    This system works great sounds like a big system but small and easy to camouflage. Works great with our Vizio tv

    Sound is much better than TV speakers, and the sub works great, except you have to manually turn it on every time you turn the TV on. Kind of a pain. The Visio sound bar I had before this one turned on automatically with the TV.

      Hello Skip, if you have the VZtv Rmt feature ON you will be able to use the VIZIO remote to turn the sound bar on by pressing the volume up button. VIZIO

    Easy to connect and Works seamlessly. Major upgrade in sound compared to simply using your tv speakers. Not high end but also not high end price. For this price it’s a great value. Wireless Subwoofer and rear 2 speakers really offer a true surround sound.

    Great product. Would have given 5 stars but had issues with set up when using with satellite receiver and xbox. I ended up using the optical link to get sound because I could not get 4k on Xbox with traditional set up. Otherwise, great system.

    We bought this for our media room since we already had a new, smaller Blu-ray player and didn't want to purchase a new one with surround sound. This has worked but sometimes the voices can seem a little muffled. Overall it has been good for what we needed it for.
