Deal Details
**Made posting error obviously with the price… mod fix?** The sale price is $179.00.

Link to product page (for specs) https://www.usa.philips.com/c-p/T...-subwoofer

Walmart has it for around $500. Lenovo has it for $600… Sam's has it on sale for $179. Either way the lowest prices I have seen for a 5.1.2 Atmos soundbar. The pictures appear to show 2 hdmi inputs (confirmed it does) and 1 eARC also which to me makes this very interesting as you can plug 2 devices directly into the soundbar. Sam's return policy is similar to Costco if you didn't know. Ships free.. though I am a plus member.

Highlights

- 5.1.2-Channel Configuration
- 8" Wireless Subwoofer & Rear Speakers
- Up to 390W RMS of Power
- Dolby Atmos with Up-Firing Drivers
- Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) & Bluetooth Streaming
- AirPlay 2 & Chromecast Built-In
- Google Assistant Voice Controls
- 4K HDR Video Pass-Through
- HDMI Out with ARC/eARC Support. 2 HDMI In
-Soundbar is Wall Mountable

So Custom?? I would assume would allow you to control channel levels/graphic EQ?

No, you cannot control channel levels. You are stuck with adjusting the overall volume. Also, this is a repost/duplicate. There is more discussion in the other post.

Bottom line, I'm passing on this because you can't adjust individual channels and I like to increase the center channel a bit, to better hear dialog. Also, it cannot decode DTS.

I don't see the other post, link? I'm curious about reading up on it considering how expensive this is elsewhere online.

It was wrong. I got this one from previous post. The individual channel can be adjusted (-5 ~ +5 for each channel like center). Notably, despite to default function, dialog sound is really good to be classified. I have visio m5.1 and samsung 600 series 5.1 one. Visio one is too much base, so dialog sounds often could not be clear, while Samsung one has clearer sound for dialog, but base is low. This Philips one is a kind of half and half like not only clear dialog sound from center, but also enough base. I love this one, and I think it is better than Visio and Samsung.

Additionally, I connected it to XBOX, and yeah, as you said, only Dolby Atmos could be decoded, but not for DTS:X.
