****Updated after troubleshooting direct from Cosoos. I was initially frustrated that the HDMI arc didn't allow volume control from the TV. That was one of the reasons I bought it. Apparently it's a CEC function, not an arc function. Aside from the original issue, this sounds really great. I like that it is separate and has left and right channels. I had to rethink my setup, but I was able to use the universal remote to control both the TV and the sound. It's definitely better than a receiver, and the number of inputs and the fact that it comes with all the different cables and doesn't require separate purchases is a huge plus. For this version it's 5 and adding cec to the next version would make it 10 and I would buy it again.
