Expensive but distinct sound improvement,

Although in possession of a full 5.1. Surround sound system, although I did not want to use the "normal" Watching television every I built on the duration of the thin sound of the TV set (Philips LCD older) speaker was then not enough. By chance, I could hear the live Boso Solo 15 TV system for consumer electronics in one of the major markets and was nevertheless surprised about the rich sound.

Although I assume that in the current in-store demonstration of the sound was again fined in addition, you have clearly realized that the sound is already more powerful and stronger.

After long deliberation, after all, we're not talking about three Euro eighty, I have decided then to me this sound system to order on Amazon. If it is then not fit in real life, you indeed have the possibility of return.

The delivery took place in its original box without outer packaging, by DHL. The system is equipped with everything you need to connect. All cables, could find use were settled. Exemplary.

The connection is as simple as described. If you still know how to use the TV speakers off (at the beginning I left them to switch back and forth to be able to actively listen to the difference) and becomes friends with the universal remote control, all is well.

The operating instructions, particularly with regard to the universal remote control, unhelpful. If you try to program them so, or to do with the hardware known, as it is written there, you sit in a hundred years. Small but important information such as the Save the device code by the volume plus key not specified therein (or I missed it). Here, however, the unanswered questions at Amazon I have helped.

The remote control is quite large, m. E. but still handy and functional. The control of all major TV functions without any problems, even a Sky receiver can be operated. For some devices, it zickt around something, but I can live with that, if each device can not be operated above. Sometimes a second remote control is also more practical, as the fumbling with a universal remote control, where you then have to constantly switch. But this is ultimately a matter of taste.

On the other hand, one must also see that you can use the universal remote control must as loud and soft is only to regulate it. Anyone who wants to use his usual equipment remote controls, then must take the hand only for loud and soft, these large remote control. Then it is impractical.

For sound system itself is not much to say. Operation simple. Bass control via potentiometer on the back (which I can not notice any huge differences in the sound). The pity is that there is no way to adjust the sound still (eg more highs). Here you have to take what comes out of the Lautspechern out.

For me, something impractical that all states over the small LED on the front panel, or via beeps are displayed. When one of color vision has slight shortcomings, it is difficult to distinguish whether the now light up in green or orange. Since I had found a small display practical.

If the device is set to turn on automatically when the source unit is turned on, you do not have much use here yes. Therefore you can live with the LED.

The sound improvement is palpable. First, "aim" the speakers now directly to the / the front seat occupant, while the built-in LCD TVs speakers are indeed built more down. I feel that after one makes the TV not as loud as before, because the speakers are indeed now directed to the audience. The soundscape is also significantly wider and more resolute. The bass boost this "box" is clearly audible.

BUT: The sound has to do with space in the sense of surround nothing, absolutely nothing. Anyone who believes that here now suddenly have a spatial sound perception and his blockbuster "to let them fly around your ears" acoustically, should leave it alone.

Clear all sounds with this sound system slightly "wider" (alone by the side speakers) and voluminous, but physically in any way. Here comes no sound from behind, or so. Only from the front.

Like other, similar device sheep sound, I can not judge. The sound of the Bose sound system but you can not compare it with the sound quality surround speakers with hundreds of watts. Who only wants to improve the sound of his flat LCD TVs and who is not afraid of the price, can safely access my opinion here.

I would buy this part to give it back. For future TV new purchases you just have to see that the new television with his foot still fit it then just.
