Revainrating 1 out of 5

It's either broken or it's absolute junk and the product support has no idea!

Update 6/10/2021 HDMI inputs are still not working and support is basically saying they shouldn't be working which I think means the support people are not aware of it. If you have read all the reviews here you will realize that the 5 star reviewers are people who don't use the HDMI inputs on the soundbar and bad reviews like mine really want to use them. ============================================== = === ========== For beginners I have had two previous soundbars with this TV and cable box and they have worked great. I was glad to get it and if you make it that everything works (practice desperately every time you turn it on), sound and options are very good, but if you don't care about one of the three HDMI inputs, you're out of luck. Trust me, I've tried all sorts of HDMI setups, with and without ARC, and none of them work reliably with my Samsung 7 smart TV. Not my cable box, not my ROKU stick on any input. The TV always knows it's connected to MagniFi but tells me there's no data from the source whether I select HDMI 1 (cable box) or 2 (Roku). It's weird, but it's not. Sometimes skip the video but don't capture the audio it should or even skip it. connects. After that everything is fine---until I turn it off and on again. to put it bluntly the lights on the soundbar respond correctly to the buttons on the remote control.
