What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing is inconsistent about connections: the feature copy says HDMI eARC, USB, and Bluetooth, while the technical connectivity field lists Bluetooth, USB, and Wi-Fi without HDMI eARC. Wi-Fi appears in the technical field but not the described setup connections. Confirm the available ports and network functions for the selected listing before purchase. The stated 460-watt maximum output and room-calibration performance are manufacturer claims, not independent measurements.
