been using lg bb5530a for 5-6 months

have to say that it exceeds my expectation
+ wireless setup, no more kids pulling cable
+ bd/dvd player in one body
+ much simpler and neat
+ 4.1 (better than tv...lol)
- not actual surround, its a soundbar so more or less
within expectation

hoping it'll last at least 2-3 years, i was quite reluctant
to purchase a soundbar but got a good deal on this one.
one of my better investment so to say

bring your music/movies and audition it out bro

only you can tell which one sounds better.

Cannot found demo unit of NT3. So asking opinion to those who had tested both.

that one tricky,

better you buy one that you have tested and satisfied with.

review online can be a baseline guidance but cannot compare live testing
and listening with your own ears.

Since I read a lot of review from master SSJBen, Finally bought the HT-RT5 from Harvey Norman...

Ahahahaha...

Connecting with my 4 years Old Samsung TV for ARC, only that I got some issue with my TV sometime cant communicate with the RT5 after turn off the TV, need to reconnect the HDMI then, its good to go.

Still thinking, is it due to cable supplied with the RT5 or my few old still working perfectly Samsung LED TV...

Should I need a new High Speed HDMI?

not sure boss, prolly you can test your sequence of turning on the tv or the soundbar and try to simulate or recreate the problem.

then you can find the correct solution.
