Answered by VIZIO
Q: QuestionWill this unit enhance the dialogue?(2 answers)
A: AnswerWhen looking to get better dialogue from the sound bar, there are a few settings and adjustments that can help. The dialogue typically comes from the center speaker of the sound bar when the person speaking is centered on screen. The Center and Dialogue settings would be the first settings I would suggest adjusting. There is also a TruVol setting, this will help to balance out the volume and help prevent sudden jumps typically found when going to a commercial and then back to the show you are enjoying.Answered by VIZIO
Q: QuestionCan you connect this sound bar to a sub woofer?(1 answer)
A: AnswerIn VIZIO Sound Bar Systems the components are self-contained and balanced. Additional speakers and subwoofers are not able to be added to the sound bars.Answered by VIZIO
- A: AnswerAbout your question, it really depends on the size room. I tried it in my living room before i placed it in my kids bedroom. I realized that it sounds better in their room. The sound quality was actually more noticeable. If you're trying to get something within a budget, its actually not bad. Its easy to install a d when changing settings the sound bar speaks back at you. Your bestbet is to try the same day, that way you can return if you dont like it.

Decent Sound for Small a Set-up.
I am using these as my computer speakers and they are far better than the speakers I had there previously. In general, they aren't bad for small quarters, so using them as computer speakers is a good spot for this. It's not as wide as many other soundbars, and they can be kind of tucked away to give possibly some extra space. Bass is excellent. Rich and full even on the lower settings. Treble isn't as good, but it takes some getting used to with the right bass settings. Sometimes the sound is a bit muffled. I actually enjoy this soundbar. It's not something I would purchase for a living room, but it's just the right size and sound for my smaller desktop set up. However, I would wait until a sale to get this.

Perfect for TCL 43" Roku TV
Love it. I have a TCL 43" Roku Tv and it works with my HDMI Arc connection perfectly. Sound is clear and you can get a lot of sound out of this little guy. It was easy to set up after reading instructions for how to make your tv send audio to HDMI arc instead of out its speakers. And it can be controlled with my roku controller for volume and turns off when I turn my tv off automatically. Could not be happier. Especially with the price. Only downside is I wanted to originally put it directly under my TV, but it didn't fit. No worries though, because being out in front probably helps with sound anyways.

Lots of power built in to this little bar!
This is a powerful sound bar for such a small size. I've paired mine with a Vizio 24" D-Series TV that sits over my treadmill along with an AppleTV streaming device. The sound that comes through allows me to not only hear the instructor in my fitness apps, I can also clearly hear the playlist used during the workouts, which makes it feel like I'm in the gym with the class.
