Toshiba TY-WSB600 120W Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer

Product Information

The Sonos Arc draws on Dolby’s latest TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus sound codecs to deliver the best quality lossless audio found on cutting-edge Blu-ray discs and some of the leading streaming services. Crucially, that also includes Dolby Atmos support, and while the reflected height and side channels aren't as pronounced as some of the soundbars here can manage, they're still impressive, and the range of precision of the Arc is superb. Contains a token that can be used to retrieve a Client ID from AMP Client ID service. Other possible values indicate opt-out, inflight request or an error retrieving a Client ID from AMP Client ID service. You can hook it up to one of Sonos' subwoofers if you're looking for more bass in your music, but the Beam's built in speakers provide a rich sound that make it an ideal choice for those who are looking for their soundbar to double as a speaker.

This also takes away the ability to send TrueHD or DTS-HD MA signals to it, but the Toshiba doesn’t support these so it really isn’t causing any harm. Inside the sound bar unit, the SBX4250 has a pair of 2.5″ midrange and a 1.5″ dome tweeter for each left and right “speaker”, along with a 75W amplifier for each side. These are paired with a wireless 6.5″ ported subwoofer with a 150W amplifier to handle bass duties. The bar itself is just over 3′ wide making it a good pair for a display in the 42″ range, and at 5 lbs. is very easy to wall mount. With its wireless interface, setting up the subwoofer is easy as you can choose the position with the best bass response, or just place it somewhere out of the way. The best way to connect a soundbar to your TV is with an HDMI cable. You'll need to make sure you have an HDMI port on your soundbar and an HDMI ARC port on your TV. This allows you to use a cable to connect them. Still, when it comes to diminutive soundbars capable of room-filling sound, you won’t find a better option than the MagniFi Mini AX. Just make sure that it will fit underneath your TV, as although it’s extremely narrow, it’s a little taller than many other soundbars on the market. Not used in ga.js. Set for interoperability with urchin.js. Historically, this cookie operated in conjunction with the __utmb cookie to determine whether the user was in a new session/visit. Almost all sandbars come with a remote, but they are usually not of good quality and numerous manufacturers rely instead on users to program their sounbars to respond to commands from the remote of their TVs. It’s not a bad idea but it can be problematic at times. Once you disable the internal speakers of your TV, some TVs will display an irritating message every time they receive volume remote commands, which typically happens when you’re using the remote of your TV to control your soundbar.

If your soundbar has an accompanying app for your smartphone or tablet, you could use this as an alternative to the remote, at least on a temporary basis. Some brands also let you buy replacement remotes separately, which is worth trying if you suspect your remote control is faulty (for example, if it stopped working after you dropped it). My soundbar or subwoofer isn’t working at all If you’re using a 3.5mm aux cable to connect to your soundbar, this is likely the culprit. First, ensure both ends of the cable are fully and securely inserted into your TV and soundbar. Soundbars come in many shapes and sizes, from less than a foot long to as tall as 4ft or even more. While larger ones often offer more drivers for bigger sound, often times you’re simply paying for a longer box. Keep in mind that a soundbar’s length does not directly correspond to your TV’s screen size. Although the JBL Bar 1300X doesn't take up too much space, it is designed to fill larger rooms with sound so we wouldn't recommend it in smaller homes. This soundbar also isn't going to suit serious gamers. While there are multiple HDMI ports here, none of them have 4K 120Hz pass-through to support that resolution and frame rate when playing games on PS5 or Xbox Series X, a feature you can find on our choice on the best soundbar for gaming, the Sony HT-A7000. Many of the high-end soundbars in this list also have Dolby Atmos built-in. Again, this isn't technically surround sound, but the audio tech is advanced and creates the illusion of immersive sound by bouncing sounds off the walls and ceiling around you. Are Dolby Atmos soundbars really worth it?

However, other devices with only one soundbar claim to offer surround sound. What this means is they deliver a stereo effect, which seems more like sound is coming from different directions, but isn't. Less useful these days are analogue connections such as stereo RCA and 3.5mm inputs, and they’re becoming less common on soundbars, too. They’re still worth having for emergency use, but don’t worry too much if your soundbar doesn’t have these.Design: Your sound bar should be designed really well or choose one with a well-thought out style that will not be a distraction on your TV set or décor. Lookout for sand bars with easy to reach buttons as well. You need to get a soundbar that fits in the space you have available. Some people have their TV mounted and a soundbar could happily be mounted underneath. Others have their TV on a stand and the soundbar can sit in front of it.

Session tokens are linked to a client ID (see clientId) During our review, we noted that dialogue clarity is excellent, and while it doesn’t hit the low bass notes that other soundbar systems with an included subwoofer manage, it offers up consistently exciting sound when watching movies and TV. At Remotes4u, we've been delivering Toshiba remotes to thousands of customers over the past 10 years as one of the UK's leading online remote retailers.Audio is just as important as visuals when watching TV, but a lot of manufacturers overlook sound quality when producing televisions. By buying one of the best soundbars, you will significantly enhance your audio experience while watching movies, sports and TV shows. Dialogue will sound clearer, sound effects more impactful and music much richer. Watching Cars 2, while the subwoofer was small its impact was clearly heard with depth charges at the start of the film. The action moved across the soundstage well during a chase scene and sounds were more distinct than with the TVs internal speakers. Switching from Stereo to the SRS modes led to a far wider soundstage that did an even better job drawing me in. Without SRS the sound was confined to the width of the bar but with it enabled is seemed to fill my whole front wall. You generally have two options when it comes to soundbar placement: wall-mounting it, or placing in below your TV on your TV cabinet. If your soundbar is quite tall, wall-mounting may be the best option, as it could obscure the IR receiver on your TV, rendering your remote control useless.
