Highly advanced spatial algorithms faithfully replicate the sonic characteristics
that occur in an ideal 5.1-channel environment. DVD playback is enhanced
by expanding the 2-channel environment. When combined with Dolby Pro Logic
II processing, any high quality stereo source is transformed into true-to-life,
multi-channel surround sound. No need to purchase extra speakers, wires
or speaker stands to appreciate room-filling sound.

Easy to assemble & set up - the only problem I have is that the wireless woofer makes noise now & then. I could not find a similar product for the price anywhere else.
Great product for the price - does have some issue

Bought this item based on reviews and price.
First - the issues:
When I attempted to connect this unit to my TV coax digital audio - I found that the PCM mode my TV supplied was incompatible with the soundbar. There are no options to set the coax input to anything but the default. My workaround was simply to use the AV audio inputs.
Wireless - The wireless subwoofer had disconnect reconnect issues. After doing some research I found the SB uses 2.4Ghz to connect. I have two 2.4Ghz wireless networks at home - both N and G. Even after moving my network channels around - I still had problems with the wireless sub-woofer - much like the problems when using a 2.4Ghz wireless telephone when there is a wireless network. I called support and they offered to send me a new unit to try but also told me they have seen issues with the wireless with something as mundane as a ceiling fan in the same room.
Sound - the sound excellent for price
Price is unbeatable!

I did extensive research and web surfing and ultimately purchased this system. The price vs.feature point is unbeatable. The deciding factor for me was the wireless subwoofer.You don't get this in any other comparably priced system. This system provides all the sound you could need although if your looking for the true surround sound experience, this falls short. Use mine in the bedroom with a 32'' Flat Screen TV and it's terrific. One caveat though, you have to turn the system off each night otherwise the subwoofer emits strange pops and grunts all night long. When you do turn off the system, standby, the LED Off indicator is blue and extremely bright. Overall, I'd buy again for the application I'm using it for. However, for family movie night I believe there are other more powerful systems that would do better.
GOOD PRODUCT

Speakers were easy to set up, took just minuites to complete. The quality for a small room was outstanding. Would not use in a larger room, but for a small bed room or office they are perfect. Well worth the money.
Dolby Pro Logic II
Improved version of Dolby Pro-Logic for music and movies. With a more intelligent
matrix decoder, it is suitable for both stereo and surround-encoded sources.
It offers “bass management” as well as the option of incorporating
“width,” “dimension” and “panorama” controls.
What Is USB 2.0?
USB 1.1 was great when it was introduced almost a decade ago. But
the newer USB 2.0 transfers data dramatically faster - up to 40 times
quicker. Plus, USB 2.0 provides additional bandwidth for multimedia and
storage applications, which are growing larger every year. Also to your
advantage is the fact that USB 2.0 is forward and backward compatible with
USB 1.1, which means that cables and connectors made for the original USB
configuration will also work perfectly in a USB 2.0 port, though some newer
devices are specifically designed for USB 2.0. It is always a good
idea to verify the version of USB supported by each device you want to use.
