I was looking for something to have a little more strength in the audio field, as the FS all sound tinny today. Here in particular to assist in "normal" television, so news, reports, etc. Here is noticeable that not all programs comparable sound-but the bottom line is it's an improvement. The disadvantage is that you can not select sound modes; This means that language is sometimes too little highlighted. The volume control is extremely slow and thus sensitively. I would have liked this visual feedback, which does not go with an optical connection. If you otherwise has no way for a real surround system, which is nice here; Movies like Transformers get more pressure in any case.
