Sharp HTSB200 2 1 Sound Bar Audio System
Sharp HT-SB200 offers advanced audio technology and easy setup to enhance a home entertainment system. The Sound Bar was designed to simulate a surround sound effect without the bulk and added cost of a full home theater audio system. The compact model encases left and right speakers, as well as a subwoofer, in one clean unit, for a slim, stylish profile design, ideal for wall mounting. The unit can also be placed on a TV stand (32-inch class LCD and up), with included mounting plates and adjustable feet to straddle the base of an LCD TV.

4 Stars Sound bar
I purchased this for my TV in the bedroom because of its small size. It is small but has a big sound and has a built in woofer. Perfect for my needs.
5 Stars Great soundbar!!!
I love this sleek soundbar. It looks very stylish along with my plasma tv. The sound projection is just right for me, since I do not prefer very loud bsss while watching tv or movies. And, actually if I adjust the subwoofer and bass components of this system, it can be very powerful. So, if you are looking for a soundbar that delivers quality sound within a small package, this soundbar would be perfect.
5 Stars The best sound bar for this price.
I looked at many sound bar systems in the sub $200 price range before I landed on this one. This works great. I use it for music or movies off my computer, but I also use it for my 3 video game systems and DVD’s. This system simulates 5.1 pretty well. Of course it’s not perfect, but what this system lacks in perfect surround sound, it gains in other areas. For one it is much cheaper than any good 5.1 system that I have seen. Second, it is much more portable and easier to set up. Because it is simply a bar that you put in front of you, all you need to do is add power and some inputs and your solid. This contrasts the tedious work of placing and hanging all those little speakers with those ugly wires all over the place. Point is that this works for me. If you’re looking for a perfect 5.1, don’t get this item. But if you’re looking for a good system that will give you good, clean sound, good bass, has some swell settings and can roughly simulate surround sound, then this should be for you.
1 Star Disappointing
When buying the Sharp HTSB200 sound bar I knew that it didn’t have a lot of power.
BUT I had expected to be able to hear it without the speakers sounding like …. I am at a loss for words.
I guess “ready to blow” is a good description for the lack of a better one.
Suffice it to say that this unit would not even be suitable for a dorm room.
However, it might be OK for a closet.
Needless to say, I returned the unit the very next day.
I then bought a Coby DVD988 DVD Home Theater Soundbar System.
(For Less $$$). I have posted my review of it here. Coby DVD988 DVD Home Theater Soundbar System (Black)
3 Stars Sound quality
Purchased this thru manufacturer. Rec’d it several days later and hooked it up to my Sharp 42″ T.V. Hookup was easy as 1,2,3. But the sound is actually no better then what comes out of the front speakers on the televison. For me it was a waste of time and money, although Sharp did agree to take it back.
