SET up take 15 minute . I place the 2 inch tall sound bar on my tv stand . I do not attach the foot because it would be so tall it would block the power button of my 42 inch LG TV . I put the subwoofer on the floor , until I get a new tv stand with shelf . I twist off the cap for 6 speaker wire that go into the sound bar and the other 6 wire that go into the subwoofer . I be use to speaker wire from set up my old stereo . only the subwoofer have a electrical plug , a plain one , not the blocky one . all the input & display be on the subwoofer . I connect a hdmus cable from the Comcast DVR & another HDMI cable from the subwoofer into the tv to convey the picture , which pass thru the Yamaha unit . the Yamaha be receive Dolby Digital from Comcast . I turn off the tv 's speaker . if you wish more audio input than the one provide by Yamaha , search Amazon for `` tosklink audio selector '' I have my HP desktop pc connect with hdmus to my tv for streaming , but when connect to the Yamaha , my computer screen go blank . so , I keep the HDMI cable in my tv for picture , and connect a toslink audio cable from the pc to the Yamaha . the Yamaha be receive PCM sound from my pc -lrb- from the internet -rrb- but not Dolby Digital . the subwoofer be also a FM receiver . after I connect the little antenna cord , I be able to receive 10 or 11 radio station . use could not be easier . I turn on the Yamaha unit . I turn on the tv . -lrb- edit : with the Yamaha , my Comcast HD DVR box reset from 1080i to 720p so rather than reset Comcast cable box , I put hdmus from cable box to TV & Toslink audio cable from cable box to Yamaha , so tv stay 1080us and when need , I switch Yamaha 's audio input to the computer 's audio cable -rrb- . and , then , like always , I change the channel or volume or access Comcast 's on demand or dvr . if I want to use it with the computer , then I press `` tv '' on the Yamaha remote -lrb- because the Yamaha 's audio input be be use with the pc -rrb- . if I want to listen to FM , I press the FM button . I could not get the Comcast remote to control the Yamaha , but the Yamaha 's remote be wonderfully small and simple . performance be great . nobody should expect it to replicate the sound of huge & powerful individual speaker , or to hear surround sound , but it be a wonderful improvement from the tv 's sound -lrb- which sometimes be very good but not always -rrb- . from all source -lrb- tv , FM or PC -rrb- , sound from the Yamaha be always excellent ! I have have it for more than 2 week now and not be disappoint . test from YouTube video , the sound bar have separate leave , center , and right sound . the subwoofer 's bass be very good . the Yamaha 's FM radio be very good . from the pc , YouTube movie & tv soundtrack sound great thru the Yamaha . the Yamaha be enjoyable and fun to use . -lrb- edit : I see Yamaha have a 494 model , on Amazon & Yamaha 's website at they home theater in a box gallery , with 2 rear speaker , but they must be wire as not wireless -rrb- I highly recommend the Yamaha 400 sound bar .
