The good: Sound bar home theater system; wireless subwoofer; solid sound quality, even with music; easy-to-use remote control; three inputs (two optical, one analog).
The bad: No HDMI connectivity; lackluster styling.
The bottom line: JVC's TH-BA1 sound bar home theater system is affordable, easy to use, and sounds better-than-expected, but doesn't offer HDMI connectivity.

Summary: Got one home and set it up using the analog cables that I have (didn't have any in the box) and went through the set up and nothing. Tried to get it to work for about 30-40 minutes and could nit get a peep out of the darn thing. Getting frustrated, I called the help line. Not much help, 45 more minutes on the phone and did everything the person on the other end told me to do (turnoff TV speakers, connect to the cable box, etc. etc) then got upset when I refused to connect to another DVD player. I will be returning it, and I will try the Pyle Soundbar instead.

Easy setup and sounds good
by geefell on June 22, 2010
Pros: This was extremely easy to setup. The controls are easy to understand and use, either through the remote or directly from the unit. Sounds outstanding in a smaller room.
Cons: Somewhat bulky in front of plasma sitting on TV stand. As noted elsewhere, looks are not what this unit is about. Could use some more 'oomph' from the subwoofer.
Summary: I found a smokin' deal online ($90 less than anywhere else I found) that I couldn't pass on, and I'm very happy with the result. The soundbar sounds ...

Summary: I found a smokin' deal online ($90 less than anywhere else I found) that I couldn't pass on, and I'm very happy with the result. The soundbar sounds heads and tails above any TV speaker, and the functionality to control the center, sides, and sub channels independently makes this a great addition to my TV watching.
Setup was a breeze, including connection from my DVR and PS3. The wireless sub does not have any feedback noise, but could use a little more power when the volume goes up

Summary: This is my first home home sound system and I'm very, very happy with it. My son has a home theater system with lots of speakers and wires that he has set up around his bedroom. It sounds nice but I really, really didn't want the complexity of trying to set something like that up in my living room. The sound bar approach was a perfect option and this JVC TH-BA1 with the wireless subwoofer is exactly what I needed. I absolutely love the easy set up and the remote control. It is also very affordable so I will be buying a second one for my bedroom.

- Manufacturer: JVC
- Part number: TH-BA1
- Description: The TH-BA1 is a soundbar system that features a low-profile 4.1-channel front surround soundbar and wireless subwoofer. This system combines sleek design and simple setup with performance that delivers clear dialog and convincing surround sound. The sound bar is configured to fit neatly under a TV or can be wall-mounted. Its front surround technology eliminates the need for rear speakers and the placement problems, clutter and extra wiring that comes with them. A single cable connects the sound bar to a source (DVD or Blu-ray player) or TV via each systems' two digital optical inputs and one analog input. And to further simplify setup, the included subwoofer is wireless.
