It's a pain to have to turn this on and off manually. It sounds OK - about what you might expect for the price. I actually bought a Polk 10" for $100 on sale that beats the heck out of this one!

This guy is a marvel, like a big stalwart friend, always there boosting the richness of the sound.
Don't know how I ever got along without him.
Yes, this sub-woofer is a male, and probably Russian.
Maybe named Boris, good and loyal.

After reading reviews on this sub stating that no auto on was its only downfall, I purchased a SA-WM500 and am very please with it. For early Christmas presents, I bought a couple of these SA-WM250 for my kids. They are young enough to bend over and press the button to turn it on. Unbelieveable speaker just as other reviewers have affirmed. Just out of curiosity, I plugged it into my voltage tester and found that with no input signal (TV off) the sub only showed 2 watts of power usage. That's 1/3 of what a night light uses. No wonder it has no auto on feature, it does not need it. Just turn it on and leave it on. I think Sony probably had that figured out. If you would like to have the full audio range out of you everyday television watching, just plug this sub into the back of the TV and you will be amazed at the difference. It will handle most normal home theater needs as well. This is one of those few products that you get much more than what you pay for.

I am very happy with the product, for the money you can not bet it.

This is a really nice sub for the Money, Sounds nice and is very affordable.. I would recomend this product to anyone who likes clean sounding bass.. Hope this reveiw could be helpful to all.
