    Bought it the last time around. It's a very compact unit but it performs quite well compared to the speakers on the TV.

    Definitely worth it for $99.

      Same, might get another. Only downside it is when you turn it on the volume starts back at zero each time.

    • sparkles on 12/10/2013 - 10:10

      The snob in me needs to know….does it look "cheap"?

      • ilikeit on 12/10/2013 - 11:22

        I don't think so. Kind of the same black plastic finish as most tv frames.

      • dannyboi on 12/10/2013 - 14:22

        Doesn't look bad but doesn't look "expensive" either. It's just a glossy section in the middle with the speakers on the ends. The subwoofer looks like any other subwoofer.

    God Damn dse and their crappy mobile site. It always fails when I check out using PayPal.

    • sparkles on 12/10/2013 - 10:22

      The main site is failing too. A Click and Collect order give this message at the final stage - Error creating order.

      • Peace Maker on 12/10/2013 - 11:05

        Main site worked fine for me on C&C.

    I got one last time. I did not realise it doesn't support DTS
    which is a pity.

    • Kamsi on 12/10/2013 - 10:53

      With that price tags I doubted.

    • giggles on 12/10/2013 - 11:17

      Well that means no DTS-HD or Dolby True-HD then.

      So it can't playback the awesome audio that you buy BluRay for, just normal 5.1.

      I don't even rip the 5.1 track anymore, only True-HD, so no playback option at all.

      • Riker88 on 12/10/2013 - 17:03

        Even if it did support it, do you really think you will be able to hear the difference with a $99 soundbar ?

      • AdrianW on 12/10/2013 - 17:37

        If you're using DTS-MA or True-HD then you do not need a $99 soundbar - you need a proper 5.1 or 7.1 setup with individual speakers and an AV-receiver.

        • giggles on 13/10/2013 - 09:49

          moot.

    • raydragon on 12/10/2013 - 14:15

      So does that mean that if you are playing something back that is encoded as DTS then you get no sound out of the unit at all, or does it downmix or fall back to DD or Stereo or something? I would assume that also only applies to the Coax and SPDIF inputs, the 3.5mm input (being analogue) would work at all times, although not sound as good surely?

      • cyssero on 12/10/2013 - 17:38

        It will play the sound, but it will be PCM or some other format rather than unadulterated DTS-HD/DD True-HD.

      • AdrianW on 12/10/2013 - 17:40

        The analogue collection will obviosuly work - but you can't feed this thing DTS and expect to get any useful sound. But it's possible that your player can down-convert to AC3 for PCM.

      • Drphods on 14/10/2013 - 23:50

        I don't believe you will get any sound at all. I have an LG tv which will decode video files which have dolby sound tracks but will not play any sound where the audio track is dts only (some files have multiple tracks). For files with dts I have to run a coaxial or optical cable to an amplifier which can decode dts audio. Alternatively my Samsung bluray player will decode dts to stereo before getting to the tv, so if you have a player which decodes the signal, then you will have stereo sound.

  • taroko on 12/10/2013 - 11:15

    Those who are interested in this nice device better check if your TVs has some sort of audio output, my 6 years old Hitachi plasma doesn't… too bad.

    • deconst on 12/10/2013 - 11:48

      Yep I bought it last time and I was lucky that my TV had SPDIF output. It accepts that, optical, or RCA. Happy with the product, it's a good deal for $99 and makes movies watchable now that the dialogue has a centre speaker.

    • CH on 12/10/2013 - 13:28

      Not even headphone output? Can use a 3.5mm to stereo RCA adapter.

  • Dealayed on 12/10/2013 - 11:17

    Can you get $20 off if you order via the app?? The app wont let me log in so cant check..

  • Leonard on 12/10/2013 - 12:58

    Workmate looking for one of these, so bought it for him. Strangely, no delivery charge to Brisbane which makes it even better value.

  • KiddieKid on 12/10/2013 - 13:08

    Bought one of these last time. Its a great little unit to add a little bit extra when watching movies.

  • apna235 on 12/10/2013 - 13:11

    Is this better than logitech z623 for movie dialogues?

  • Dealayed on 12/10/2013 - 14:41

    Wonder why this time its getting more votes??

    read ozbargain at brekkie time. Put on washing. Order sound bar via click and collect. put on dishwasher (bought via deals direct from bargain spied on ozbargain). Use fairy dishwasher tabs found from ozbargain deal. Watch a bit of telly (bought after checking ozbargain). Walk around to dickies - pick up sound bar. Walk home. washing machine & dishwasher still going coz it was all so quick even with no car. Just a usual day in the life of an ozbargainer :P Thanks to all!! <3

  • Logan02 on 12/10/2013 - 14:55

    Grabbed one today from the store - indeed worth its price. Good Deal

  • mrdevil on 12/10/2013 - 15:03

    Damn you OzBargain - bought one, free delivery is a nice touch. No real need for it, but judging by the comments on here it'll be better than my current setup, so may as well give it a go! Thanks gummibear :/ :)

  • Herbse on 12/10/2013 - 15:22

    why do I get the feeling my order will be cancelled due to lack of stock….

  • aff on 12/10/2013 - 16:01

    Just picked one up at Hornsby :) They've got 1 more in stock for pick up.

  • dqtl74 on 12/10/2013 - 17:15

    Tempted to pick one up for the TV in the spare room but it's wall-mounted and there's nothing underneath. Can this soundbar be mounted?

    • hypnOtixx on 12/10/2013 - 18:17

      Yes it is wall mountable

  • mtbboy41 on 12/10/2013 - 18:19

    Well, mine is going back after about 15 minutes. Hooked it up by coax from the tv and optical from my android tv box. It worked on either source for a couple of minutes then sound would be lost and a loud pop/clicking noise kept coming through the speakers. Also , when it worked you wouldn't have any idea of the treble / bass/ or volume settings. It resets every time you turn it on. (which i did numerous times to stop the pop/clicking). If thy offer me another one to try I don't think I'll bother. Perhaps this is a case of you really do get what you pay for??

    • spoonmugen on 12/10/2013 - 18:55

      just seems like a faulty unit…
      its not $99 everywhere… its $199

  • cdundee on 12/10/2013 - 18:29

    Had 3 left in Burwood Westfield. They had one displayed as well. Dialogue sounded good, crisp and clear. Ok for the money but did resist this time.

  • neonlight on 12/10/2013 - 18:38

    So no cables at all even for the subwoofer one? Not even RCA?

  • mtbboy41 on 12/10/2013 - 18:39

    Subwoofer has twin flex speaker wire attached

  • DEvok on 12/10/2013 - 20:35

    That's very low watts, I purchased the samsung home sound system for $177 at 30% off at jbhifi, it has 500watt and true surround 3d channels just a tad extra the htf4500xy has way more punch for its buck.

    • Hoju on 12/10/2013 - 20:55

      Says $277 on their website now, so that's a fair price difference…

  • LYRICALRAVER on 12/10/2013 - 20:48

    can you really trust stores people when they tell you 'out of stock'? or 'we'll tell you when the next order will be in'?? sometimes you just wonder whether it's just their marketing gimmick

  • DEvok on 12/10/2013 - 21:07

    Yeah I purchased it end of last months sale, just speaking out if your going to use it for blurays/dvd, I wouldn't recommend. I cant express myself enough sound bars are horrible unless you are going for the high end models, treble and base dreadfull for these Phillips. But for the price I gotta give it way, it's a hell better than any tv built in speakers.

  • neonlight on 13/10/2013 - 00:00

    Just ordered one. Sounds really good for its price. Maybe impulsive purchase but what can I say, the deal is too good to pass up…can't help myself

    Just picked up a set, for the price very happy with it

  • ramshyam1982 on 13/10/2013 - 17:58

    nice sound for the price. worth $99

  • mtbboy41 on 13/10/2013 - 18:14

    Had mine replaced this afternoon and have given the new one a good workout. Much happier now. Using an old harmony remote to control tv and soundbar works a treat.

    • xterryx on 13/10/2013 - 20:54

      can i ask what was wrong with it

  • mtbboy41 on 14/10/2013 - 09:11

    It appeared to overheat after a few minutes and the sound from optical or coax was replaced by a constant popping and clicking. Must have been a one off because used the replacement for about 4 hours straight and it dint miss a beat.

  • Forfiet on 15/10/2013 - 17:42

    I grabbed one and it's arrived today……sadly might have to upgrade my old openelec build to set it up easier…. plughw codes are a pain!

    • Forfiet on 15/10/2013 - 21:21

      Got it working in Openelec/XBMC really works at treat! Using optical cable I bought ages ago and works with no dramas :)

  • neonlight on 15/10/2013 - 22:53

    Got them today ready to setup.sounds is not bad.

    For $99, it's good enough as is…

    There's no way I would have paid$299 for this at all at rrp

  • neonlight on 16/10/2013 - 08:46

    Surround sound feature echo so much I don't even use it
