I could not get it connected to my television.No optical cable point on the subwoofer.No bluetooth connection.The system itself looked very nise.Just wished I could of heard it play.So returned the system direct to the company in Germany.They were very good about repaying my money back. Very courteous and if I so something from there company again I would buy. It's because of there polite and sleepiness of repayment that I've given 3 stars. Who knows what I could have been if it had worked.

Had a problem at first but company was most helpful, has a nice rich sound but cables are a little short and had to extend them.

not on stock

I think I'm a pretty good judge of sound quality, having a fairly expensive LG 9.1 surround home cinema system as well as this Auna system. The LG system was literally 10x the price but the difference in audio isn't that far apart - especially at normal TV/movie listening volumes. I've spent a good amount of time listening carefully to the sound from this system and I can conclude that the bass is very impressive, deep but also punchy. The treble is incredibly clear and crisp. Mid-range, voice and speech are good also. There's no unwanted vibration or distortion. If you're using a stereo input, the system can make up surround channels that really add to the depth of the sound. Overall incredibly impressed that a sound system at this price can sound so good.

My remote does not control the left speaker's volume. When the right speaker volume button is pressed on the remote control the right speaker volume is altered but when the left button is pressed the right speaker's volume is once again altered. There are no keys on the remote that when pressed alter the volume of the left speaker. I've checked all wires for problems and there are none. Also, the system is not stereo, since every sound comes from every speaker at the same time. I already possess a 35 year's old surround system. On that, if a plane circles an airport, that plane circles my room because the sound travels from the front right to rear right to the rear left and then to the front left speakers, progressively. On this system, the plane hovers like an Helicopter in the middle of my room because, all sounds are generated at the same time through all five speakers. All it appears this company has done is provide me with a mono amplifier, through which five speakers have been connected. The sound quality is superb BUT it is NOT STEREO or SURROUND.The remote control has labels which tell the user that to control the right speakers, the left buttons have to be pressed and vice versa. What a VERY FOOLISH remote control that is. It means I HAVE TO THINK what buttons to press on it and it's for that reason alone that it took me several days to realise that the remote control did not control the left front speaker.There is a SLEEP control on the remote, which is not explained anywhere in the instruction manual. I do not know what this does. It does something because with each press a red light blinks on the controlling box. You guys probably will know what this does because all current audio systems have this. Elderly, I've not a clue because no audio system I possess has this function.The instructions say the Sub Woofer must be placed on the floor BUT this device has the ON/OFF switch on the back of it, underneath where all the wiring is located. This means that I have to get on all fours to turn off the equipment because this switch is difficult to locate. An elder man having to get down on all fours just to turn off equipment and I need to turn it off because on standby a very bright blue light constantly blinks.. How foolish is that?. I'll update this review when I get admitted to hospital because my heart will fail with constantly having to do this (JOKE)..Finally, the standby light is so bright, I could not believe it only needs 0.5 watts, as detailed in the manual and it does not because I plugged it into an energy consumption tester and it guzzles 24 watts. Providing false information in Germany might be allowed but in Britain, this is a crime!All things considered I am annoyed with this purchase,. It is most definitely not suitable for an elder person to own and I am seeking a refund from the seller.

This is a great little system considering the price but be aware it is not what is pictured on the Amazon page.The one pictured seems to have radio reception built in, the one you will receive does not?Otherwise, I am very happy with it.

not bad sound and for the price is not bad at all..
