    I'm so glad the ARC input on the TV allows for TV Sync. My Verizon cable box also allows for the delay to be configured along with it. There will always be latency with wireless but having the complete system that adjusts for it is key. (other reviews on nearly all other wireless surround systems say the voice sync issues are a pain) you have to know what you're getting into with wireless... Now the thin sub on the other hand, is on point! I love that it's under the couch rumbling you when the bass hits!

    Great sound with the option to really customize your listening experience. I live in apartments and sometimes have the need to control bass levels as a common curtesy to my neighbors. Vizio gives me the options to control the highs and lows when needed with ease. Sound quality is up there as well. Bluetooth option wasn't quite what I expected,but I'm streaming music through my x box regardless. Overall I recommend this sleek bass unit model.

    For the money spent on it, it's ok. The Bluetooth connection deosn't work that good with my projector's Bluetooth. Maybe it is my projector's fault. I will use an HDMI on a TV and see if the experience is better that way.

    Decent sound, but DTS and Dolby lags

    I bought this based on positive reviews, but my experience has been less than great. If any DTS or Dolby audio is passed to this, there is slight, but noticeable audio delay of maybe about 100-150ms (not a scientific measurement). This is just enough to notice lip sync issues in some situations. Linear PCM audio is fine and there is no noticeable delay, but that defeats the whole purpose of buying a 5.1 system. I have tried both HDMI pass through and HDMI ARC with no success (HDMI ARC actually makes it worse because of my TV). The audio sync options available on the speakers can only further delay the audio for TVs with horrible display latency. If you want to hook a gaming console up to this, I can't recommend it...especially if you want to play a rhythm-based game. For general movie movie watching, I think it's OK although you may notice lip sync issues depending on your TV.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Thank you for your feedback. I would recommend checking your TV's audio settings to see if there is a lip sync option. VIZIO

    My sound bar was working well however kljow it seems to not connect well. My setup is correct but it takes several minutes for the screen to work on the TV and I have glitchy issues casting music to the bar. The hidden sub makes it a great buy tho.

    This sound bar provides rich and dynamic sound for my bedroom Samsung tv. It does struggle at times to pair with the tv. Great product for the price. I used it to replace a 7 year old Sony receiver 5.1 and it is a definite improvement.
