The sound quality is good. But, When put it front of my 47lb652v TV it blocks the TV's infrared receiver. I had to put it behind the TV. Not a great design.

This sound bar works fine and I have had no problems with it. However, being the low end model, it does not sound much better than the stock speakers on my 42" LG TV. The mids and highs are about the same (modest improvement) and the bass is slightly improved due to the small but still undersized subwoofer. The LG TV and DVD remotes will not control the sound bar, requiring the use of multiple LG remotes, which is a major downside. While I guess I can't really complain for the price (it is pretty cheap after all) you can spend a few more dollars and get a much better LG sound bar. If anything, I'd have to say the speakers on my LG TV are rather good for a smallish flat screen and maybe that's why I can't really appreciate this sound bar. That being said, I have a different sound bar on another TV that cost $70 more that is much (like 10 times) better: room filling sound, crisp highs, clear mids, and heart pounding bass which are absent in this model. Nothing against LG, but I'd recommend buying the next model up. You wouldn't be spending much more and you'd be getting a much better sounding product.

I had no trouble at all using this sound bar. It installed in a few minutes, was very easy to install and use. I love it!!! ( I had originally purchased another brand and wasted 2.5 hours on the phone with their tech people all to find out the sound bar was broken). I am thrilled with my LG sound bar and would recommend it very highly.
