Thnx for the comprehensive list of everything and a detailed hookup instructions. Just popped this baby on and 2 min in, I have incredible Polk sound on my t.v. Appreciate ya Tim!
I love Polk speakers, have since the 80's. Great video, I like the fact that you showed so much of the actual product and not just another creator talking on camera. Great video Tim
Love the video. I have a few questions. I just purchased this new from someone and only paid $150 but was torn between this one or the VIZIO SB3621n-F8M. With the price and what the polk offered more than the vizio I couldn't pass it up. Did I make a good purchase? Is the sound on the polk better than on a vizio? Is the sound room filling and close to actual surround?
It's 2020. I'd have to say that polk and jbl are the best all around sounding soundbars and I would know. I carried 2 back back because they sound like pure shat. Then my Dad went and got him a samsung. Yeahhh, it had a sub woofer and sounded no better than television speakers so it had to go back also. On my third try I went with the JBL 3.1. I was definitely satisfied with it when I first got it. I could make the windows in my house shake and ten Dad went and got the 3.1. Polk and ole my goodness. He could rock the whole neighbor hood with that think so if I had to pick between the best overall soundbars from movies to music to games, i'd go with the polk 3.1 as my number 1 and the JBL as a close second. It really depends on whether or not you like bass but both of these are great soundbar systems
I have the same combo.tlc 65 4K with Polk command bar. But it suddenly stopped controlling my tv. When I turn up the Polk it does nothing to the tv. Any ideas why this is happening?
So I plugged in the power to the sound bar. I haven't attached any HDMI cables because I wanted to Bluetooth it to my new TV. My TV can't find it to link it via Bluetooth. It's telling me that I need to install the polk connect app on my phone which I tried to. The app won't complete the installation. So frustrating.
anyone who has this, I went on the App Store and the polk app's 1 star with like 100 reviews, all saying the app doesn't work at all and they can't set up the soundbar. I Googled more reviews and 1 person said it won't work well at all unless you set it up on a 5Ghz network. But I can't find anything else to back this up. Could someone chime in here? I've narrowed it down to this one or the Polk Magnifi Mini. The app reviews have me worried about this one though.
@2:15 please don't touch the woofer, especially like that.. On audio.. Guys never turn anything on max settings, maybe a phone.. but that is probably the only thing to do that in! I owned a car audio shop for many years, It hurts seeing things like this....lol
Please, i need your help. I have the same exact setup as yours. I plugged hdmi cable to my hdmi 1 arc on my tv and on my hdmi arc of the sound bar. I open netflix or hulu and no sound comes on the bar.
I have the same setup as you (not yet configured, waiting on basement Reno). On the inputs can you run HDMI 3 arc to the sound bar and run your Xbox straight to the TV? Or would all devices have to be connected to the soundbar?
This is a great soundbar but has two FATAL flaws. First the soundbar goes into standby after 15 minutes if it receives on audio input. This means if you mute your TV for more than that time so you have to grab soundbar remote and turn back on. Second the soundbar will not turn on and off with your television after pairing so again you have to grab the soundbar remote to turn back on. Every other soundbar turns on/off with TV after pairing. Note there are no work-a-rounds for these problems.
Why my owned magnifi mini it sound not good when I wacht movies on netflix I volume at 70 % not loud noise how do I man before it good sound on netflix
The set up is way too quick in this video. The first time was a super pain in the B. I need to set up again after couple years... a pain again. I been one hour trying. I live my sound bar but the set up is impossible
Poor instructional video. Did not address if you have a cable box. Did not spend enough time demonstrating the actual hook-up procedure or any trouble shooting. The Polk Connect app looked nothing like the one I found on-line although it had the same Icon allowing me to believe that I did install the proper one.
@@Roberto-om1to i'm from mongolia shipping back cost me 260 us dollar. So i could not. But the good news was they shipped me new one :D yeeeeaaaaaa!!!!
Thnx for the comprehensive list of everything and a detailed hookup instructions. Just popped this baby on and 2 min in, I have incredible Polk sound on my t.v. Appreciate ya Tim!
This bar slaps! When you are watching a movie, the ambient sound is crystal clear!
I was looking back to hos to hook up my old sound bar. If you want bass switch to samsung the new samsung high powered bar and woofers

Tim has always been a hands-on kind of Reviewer.
Great Alexa review. Como'n man....
Polk: Please review our product
Amazon: It has Alexa, just talk about Alexa.
Just got mine yesterday and I love it. Bo flaws. Best for the price as well
Which is best sound bar for a bass lover Polk or jbl 2.1
You're welcome Tim :-)
Always a pleasant and rewarding experience watching, and listening to your videos !
Sincerely, JL ^_^
Is it still worth buying in 2021? Or do you recommend any new release under same budget

Having issue with polk audio command bar firmware update. Alexa keeps saying update is available.. but nothing happened. Plz suggest..

This is pretty neat!
I have an issue with mine. The voice keeps saying "Optical" and TV HDMI" over and over. And those two cables are plugged in.
i had the same problem. its just not working. does youre soundbar loosing the wlan all 2 days aswell ?
Good stuff and decent price.
What do you think about the polk magnifi max sound bar and 8" down firing sub? Normally $569 @ best buy, right now $399.
RV works great just bought it!
love my polk command center. Cant figure out how to get Alexa to play my spotify music though!
I have the same combo.tlc 65 4K with Polk command bar. But it suddenly stopped controlling my tv. When I turn up the Polk it does nothing to the tv. Any ideas why this is happening?
How is the sound on the polk bar? I just purchased one but haven't gotten it yet. Is it loud/room filling? is it close to actual surround sound?
Just as you asked it what the weather was my echo told me the weather where I was it was hilarious
So I plugged in the power to the sound bar. I haven't attached any HDMI cables because I wanted to Bluetooth it to my new TV. My TV can't find it to link it via Bluetooth.

I think HDMI will give you better quality audio?
Nice easter egg starting 6:53
Seems nice, but it would be a lot better is that Amazon junk wasn't in there. No sure why they'd go with Alexa over Google Assistant.
Very cool. 😎
Mr. Tim, my command bar update today and turn off.. and I can turn on.. the sub is on... Can you help?
Just got it on Black Friday... was hoping for more detail on setup w cable box, tv and other speakers run by Alexa. Thanks for good overview though!
How much was it on BF?
Great looking outfit!
Awesome review my friend.😉
How do you pair Polk remote?

Can this be mounted with sound bar mount to tv?
@2:15 please don't touch the woofer, especially like that..
On audio.. Guys never turn anything on max settings, maybe a phone.. but that is probably the only thing to do that in!
I owned a car audio shop for many years, It hurts seeing things like this....lol
What are those 2 small plastic pieces that come with it for
I was hoping you were going talk about connecting the device to the TV as well as what to do when the Bluetooth audio is out of sync with the video.
nice video bro...
How do you fix the sound cutting in and out? Happens every minute or so. Very frustrating!
I need to get one of these for my mom, she complains about the bad sound all the time
plz can you see did it work with 220v electricity
Can i add another sub woofer to it?
Please, i need your help. I have the same exact setup as yours. I plugged hdmi cable to my hdmi 1 arc on my tv and on my hdmi arc of the sound bar. I open netflix or hulu and no sound comes on the bar.
go to tv settings sound output should be on receiver hdmi
Does the Sub uses wireless connection?
Does it get loud? and how does it sound when just playing music?
kinda late... but love the new intro. You just need to continue the music. Killing it right away ruins the vibe of the video.
I have the same setup as you (not yet configured, waiting on basement Reno). On the inputs can you run HDMI 3 arc to the sound bar and run your Xbox straight to the TV? Or would all devices have to be connected to the soundbar?
yes I did it with mine
It should be a good Deal
Nice video bro really nice
Wow amazing..!!!
Did you notice any audio lag/lip sync issues?
I miss the good ole days, when this hunky snack would wear tight shirts and tank tops in his vids. 😩
K. H. Why lol
I think that was awesome bro 😍😍 what the price of that speaker ????
i_am_ hiten just got mine at att for 214$ I couldn’t believe it! Best Buy has em for around 500$ for the whole get up
Wow nice
How can you make it that you can control the volume with the Roku remote control?
This is a great soundbar but has two FATAL flaws. First the soundbar goes into standby after 15 minutes if it receives on audio input.

Can you wall mount the bar?
In which languages does Alexa speak except English and the people, can you copy the TV remote?
Commando o mini?
You never showed the actual set up of you doing it !
Why my owned magnifi mini it sound not good when I wacht movies on netflix I volume at 70 % not loud noise how do I man before it good sound on netflix
can you link it to other echos?
Nice
No dolby atmos??
Great product #designed...
Nice...
would have liked if you also connected something via bluetooth
The set up is way too quick in this video. The first time was a super pain in the B. I need to set up again after couple years... a pain again. I been one hour trying. I live my sound bar but the set up is impossible
how's the bass?
great sound,
Came here to figure out how to properly connect the subwoofer :(
Why you keep on interrupting during the audio test? Worst thing to do in a review. You can't even letting us hear it properly
I think this has less table than Polk magnifi mini
Keep gettin an error won’t connect
This or lg sk8y

I’m guessing you have to have WiFi to use this
Yes..
Hi bro
😱😱😱😭😭😭😊
Yah..
Next time, talkless work more! Sorry, play more music. 😂
Do not buy POLK AUDIO soundbar it's not worth mine broke after 1 month no answer from polk audio do not buy!!!
Take it back to the shop ....!?
@@Roberto-om1to i'm from mongolia shipping back cost me 260 us dollar. So i could not. But the good news was they shipped me new one :D yeeeeaaaaaa!!!!
@@djdd5149 i just got one yesterday xD
@@Roberto-om1to playing music isn't that great but for movies i think it's okey
I don't like the design, look very bulky.
Sorry, I'm not buying anything with Amazon Alexa in it.
Und - das interessiert hier niemanden ob du dich beobachtet fühlst oder nicht - geh zum Therapeuten
you don't have to set up alexa
I want one smartphone give meeeeee tim
😊😊
No spec , no watts , no RMS details, nothing,.name PolK
Wow you no ku inye beiun you
This Soundbar looses Wlan all 2 Days. Everybody has the same Problem. Dont buy it.
Who is everyone ??? My soundbar does not have the problem, works fine.....maybe the problem lies with you?
This thing sucks. Alexa can't even control an Xbox. Useless.
