Known issue with Vizio yet they refuse to address it. The soundbar just turns itself off at random times regardless of any settings, including eco. When called tech support, they have cookie cutter trouble shooting and will end up offering to send you a new one, and it will do the same thing.

Wouldn’t recommend this at all. The first day I bought it and set it up static kept coming from one of the surround speakers. I called vizio about it and they said I’d have to buy a new cord after I just bought this brand new. You’re telling me I have to buy something for it instead of you sending a replacement.
Also it doesn’t sync correctly when switching over to another hdmi. I had the tv on and turned my PlayStation on and instead of the PlayStation sound I was hearing the tv..

Sounds good, not great. Volume goes up in steps of 3, annoying little issue. Not good or consistent sound from the 2 outer speakers.
