Not the product’s fault, but be warned
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Buyers wanting true Atmos height channels — this is 2.1 with virtual processing. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.

No notes
HDMI eARC for single-remote operation and uncompressed audio. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: Wireless subwoofer removes the hardest cable run. Been using it now for most of a year.

Read the fit note, and it was me
The page describes who this is for, and it described me: Anyone who bought a flat television and noticed dialogue is hard to follow. On that basis it has been the right call. HDMI eARC for single-remote operation and uncompressed audio.

Good, with one thing to plan for
HDMI eARC for single-remote operation and uncompressed audio. The one thing to know before ordering: DTS Virtual:X is simulated surround, not real height channels. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.
