      I will tell you a few things that might be wrong, cause we had to go through it by trial and error. First, what are your connections? Do you have your audio settings set to PCM pass-through? Is your sound bar updated? Is it a "ARC" or an eARC connection from your TV? What type of TV do you have? That can help us a lot in helping you out. Also, tonight, my wife and I will be doing an update video on the sound bar, and I promise I will try and help out with your issues as much as I can. Stay blessed

    Had I found this earlier I'd certainly given it a shot, sent back the YAS-209BL as the low end was lacking and the Eq for the Unit refused to sync with my Phone and allow the download of the "Phone Only" Eq. which was a real drag. It also would drop audio out in game play and the only way to get it back was turn it off then back on. If it had not been a pain in the ass... and allowed me eq for the Bass as it was seriously hollow I'd have kept it. And I'll hope they make their next unit for 2021 with Alex or Chrome Cast. I'm going to off the one I replaced it with the JBL 5.1.2 which has fabulously smooth low base and great Highs...but NO Mid-s or lets say the Mids are so flat the Highs and lows kill the response.

Only problem I have with it is that the text indicating what input it’s on, and other info, keeps popping up on the front of it while it’s in use. We’ll be watching a movie and every 5 minutes it will show “optical, Dolby surround sound...” on the front of the sound bar, then it goes back to the two dashes. Does that happen to yours also?

      Yea, the Roku is good. We also use the nvidia for streaming it is alittle better in our experience. We have both installed on our tv in different Hdmi’s. The roku is more reliable steady stream, but the nvidia just up scales everything perfectly. Always have the most crisp picture with the Nvidia. We have the roku for when the nvidia stream buffers during a boxing fight or something .

    @spunout6686 3 года назад +1

    Only had mine for about 2 weeks for $220 as an open box item. Looked like initial purchaser didn't bother even setting it up. Soundbar sounds great, and I have comparisons with my klipsch rsb-3 (built in sub) and TCL 9+ (also advert. as Dolby Atmos). Soundbar itself is pretty clear/clean and I like the adjustments it offers. I find I can tweak that to my liking no matter what I am listening to. My only issue, and this is nitpicking, is the sub, even at 0 setting, sometimes seems a bit much. Maybe over time I will get this worked out but it is really just my opinion. Maybe others would like the heavy/noticeable bass sound. When I compare to my TCL Alto 9+ (which is about same price point) I was able to match the bar/sub sound easier. Or at least what my ears perceived as one not dominating the other. The Klipsch is a very nice sound bar, clean and precise at higher volumes, great adjustments on remote, but with the built in sub just doesn't match at the low end. Alos was $100 bucks less than the other two. It's still early, but overall I would give the edge to the TCL Alto 9+. I think the ONN will give you more/louder volume but just haven't quite gotten that sound synergy yet that I have with the TCL. The ONN at the price I got it for I still believe is great bang for the buck and also appears to have very good build quality. There is really some weight to this combo. Especially given that many other brand ATMOS bar/sub systems are far more expensive.

    • @rickortiz6344
      @rickortiz6344 3 года назад +1

      I can agree with most of what you said, there is some room for improvement on the onn sound bar, and after testing out quite a few sound bar systems with and without dolby atmos, I can surely say in my opinion from the ongoing experience, that this particular system works quite well, and I will give it a pass on some of the things it lacks, compared to others, and like you said, it is a good bargain for what you get. As for the TCL system, I have not had the privilege of trying it out, but you have definitely struck my curiosity and I will be trying it out in the near future. Thank you none the less, and as always, very appreciative of all the comments.

    • @spunout6686
      @spunout6686 3 года назад +1

      Just an update. Did a software update for the ONN and would recommend doing this if you purchase one. Seems to detect the correct type of Dolby now given the source (Atmos, etc,) and am a bit more used to the adjustments. Have the ONN in a living room (about 250-275 sq. ft.) and this is a really nice bar (and big) for a larger room. Fills the room better then the TCL Alto 9+. Have the TCL in the master bedroom. Really like the ONN so far for the price point.

    If you're not running HDMI Arc, then you're not getting Dolby Atmos. Optical cable can't do Atmos. The bandwidth needed is too great for optical. Not sure if I heard you correctly about running optical instead of HDMI, or I might have misunderstood you.

It does not work with my TV remote. I don’t know if it will work with a different TV. BUT When we watch tv on the nvidia, or the Roku those remotes do lower and raise the volume on the soundbar. For the price and performance we just said it’s worth the hassle’ but as of late we both have found eachother saying I wish it turned on automatically, and I hate that it takes so long to turn on.

      @@jessrick3096 I did research after watching your videos, tell me if this is right...
      I have a 2019 model Roku TV with ARC, no eARC. As long as I update the sound bar, run it on ARC, I should be able to control the sound with the TV remote, and it should still sound good right? The only draw back would be having to use two remotes to power it on correct?
      Also, Will I be able to get the atmos sound if my tv doesn’t support atmos? When I was looking up specs for my tv, there was an X next to atmos. Not sure if that means the TV itself isn’t cable of it but the sound bar is and that the sound bar makes it atmos capable if that makes sense. Or if the software on the TV isn’t cable of giving the sound bar what it needs to run atmos. Sorry if that’s confusing, I’m new to this and trying to do research

      @@drft103 Honestly, it is not all that confusing. We have sony oled from 2018 and it has dolby capabilities but not dolby atmos, our Xbox, nvidia shield tv, and now roku box support dolby atmos, and that is what gives us the sound through the soundbar, as they are hooked up directly to the bar itself. As for your tv, I have noticed that most roku tvs are 60 hz in refresh rate and as of right now all of those do not support dolby atmos right now. Our advice, just from experience, you should invest in the new roku box with dolby vision and dolby atmos and that should fix your issue. Thank you and I hope this helps

    If you are getting dolby atmos what will the soundbar say. HBO Max says it has 4K UHD and dolby atmos and I am watching it through a Samsung smart TV with the ARC hooked up and it says Dolby Surround is that atmos or is it 5.1

      Hello! Nah the speaker will say Dolby Atmos if it is playing in Atmos. Try updating it. (My next video will tell you how) if you connect it to your modem with the Ethernet for 5 mins it will say updating and it should work!

      I just tried it again with the cord that came with it and still nothing. It still says dolby surround or pcm on Netflix it says dolby surroud on some stuff and cobra kai says 5.1 on netflix but the soundbar says pcm. And hbo max says dolby atmos and the soundbar says surround at first and if I turn it up or down it's changes to pcm

      Great! Glad you like it. Remember to update it by connecting a Ethernet to it, it will improve the sound. Also, the settings on this bar are pretty simple. Just set everything at max except for the subwoofer, I would put it at 7 because it is too powerful. But that’s preference.

      @@69headwound the update should work (connecting it to the Ethernet) it’s not just for apply air play. What tv do you have? Most will a sound setting area where you can click Dolby Atmos, Dolby vision , hdr, hdr10 if your tv does not have these then you might have to use another streaming box for it to work. But first I need to know what kind of tv you have 🙂
