Believe it or not but I did read up on how it worked before I spent £800 on it . I also read that it projects sounds off the walls to try create cinema surround but I didn't think it would sound anything like it does . Highly recommend getting one | |

Only if you don't understand how it works. | |

If anyone is remotely interested the soundbar is excellent . It's actually unbelievable how it sounds like things are behind you from one speaker that's in front of u | |

Amazed that Richer Sounds advised you to buy a playbar if you don't have the net at home. | |

I might try and buy a centre speaker for it now i'm thinking about it. Some of the reviews said the speech can be a bit muffled sometimes, which it is. | |

I'm sure you said you replaced that a while back because it broke or something? | |

A good rule of thumb is that soundbars are never worth the money. | |

I ended up buying a bridge and it didn't work so took it back . Am not scratching my head on what to do . Has anyone heard the yamaha ysp 2500? Is it worth the money | |

I'm pretty sure it won't work at all without a network as it requires the app to control it. | |

What was the point of connecting it to your friends router? What happens if you connect the soundbar to the TV with an optical lead? You'll obviously not be able to use the app unless the soundbar and phone are connected to the same network. Whether said network has internet access or not shouldn't make any difference when it comes to app>soundbar connectivity, but obviously a lot of the soundbars features will not work without internet. | |

You will need to either plug it in directly to the router or buy a zone bridge. RS should have explained a bit better by the sound of it! | |

I'm sure you are aware but the optical lead will run from the TV to the soundbar. It should natively play whatever audio would normally be coming out of your TV's speakers. | |

What are you plugging the optical lead into? All it will do is play sound from the device your plugging it into. On order to benefit from all the features you will need a WiFi network in your property. You can have this fairly cheaply without an internet connection but without the net your still surpressing a lot of features. | |

Was shopping on sat and popped into richer sounds and end up coming out with a sonos playbar . I explained I don't yet have internet and just wanted it to play my tv sound to which they informed me it would work with an optical lead . To cut a long story short it doesn't . I took it to my mates and registered it and updated it and it played radio at his when connected via a lead direct to his router . Took it home and still won't work . App says I need to be on same network as the router . |
