I bought this soundbar expecting that it would improve the audio on my Vizio 42" TV, and I was disappointed that the speakers on the Vizio actually provided greater volume and definition than the soundbar.   The soundbar was actually easy to set up and I was please with the features of the remote control.   I decided to use an optical cable for connecting the soundbar to the TV unfortunately the optical cable was not provided with the iLive soundbar which was frustrating and an extra expense.
