Polk Audio SurroundBar360° DVD Home Theater System
As of the end of 2009, this is a good OLD product. the sound is good, but it only support 1080i. So if you have a higher version TV, you need to find a way to do not use the vidio by pass function.
One possible problem is if you are not using the video by pass, it may give out un-continuous sound. I am guessing there is some static building up to effect the function. what you need to do is switch your TV input to this sound bar for a sec, and then switch back to whatever you are watching. then it will function normally.

I’ve been shopping around for a good sound quality sound system for a while. Of course, the Bose system is the best no doubt. For $2000, it better be. But I wasn’t ready to pay that much. I’ve heard and tested endless system, and the search came to an end after I heard this PolkAudio 360 SurroundBar. I was practically blown away from the sound quality. I think it’s the best quality after the bose system for less than half the price.
I have a PlayStation 3 and the game that i have been playing for months is a brand new experience now with this sound system.
It can get very very loud. I can barely keep the volume at 30. Anymore would drive my neighbors crazy. No movie or video game has yet tapped into the potential of this speaker system. Nothing can make it start scratching. What really amazed me, is that even though it doesn’t have a subwoofer, it does not need one. I was feeling the base sitting on the couch across the room. Amazing. But you do have an option of plugging one in anyway.
Also, I am using Optical Audio source cable to plug it in my TV. That’s the best connection possible for a sound system It makes a big difference than regular AV cables.
I highly recommend it.
However, when i bought it, the DVD console would not power up!!!!! I had to take it back to Best Buy and replace it with another one. So beware of that.

The Polk 360 Surround bar produces a fantastic sound in my living room. It is a very complete sound system when you consider the included receiver/dvd player.

Great sound, A pain to hook up. I think the manual was written by techs for techs. For example, the manuel asks what is your source? That’s the 120 coming from the wall plug. They mean what button is depressed on the remote. If you don’t know what the business end of s screwdriver is for, leave installation of this baby to the experts. BTW, I’m a technical person, and I was ready to pull my hair out. One other thing. It was suggested by a company tech(email help desk) to purchase a LOGITECH remote($125) to control both the TV and the Polk 360. I couldn’t get the Polk 360 remote to control both the TV and the sound bar after inputting the codes. I gave up and decided to use 2 remotes. Give the sound 4 stars, tech manuals and help desk….1 star.

because my sound is mediocre at best. I didn’t even bother hooking the unit up to my cable box because the sound quality isn’t better than the tv’s stock speakers (samsung LCD). If I hadn’t gotten it for such a low price, I would have invested the effort to return the product.
I’ve read others’ reviews as well as “professional” reviews and they all rave about the sound quality which makes me think I got a defective unit…
