Have to TVs Sony KDL-46EX505 by the Soundbar in packaging existing HDMI cable connected (HDMI ARC must be available as a port when TV !!!!!) there and see, the TV has all the same recognized by itself and the Sound ran after about 30s on the soundbar. A few small adjustments, such as the manufacturer's type (the Soundbar is manufacturer open and it must be entered via code according to instructions of the manufacturer), the synchronicity of the switching on and off the TV with the sound bar together or the registration of the Soundbar into the HDMI device list of Sony TV then had to be made. The Soundbar ie switching on and off, volume, certain settings such as After running only with the remote control of Sony TV, etc. the sound environment (Movie, Game, Music, Bass, Voice, 3D sound etc.) must exclusively through the but be done remote from the Soundbar otherwise everything goes on the TV- remote control. And that was very important for me - just a remote control - which works only on HDMI connection. The sound is awesome for a 2.1 system. It may treble, bass, and the subwoofer from 0 to 6 are changed. The subwoofer rumst at 3 already enormous. Otherwise, you can attach all the sticks, external hard drives with music and play immediately on the Soundbar via USB. I like most about the Sounbar that this hangs only on an Internet-enabled TV as my Sony (without a lot of clutter), one on youtube and can easily play music + video. So all people have the Sound + Video experience. But please remember, it is a 2.1 - conditioning!
