A: I was able to price match with the $149 price but after investigating I did find that the difference between these two models is the remote. The Best Buy version has a small LCD (?) screen at the top and lacks the "TVOL", "TSHD", "MOVIE", "MUSIC", "SUB", "BASS", and "TREB" buttons. I actually prefer the remote of the less expensive model because it adds functionality and the LCD screen is hard to read and not useful. I've attached an image of the remote from the SB3621N-E8 model.
A: I was wondering the same thing after a couple days of having this bar set up. As far as I know you cannot add any additional speakers. This unit does sound great however you don’t quite get “surround” sound from the bar. If I were to go back I’d get a 5 channel set or the sound bar with 2 speakers indcluded as I feel my sound isn’t so much lacking just not exactly what I was looking for. Recap, no you cannot add speakers, get a 5 channel set or the sound bar with 2 speakers included if you want real surround sound as you can tell all the sound is coming from right in front of the tv.
Q: Will this sound bar work with a Samsung TV?
A: yes. it will work with any tv with RCA or Optical inputs. This sound bar also works with any bluetooth device. This sound bar will integrate with the Vizio TV's standard remote so only one remote is needed for sound. If you use this sound bar with a samsung TV then you will need to use the vizio remote that comes with sound bar in addition to your TV remote.
Q: Can i pair 2 vizio subwoofers (the same models sub) with 1 vizio sound bar?
A: The sound bar does not have the ability to pair to multiple subwoofers at the same time.
A: This model does have the DTS TruSurround feature. To disable to feature change the equalizer setting to Music. The Soundbar has it defaulted to on with the Equalizer set to Movie.
A: On this model there was a misprint in the Quick Start Guide. DTS TruSurround is automatically enabled out of the box. If you wish to disable the setting simply change the EQ setting to music.
A: Yes it will. The soundbar has digital optical audio input that can be plugged in to the digital optical audio output of your television. A small optical cord comes with the soundbar, and it's specifically for TV sets like yours. On your TV, set the Digital Audio Out option on the SOUND menu to PCM.
A: this sounds like you have both the tv speakers turned on AND the sound barn turned on. On the TV settings, make sure audio is set to external speakers only, or internal speakers off (there are a variety of ways that it's worded on a tv). you can simply also check by manually turning the TV speakers down to 0, and see if the echo stops.
