    Sound quality on this is great for the price, but even at low volumes the bass can be overwhelming. Also the satellite speakers are outperformed by the sound bar, which dampens the experience. All in all, great value for the price!

    Bought this Vizio Smartcast sound bar system to go with my Vizio Smartcast TV. The Geek Squad installed both. It sounds great when it works, but the sound bar system shuts off after about 4 hours. It constantly happens. No one seems to have a solution. Best Buy employees are no help and Geek Squad so far can't resolve it. Very unhappy.

    My wife and I bought this for my in-laws. Father in law has slight hearing loss and sits really far away from the television. I hooked this up and found we didn't even need the surround speakers since it's so loud. Sound quality is about what you'd expect from a mid-level soundbar. Connection between the soundbar and sub was quick and easy with no problems.
