Our only saving grace is that we had the foresight to get an extended warranty on the sound bar through a company called Square Trade, Extended Warranty Insurance - Extended Warranties - Protection Plans. Their warranties are priced reasonably and (so far so good) they are pretty hassle free if you need to make a claim. |
Even if you have a surge protector on your TV it could still be damaged if you did not route the coaxial cable through the surge protector. The same principle applies to telephone lines for computers.
