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.

With eARC it should pair up just fine.

Well, depends if he is just using the built in speakers, this will sound infinitely better. But, sure, there are better sounding soundbars for more $$$.
any recommendations? most solid soundbars i see are over $500.. this tcl was a nice price

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).
That's the price I'm seeing on Walmart now.

I have an older TCL Roku TV that's maybe 5+ years old, will this work with it?

I logged out and logged back in and now I see the lower price. Time to order one, thanks.
Price went back up to $218 once I tried to check out. I guess that was for the best.

I see this doesn't have an aux in port. Any idea how I'd connect the aux port from an old projector to this soundbar?

I grabbed one a few hours ago in store. They tried to get me to pay $235 when the checker scanned. Had to go checkout at customer service to get the $147 price.

This soundbar has HDMI passthrough. So you can connect your hdmi input to soundbar and then connect the projector hdmi input to the soundbar hdmi output. (Assuming your projector has hdmi in)

The TLC website says it has "3.5mm AUX line-in - Yes" when you look up the model number. Can anybody who has this confirm?

Edit: It's under Specifications/Connections

Does this have a dedicated center channel volume control? I don't just want a dialog boost I want to be able to specifically dial up and down the center channel volume.

Same happened to me, I tried to checkout in electronics department but it rung up for $218, and they wouldn't honor the price online for $147. So I checked out online and chose pick up in store for $147.

Who is this for? People want upfiring speakers but not rear surrounds?
