Thanks for this video. I'm planning on buying it just for audio on my computer but at the beginning of the video, I already dislike the loudness. It's not enough for its price.

[@leorodriguez9651]

It can get way louder it has some eqs and can be volumed up higher

Hello, new subscriber here, recently bought a 65 LG smart tv and looking for a budget home theater about less than P20k. What can you suggest or recommend? Came across Ultimea Poseidon D60 dolby atmos 5.1 and D70 7.1 from US. Are you familiar with them?

[@Zonker66]

Hey, just saying... the bit at the beginning and the great sound? I'm listening an TV speakers and I can't hear what you can... that's kinda why I'm here.

[@iiiiajaxiiii]

I mean at this point wouldnt it be smaller package to just have the left right and center? with all that extra plastic gap between them lol. It jerks my chain that they got rid of theater in a box for these crappy soundbars IMO .. Thanks for the vid! And to answer your question, yes the enclosure for the sub is a reused enclosure and has been used since early 2000s.

Good sound s40r

Hi, fantastic video. Just have two questions: 1. Will the rear speakers function as surround when connected through bluetooth 2. Does the receiver have to align with the sub when connected or as long as it’s with a certain radius, it should work. Thanks and I’ve been looking at this speakers for awhile now

[@GlennThoughts]

Bluetooth can only carry stereo due to bandwidth. For the subwoofer, it's physically connected to the soundbar and ports such as hdmi are also in the back of the sub woofer not the soundbar.

[@haivu-ph6sv]

@@GlennThoughtsdo u mean that we can not play 5.1 sound movie with this system by bluetooth connection? Only get 5.1 sound with hdmi or optical?

[@i_vanni]

How did you pass the cable of the surround inside the support? Nice video btw

[@GlennThoughts]

I cut and spliced it 😅

[@i_vanni]

@@GlennThoughts how? There is a tutorial? 🥹

[@VasanthKumar-bn4cj]

Super work

[@jm-us3qy]

May delay settings po ba for surround rears? At pwede po ba adjust volume ng center channel , since may times na mababa volume ng center sa mga 5.1 movies?

[@user-uc1ze6lv5n]

What is call the stand of your right and left surround speaker

[@GlennThoughts]

It's just some old sony speaker metal stand

[@TimePass-ol8yd]

Sir I'm having 1 Ques. If dolby content is played, are the dialogues coming from only center speaker or also from the rear speakers ?? Pls Reply 😊

[@GlennThoughts]

Center only

[@TimePass-ol8yd]

Thank you 😊❤

[@marts5142]

How long is the surround rear cables? Im concerned that it cant reach the sides of my Listening area

[@GlennThoughts]

Its very long actually.

[@marts5142]

@@GlennThoughts thanks. but actually im leaning more into buying samsungs hwq600c based fron your reviews. I think its better to have a quality 3.1.2 system with future expandability rather than a subpar 5.1 system. thank you for your reviews! they were great

[@DoNvju]

What is the length sound bar in centimeters? Please

[@gerzeg]

90

[@TheWarlordNinja]

Do you have a warranty just in case for error malfunction ?

[@GlennThoughts]

Of course it has warranty

[@gioo6010]

Do you recomend it ?

[@GlennThoughts]

If its on sale yes spunds is amazing. But if you have money go for something that has dolby atmos for sure

[@gioo6010]

@@GlennThoughts dolby atmos is the only thing that is stopping me to buy it and tbh i don't know what sounbar or home theater with dolby atmos to buy with the same range of price as the ht-s40r

[@gioo6010]

@@GlennThoughts if my samsung tv cu8000 has an hdmi eARC but don't support dolby atmos it means that a sound bar or home theater with dolby atmos will work even if its the tv don't support dolby atmos ?

[@Dominater-tc3ed]

if you play audio from a non-5.1 source will the rears produce continous sound ?.anyway good video

[@GlennThoughts]

Yes. Kinda stereo but with the rears at the same time. Thanks!

[@DCA307]

So it isn’t wireless at all?

[@GlennThoughts]

Rear speakers connects connects to the main unit wirelessly hence wireless

[@AnishShanbhag]

Sony s40r or lg s65tr or samsung b67e ? For movies

[@GlennThoughts]

Samsung

[@tonythomas2753]

Samsung b67e

[@AnishShanbhag]

​@@GlennThoughts​​@tonythomas2753 n what about s500rf ? Is it better then samsung b670 or can go with sony s500rf?

[@ZEDRIYON]

How is the bass ? Dolby atmos or Dolby Digital?

[@GlennThoughts]

Dolby Digital only. Powerful bass. Perfect for home office or small room

Bought this last November it's a horrible sound bar you have to crank it just to hear the dialogue I got rid of it but before that I purchased 5.0 speakers and connected them to it.lil difference not much but got rid off it.ended up buying Samsung q700b 3.1.2 sound bar and separate 2.0.2 rears making it a 5.1.4 even putting the volume on 12 it's plenty enough that Sony had to put it on 40/50 just to hear it.even if I put the Samsung on 30/40 it shakes the furniture that Sony could even shake my penis.get rid waist of money
