My problem with it is that every few weeks for no reason the hdmi connection from my Samsung tv randomly stops sending audio to the sound bar and it's a stupid process to reset audio settings on the tv and my Roku to make sound come out of the sound bar again. Literally nothing changes and it randomly takes a dump. In fact, happened last night when it was working 2 hours before. For $300 from Costco it's worth it but on man when it craps out it's annoying.

Problems:
1.Software is the worst.Does not recognize wifi if it is a 2.4/5Ghz combo.
2.Pairing is a rocket science.Bluetooth or Wifi no difference.
3.Sound turns off when videos on youtube are changed (and commercials appear)
Solutions:
1.Turn off Cec like users said.But then you will have to use the tv and sound bar remotes separately.Basically it's like an optical with Atmos.
2.Good thing Atmos works.
Verified with Atmos demo videos on dolby channel.
3.When sound is off, Change inputs on vizio remote to hdmi arc.
(Even though it shows hdmi arc in notification and sound is off.Do the same,i.e. change input to hdmi arc from hdmi arc.)The light changes on sound bar should be an indicator.3 and 4 lights from top.
4.The above should resolve the problem of restarting systems.Hope this helps.
5.The app (when it works)-- change the atmos ear level settings to minus settings.It will fool the sound bar and upfire atmos sounds.

I wish I could return them but i have them for about 6 months now. They used to work great in the beginning.
They sound pretty good, though (when they work).

I returned the 5.1.2 after about a year because of all the issues and replaced it with this. This one does not have issues for me
Not worth the trouble to exchange as we just turn it back on.

I never had issues with devices turning on/off randomly but I do have a Vizio p series 65 and 75in tv.
Also the sub is only ok it's small and plenty powerful but creates some muddling.
