What's great about it: Hmmm, maybe its size?
What's not so great: Doesn't work consistently.
OK, your gonna love this.. I turn on the TV and sound bar together which are hooked together with and HDMI cable in the ARC ports and the sound bar starts up and immediately goes to Opt-1. I then have to use the input on the SB remote to get it back to ARC. Then the sound keeps going on and off. This happens repetitively. I can press the mute button on the SB remote twice and the sound comes back on. This happens whether I'm watching live TV or the DVR.
So I try the phone number suggested in the Toshiba tech support and that number is for projector support only, which they don't support any longer so after they tell you that they disconnect. Then I tried another support phone number on the first page of there support website and its disconnected. Finally I called a 3rd phone number and got someone live. His solution was for me to turn on the TV...yep that's right. He said I needed to turn on the TV. He actually suggested this 3 times. I had to ask him if he was teasing me as I couldn't believe it. Then he said I needed to double check to make sure the cable was plugged in properly on the TV and the SB. Sounded reasonable and it was. So then he said he needed to read the manual and would get right back to me. Ummmm, ok. I read the manual already. In fact I had it open on the webpage as I was speaking to him. So I was like OK and he put me on hold......15 minutes later he hung up.
So I call back again and after 15 minutes I get a lady on the line and after I explain the issues she says "I'm sorry but you've reached laptop support, I don't know anything about sound bars. If you call back tomorrow maybe someone will be here that knows about them." Ahhhhhh...customer service spectacular.
So I connect with Best Buy via phone. I call the number listed in the Reward Zone website for Silver Premier members and they put me through to the Geek Squad. The message there says that I have a wait time of less than 5 minutes. So twenty minutes later I hang up and try again. Currently I just surpassed 15 minutes of hold time on the second call....
I think I'm just gonna take this SB back and not purchase any more Toshiba products in the future. I can say that I expected the shabby treatment from the Toshiba company but was a bit taken aback by the lack of response from Best Buy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Operating Toshiba Channel Soundbar system?

We bought an open box Toshiba 2.1 Channel Soundbar System with 6-1/2 Wireless Subwoofer at Best Buy and it came with no instructions. We have it hooked up but how do you make it work with the remote control? Thank you.
You need to turn in the CEC option in your TV settings. Then you need to pair the sound bar with the TV . This is a pretty easy thing to do. You might find the response sluggish when adjusting the volume but if you use the SB remote it will work with better response.
