Carton imposing but received smoothly. Very easy to connect ... provided you have the appropriate cables (no cable included in the package). Forced to order a separate coaxial cable for the image / audio (nothing came HDMI - my TV ... Yet recent). The sound bar has 4 kinds of possible connections, you just know how to find "his" output (and then select on the remote). When done, but happiness! I have a small room, so the sound bar to me is more than enough for my use. I was able to pair my MBP bluetooth, and the sound comes out of my computer flawless on the bar. Indeed, as noted earlier, the settings are not saved when you turn off and back on the bar. I like much (it eliminates surprises ... I got screwed once launched a different file from the previous, I thought to shake the walls so the sound tore xDD). Finally me I do not mind pressing the +/- volume ever. I love this bar for its color (there fed to black!). Thank you Amazon for this competitive price and delivery on top as always! Attached 2 photos (one is wrong, my apologies!).
