapy plugged into an outlet and handling the toaster refrigerator etc. Some refrigerators not sure on what brand have built-in surge protectors so you cannot add on an additional one to it check with the manufacturer it will be in your owner's manual. If it does not I purchased a GE 1 outlet appliance surge protector and I use it on my washing machine because I lost out on my washing machine from a surge to know this because my microwave search protector breaker went off at the same time. The GE surge protector comes with a built-in alarm The alarm goes off when the item has lost its life from surg is overtime all surge protectors have an end of life but the alarm will go off to let you know that that has happened and then you get another one. I've read through reviews from electricians that talk about that being a great clamping voltage so I've purchased one for my washing machine and also gifted to my sister for her brand new one. The other big store do not buy Belkin a lot of them are catching fire and I would not buy another Belkin product cuz a lot of it is old technology like this unit that only has internet speeds through the coaxial for your modem at 10/100 you could also if you really want to protect your refrigerator buy a UPS power backup supply I have an older cyberpower 1500 VA model that I have all my electronics on including gigabit coaxial internet input with my modem some people I've read use them for their refrigerators They don't draw very much wattage but if you want to protect your food for a couple hours it will work. Hope I've helped.

Can this handle 1500w being pulled constantly?
If you're using it for say an air condition unit with 1500 Watts I would not use it with this GE sells a one outlet appliance surge protector with a built-in alarm when the surge has an end of life eventually all do have an end of life and alarm will go off to let you know you need to replace it. Check with the other big store. You could get two for $17 I use one on my washing machine. For all your electronics I would not use this outdated item the coaxial input only handles 10 /100 you could purchase a UPS backup supply power for just over $100 for all your electronics I have one from cyberpower that covers everything and gigabit speeds through the coaxial port when you have a power outage there is an even a flicker in my TV or electronics and offers clean power to change outputs when there are spikes in voltage. This is overpriced and old technology. Belkin does the same thing at less than half the price and their coaxial input cause me hours of figuring out why I was only getting a 100 MBps from my higher than that internet at the time. Hope I've helped somebody not by this old junk.

What is the response time of this?
Get a backup power UPS I have a cyberpower when there is a power outage it is instant there is no guarantee on these surge protectors they can so much surge and then they go bad over time and try and collect on the insurance which people think they feel safe about it's a gimmick because you have to send the surge protector to them and they will inspect it and say it did its job even though your TV is fried electricity will find a way The UPS I bought that is a cyberpower 1500 VA handles everything I have TV modem lights sound bar and gives a clean power meaning any spikes in your power which happen often won't make it to your equipment when the power goes out you won't even see your TV flicker because it's backup power cyberpower also told me that the coaxial input will handle anything you put through it and I get gigabit speeds through it this unit only gives you 10/ 100 it's old technology and they keep making them if people will buy them. Hope I've helped I ran into the same problem when I try to put my modem through a Belkin brand that the company even when I contacted them gave me wrong information as to coaxial input handling. If you don't put your coaxial in and out with a modem and your cable line from outside gets hit by lightning and can get to your equipment mine works great with a UPS.

This TCL LED TV has Dolby Vision HDR for improved contrast and a more lifelike, detailed display.

Get TCL's IPQ engine app for all that own you can get it at Google Play store and Apple store doesn't work with all phones but was really easy to do it shows what your TV was calibrated at and if it's better or not I did mine about three times and got it to the best.

We~re bringing Quantum Dot Color to the people. Enjoy over one billion colors, without worrying about how many commas are on the price tag. You~re welcome. The U6G also has 4K resolution, Dolby Vision HDR and Full Array Local Dimming Zones. Sounds like science, looks like a way more expensive set. Especially with a quad-core processor managing all the algorithms that add up to more colors, more precision and more ooohhh.
My new 65U6G Hisense TV will not allow me to change the setting from TV speaker to ARC even though my soundbar is connected to the HDMI ARC port? The soundbox works fine with my old TV. Why won’t my sound bar connect to the TV?
Go into the settings and check the HDMI arc settings it could be set to the wrong settings for your sound bar and won't have sound out it. I like to put mine on PCM so this way on my Vizio sound bar everything will play and surround sound on my 5.1 system. Sometimes I change it with movies only.
