This Sony Soundbar is my first and I am pleasantly surprised. Connected I put the "bar" on the optical digital cable and the Soundbar in front of my TV. Of course, it does not obscure the image and forms with the TV almost a symbiosis, so that nothing interferes. A wall mounting is also possible (brackets were with me here).
The subwoofer can be placed independently of the Soundbar somewhere in the room, it should be only one outlet near because the power cord has a length of approximately 1.30 m. Otherwise, it connects quickly and smoothly. There is no distortion or delays the sound coincides with the TV picture.
When currently trendy watching football you can hear every ball contact and action blockbusters to be felt in the middle instead of just doing! If the subwoofer directly on the floor, you can even feel each explosion on the feet. Therefore, my advice to all those who still love their neighbor one floor below, and do not want to have an enemy: the sub on a small table or boards underneath - which alleviates's. ;-)
Play music from your tablet or smartphone via Bluetooth works perfectly, but is largely not used by me.
