    I purchased as an open box with tax was $150. I live in an apartment complex. This gets loud enough for the neighbors to complain.

    Troubleshooted the sound delay with every possible remedy I could think of in addition to suggestions from friends and professionals. Ended up returning it for a different brand and learned that this is a frequent problem with these sound bars.

    We've only had surround sound system's. So we're not sure how the bar is supposed to work. Ir seems like the surround sound only works part time. Idk if it's the internet or what. I guess I should call the customer service for it sometime soon.

      HI Sandee. The surround speakers typically only play audio when it's getting some type of surround sound. If you're watching an action movie with a lot of movement happening on the edges of the screen- you'll definitely notice the surround sound. If you watching the nightly news (with just 1 person talking to the screen) there's no surround noises to play- so you may not hear anything. f you'd like to contact customer service we'd be happy to help! Just go to support.VIZIO.com and click on 'contact us'. We can also help adjust setting to simulate surround sounds. VIZIO

    I'm using this unit in an outdoor, covered, bar. The sound is fantastic for the price. I would have expected it to be a much lower quality.

    Needed it my tv is to load for some sounds and then low for talk. This helped equally out the sounds better and was easy to hook to tv.
