Great value for the money!
This sound bar offers very good value for the price. I needed something to replace the pitiful speakers in my bedroom TV. Being a bedroom TV I didn't need loud volume or booming bass. I just wanted something with moderate, undistorted bass (my TV just puts out distorted noise where the bass should be) and decent mid and upper range. So, I took a chance on the Riowois sound bar. I'm glad I did!Setting up the sound bar was fairly straightforward so I won't go into detail on that. I set up all three input interface, Bluetooth, optical, and 3.5mm Aux. They all are working for me, I don't see a big advantage of one over the others, with one exception. For some reason, sometimes when I power up the sound bar with the Aux input as the selected interface the sound bar is silent. I've tried powering up the TV before and after the sound bar and it doesn't make a difference. But, if I switch to Bluetooth or optical and then back to Aux, the Aux input starts working. It's not a huge deal, since there's a way to recover, but it's a little concerning.I'm very happy with the sound put out by this sound bar. It's a huge upgrade from my TV speakers. I probably wouldn't use this as the sound bar in my home theater, but for a bedroom setup it's a great fit.One issue that I now had was 3 remotes on the nightstand (TV, cable box, sound bar). I really wanted to consolidate with a cheap universal remote. After some research, I settled on the backlit (a must-have for a bedroom TV) GE Ultrapro universal remote model number 48848, available on Amazon. This remote comes pre-programmed to control my Samsung TV (but you can program it for any other TV brand) and I was hoping it could replace my cable box/DVR remote and the Riowois sound bar remote. I was happy to find the right remote code for my cable box as well as the sound bar. Remote code 3106 works for the Riowois sound bar. Once the universal remote was programmed I found that the keys mapped to the sound bar functions as follows:- Power On/Off = sound bar Power On/Off- Volume Up/Down = sound bar Volume Up/Down- Mute = sound bar Mute- Play = in BT mode it will trigger "Play" on the paired bluetooth source device (phone, etc)- Pause = in BT mode it will trigger "Pause" on the paired bluetooth source device (phone, etc)- * button (info button) = selects Optical input on sound bar (same as OPT button on sound bar remote)- 5 button of numeric keypad = selects BT input on sound bar (same as BT button on sound bar remote)- 9 button of numeric keypad = selects Aux input on sound bar (same as AUX button on sound bar remote)I didn't find any other button mappings, but these are the key functions of the sound bar remote that I was looking to replicate, so I'm satisfied. The buttons on the sound bar remote that I couldn't replicate on the universal remote fall into the category of "set it and forget it" for me so I'm not too upset that I can't replicate them.One other issue I had for the sound bar was that I didn't have a good place to locate it. The TV is on the corner of my dresser and I was concerned about knocking the sound bar off the dresser because it would stick out if I placed it below and in front of the TV. I found a great solution to this problem on Amazon. I got a TV top shelf sound bar mount (16.9x4.7 inches) that nicely fits the top of my TV. The sound bar is the same width as the shelf, a perfect fit. The shelf was simple to install on the TV, no tools or alterations to the TV are required. If you have an issue placing the sound bar like I did, I recommend taking a look at the TV shelf.Overall, I'm very satisfied with this sound bar. Despite the intermittent issue with the silent Aux input after power-on, I'm giving it 5 stars based on value for the money.Ver másVer menos
