Does what it says on the tin - if you air looking for something better than the TV speakers but don't want the full home cinema thing this is a great alternative – amazing sound!
iPod dock is a brilliant bonus and keeps your iPod charged too! - Bad points:
- Could not get the optical cable connection to work without terrible sound interference but this might have been due to a faulty optical cable. Don't let this put you off as their are two other connection options to your TV available,

David, Cowes Music listener
- Good points:
- Looks and sounds good.
- Bad points:
-
If you use the optical digital input as recommended the soundbar will not work with the HD channels as it does not have a suitable decoder built into it.
There is no way of knowing how the tone controls have been set.
