One thing first: a surround system is the Bose Solo not and should not be (I knew well from the outset). It only serves to enhance the TV sounds - so who is a "hell Bass" or "Sound Storm" expects, not even to think about it the custom. The connection is fixed, all Kabe are. Installation takes less than 5 minutes. The large remote Genz is convenient because you can program it all devices and only requires a FB. However, these are also the good things - for which there is the 2 star! The sound is quite an improvement over the thin sound of a flat screen TV's - no more than that, and above all no 450 Euro value! The Bass knob turned up almost no one takes this true. The voices sound tinny. Hidden sounds are now played back what the TV speakers have formally swallowed - but that's about it! Who is a total theater 5.1 fanatics will be disappointed to be so - as the savvy stereo handset. I've tried it, but I'll probably have to put up with to get an acceptable sound out of the box.
