    I had difficulty making this speaker system work consistently and finally just unplugged it. The sound was great when it kicked in, but I had to go through an unnecessarily complicated procedure to get it working each time I turned on the TV. It needs to be much more intuitive and automatic.

    I bought this soundbar after reading reviews for different models. I am very please with the features and capabilities of this bar. The size is great, especially the sleek sub. The SoundCast is unmatched.

    I bought this for my bedroom. It looks great, was a snap to set up but the problem I had was that the subwoofer kept disconnecting. When it worked it sounded good. I tried repositioning it so it had line of sight with the sound bar but it still didn't work consistently. I returned it.

    Remote allows audio programming & testing. Once the subwoofer and satellite speakers were properly placed & settings for our living room established, the audio this compact Vizio system delivered was pretty amazing.

    Well, hard to see if working correctly. No diag. test to thump the speakers to see if functional. No adj. of the levels in any of the speakers also. If you want more volume in the rear, forget it. But then I have not seen a soundbar system that has such a thing. Use to my stereo having that ability until it broke. Now have to rely on this.

      Hi dzldan! This sound bar system does have a speaker test that is accessible using the included remote. It should show on your remote display as spkr test and will send an audio signal to each speaker individually. If you would like any help please contact our customer support team at 877-878-4946 VIZIO

    This is a good product until it works. Purchased it around late November and subwoofer does not link to the sound bar anymore (worked for about two weeks (?)). Pairing light does not stop blinking. Tried to reset it, unplugged, and factory settings. Nothing works. I guess I am done with Vizio.

    This Visio sound bat has a remote which has a menu that can change all aspects of the sound from all channels. The 'speaker test" really helps on getting the right sound for room it is positioned in.

    5.1 channel sound bar for this price performs exceptionally well. Wireless option, not including power, made the install easy. Filled the room with surround and great bass for the movie experience.
