    Should this be merged with https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/472494 ? Same price, but delivery is free from Amazon.

      Cashback makes Amazon AU cheaper, so separate deal should be fine.

  • thebadmachine on 24/07/2019 - 13:29

    Use cashback for cheaper price than Garry Norman.

  • Circly on 24/07/2019 - 14:12

    Sweet

  • d-hunterz on 24/07/2019 - 15:52

    Any reviews on this for a common lounge area?

      I imagine that is where it is intended to be used. Shared experiences on this site are positive.

      • amethystau on 24/07/2019 - 16:34

        Working good in a large bedroom with a PS4 running through it on an old 43" lcd. The virtual fx are abit weird but otherwise it sounds fine.

        • thebadmachine on 24/07/2019 - 16:38

          Yes when I had the YAS-106 in the bedroom I made sure the output from source (Apple TV) was stereo, and only used the sound-bar in ‘stereo’ mode with bass-extension off. This gave the clearest sound in my situation.

      I have one. Depends on use. Overall decent value for money.
      music - ok. a little better in stereo than a streaming speaker (but doesn’t really stream apart from Bluetooth and isn’t portable).
      If this is sole purpose - consider Sonos or cheaper google

      Way better than tv speakers for anything.
      Virtual surround is ok - a bit muddy in open areas. Clear voice helps in speaking scenes with action.

      I bought one a few months ago for my TV which is in the main area of my 1 bedroomer as when you turned up the audio too loud the TV case would rattle. It's been great, I've watched a few concerts while using it and the audio reproduction is miles ahead of what the TV could produce. I don't know why I didn't buy one sooner.

    Would like to know how these bass compare to soundbars with dedicated subwoofer like… https://www.amazon.com.au/Philips-Channel-Soundbar-Subwoofer…

  • montorola on 24/07/2019 - 16:31

    Anyone who has one of these, how does it sound for music?

    Thinking of getting this for the TV but I know I'll use it 99% of the time to stream music

  • Madge on 24/07/2019 - 16:32

    If you are looking a thumpy bass, an inbuilt woofer does bugger all.
    Buy a system with a standalone sub or 2 if you can connect thru bluetooth.

  • wasantha on 24/07/2019 - 16:36

    Just wondering how to use cashback

  • megadeth on 24/07/2019 - 18:03

    Add to the cart. Log in. Then open your preferred cashbsck site and click through to Amazon again and check out.

    • Michaelz101 on 24/07/2019 - 18:53

      Pretty sure your cart has to be empty before Cashback. So login through Cashback and search for the item and then pay.

      • Circly on 25/07/2019 - 00:03

        With Cash rewards you can have it in the cart first. With shopback you need to have an empty cart and then add it.

        • Kingduytan on 25/07/2019 - 07:17

          I had a lot of problems adding to cart before going through CashRewards. I was denied cashback on 2 purchases because of it, and 1 I got the cashback but with a warning from support saying that they couldn't track the cashback but still provide out of good will.

          So… Always make sure cart is empty first.

  • aboutconfig on 24/07/2019 - 19:41

    The link goes to YAS108B instead of YAS108, are they the same model?

  • aboutconfig on 24/07/2019 - 19:42

    The other deal thread says YAS 108B does not come with a subwoofer but can be added?
    so who is right?

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/472494

    • thebadmachine on 24/07/2019 - 19:58

      In the YAS-108’s case the word subwoofer is used to describe the built-in dual 3-inch woofers.
      An additional separate subwoofer can be purchased and plugged into the subwoofer output on the YAS-108 to add more low-end extension.

  • Carpe Diem on 25/07/2019 - 08:28

    Decent soundbar for the price. Just be mindful if you own the Hisense P7, well known connection issues.

  • mousie on 25/07/2019 - 08:36

    YASSS!

  • dts2956m on 25/07/2019 - 09:30

    I bought the Soniq TV on the Amazon Prime Sale this month. The TV sound is rubbish and very tinny, so I hope this works

  • [Deactivated] on 25/07/2019 - 10:10

    Great deal. Ordered, thanks OP :)

  • katz on 25/07/2019 - 17:58

    Anyone use this with HDMI ARC? Work ok?

    Want to see set this up with a Samsung ks8000

  • joed on 28/07/2019 - 09:36

    Have the ARC connection issues with Hisense tv models been resolved. I know many have reported issues previously but I know Hisense pushed out an update recently and think I read a user seems to think it has been fixed?

    Tempted to buy to pair with a 55p6 which is a second set up.

  • Circly on 29/07/2019 - 16:38

    When selecting TV to use its own speakers I get independent volumes between the TV and sound bar. TV remote changes TV speaker volume and sound bar remote changes sound bar volume.

    When selecting TV to use external speakers the TV remote does not work and sound bar remote changes sound bar volume.

    Anyway to make it use TV remote to change either both or just sound bar volume?

    Also I can't tell what volume sound bar is besides listening to it. The sound bar has no volume indicator and nothing appears on the TV.

    • thebadmachine on 29/07/2019 - 17:16

      Volume indicator should be on the row of lights on top of sound-bar

      Turn the volume all the way down on the TV and just use the sound-bar remote to control sound-bar volume.

      Another way is to use a 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable, and plug one end into the TV headphone output (usually on the side edge of the TV), then plug the other end into the AUX input of the sound-bar.
      With this setup the TV speakers will stop working, and you can set the sound-bar volume to half-way (or whatever volume works best) and control the sound-bar’s volume with the TV volume using TV remote.

      • Circly on 30/07/2019 - 10:41

        Thanks for that.

        Does sound quality degrade too much using the 3.5mm?

        I suppose I could turn TV volume down and use the sound bar remote.. Was hoping I could just use the TV remote for everything.

        At the moment I have the settings set to TV speakers. This means when I turn on the TV (speakers stay off) I still get the TV speakers working. I can then turn on the sound bar if required if I want better sound.

        I suppose that is workable… Main thing was to not confuse my elderly mother with too many remotes!

        • thebadmachine on 30/07/2019 - 12:39

          Does sound quality degrade too much using the 3.5mm?

          3.5mm cable means sound will be in stereo, instead of surround. Which will be clearer sounding IMO especially voices & dialogue. (Make sure soundbar is also in ‘stereo’ mode & clearvoice on).

          If you purchase the sound-bar normally you should stop using the TV speakers, but if you think it makes it easier by having that option (to listen from TV speakers as well) maybe your current setup is good.

          • Circly on 30/07/2019 - 21:04

            @thebadmachine: I'll give this a go and see! Sounds promising though.

            Thanks!

    • bamzero on 30/07/2019 - 13:48

      You haven't said which TV you have or how you've connected, but assuming you're using an ARC capable HDMI connection, you may also need to enable CEC on your TV. It goes by different names across brand (ie my old TCL calls it T-Link, Samsung calls it Anynet+, Sony calls it Bravia Sync etc)

      Have a look through your TV settings for something like this and make sure it's enabled. It should then allow you to use either remote to control the volume and probably turn the soundbar on and off with the TV (the TV speakers may be disabled afterwards, or there may be another setting for that also)
      CEC should be enabled by default on the soundbar, Yamaha just calls it HDMI control.

      • Circly on 30/07/2019 - 21:05

        It's an old Samsung Plasma TV. It actually doesnt have ARC but it does have HDMI-CEC (Anynet+ on Samsungs).

        Does it need ARC for this to function?

        Anynet+ is enabled on the tv. When I turn off the tv the soundbar also turns off so I assume it works. However, turning the TV on does not turn on the soundbar.

  • santomaharaj on 29/07/2019 - 23:40

    The price shows up as $185 now. I was thinking the price stays $165 till 4th August…

  • rt1111 on 30/07/2019 - 19:59

    Has anyone got ARC IN going with the LG B8?

  • WV2 on 05/08/2019 - 21:29

    I managed to work hdmi arc with sony tv. I failed first then tried with different hdmi cable i had and it worked. Sounds amazing and great value.
