Apparently there are two models, the TS813 and the TS8132. I assume the TS8132 is the newer and current model. The biggest difference appears to be that the TS813 does not have optical and the TS8132 does, so if optical is important to you this could be a concern.

Since the Walmart listing says it supports optical and comes with an optical cable then it should be the TS8132. But about half the reviews say it doesn't have optical, so I guess it's a crap shoot on which one you get. I ordered one for shipping thinking that I might stand a better chance of getting the new model instead of one that's been on the store shelf for a year, but I could be wrong. I didn't feel like driving down there and fighting the crowd to find out which one they had.

The TCL product page is at https://www.tcl.com/us/en/products/sound-bars/alto-8-series/alto-8-plus-3-1-2-channel-sound-bar-ts81... [tcl.com] To further confuse matters near the top of the page it lists optical, but in the Specifications sections it says Optical = NO. The downloadable specs PDF says Yes.

I guess I'll find out in a few days when it arrives, and at least Walmart is easy for returns.

Sorry. All I did was copy and paste the description from the Walmart website. I'm just someone who was looking for a soundbar and stumbled upon this deal.

Does anyone know if it's possible to mute or turn off the sub for times when I don't want to disturb others?

I got one of those $228 TCL 55" Roku TVs from an earlier WM deal. If I wanted to adjust the volume, would I need to use the separate remotes or can I just use the TV remote?

The soundbar comes with a remote, you can lower the bass with that

This thing does Dolby Atmos, but no mention on DTS support. Can anyone comment on this?

This pairs up with roku Tvs when using ARC hdmi. It pops up on screen and does the little set up. Atleast it did that with my element roku 65"

I bought the vizio SB3651n-H46 in black friday deal from Walmart. The satellite speakers are cool but when I play a movie, I can't really understand the low conversations without subtitles.
Now, this deal is the same price of what I paid for the vizio.

I know this has atmos and the vizio has satellites so they don't really compare but is it better to have this atmos deal than the non atmos vizio SB3651n-H46?

I owned 3 to 4 vizio soundbars before. Their firmware are buggy. I would avoid.

I bought this soundbar when it was $218. It's a very good soundbar and a superb value, especially at the new price. I think the teardown video linked earlier demonstrates TCL's determination to become a player in the soundbar market. It is truly feature rich and it looks good. It even has a second HDMI port. I have to mention that I had to return it only because my Harmony remote would not work with it (something my better half would not accept).

I bought the Samsung HW-Q850A to go with my 77" Sony A80CJ. But I've been struggling on whether it's worth it. Anyone know if that set will be worth the >$600 difference over something like this?

Do you have the Harmony Hub or just a regular remote?

Hub. The Harmony database shows the 8+ as in it, but it uses the model ts8111, which is the 8i. No buttons worked on the Harmony. I even tried the learning function, it accepted buttons, but none of it worked. I checked the Harmony database for the 813, 8132 and 813e, but none were in the database.

This should have a "Night Mode" that boosts the treble and dialogue but cuts the bass down
