Hear what you’ve been missing with the newly designed VIZIO V-Series™ 5.1 Home Theater Sound Bar. The V-Series 5.1 offers immersive home theater surround sound, a sophisticated new look and HDMI connectivity for the highest-quality audio. Three full-range speakers--including a dedicated center speaker for crystal-clear dialogue--are all perfectly balanced within the slim sound bar. Also included are a pair of low-profile surround speakers to envelop the listener, and a wireless 5” subwoofer that brings booming bass. DTS® Virtual:X™ sound enhancement adds room-filling, floor-to-ceiling virtualized 3D sound to movies and music. Optional surround modes provide the versatility to play stereo music through the sound bar and surround speakers simultaneously, transforming any content into powerful 5.1 audio; or place the surround speakers up front, next to the sound bar, for more expansive virtual surround in smaller spaces. Voice Assistant Input gives you the convenience of a voice assistant you’re already accustomed to (sold separately) and lets you operate it right through the sound bar for an upgraded audio experience. You can also wirelessly connect your compatible phone for high-quality Bluetooth music streaming. Now with an elegant new backlit LCD display remote control, the VIZIO V-Series 5.1 Home Theater Sound Bar can help turn your living room into a captivating home theater.

- A: AnswerThe sub connects via Bluetooth and the 2 satellite speakers connect via wires to the sub, and therefore are connected to the bar via the sub. Also the speakers on the bar can be adjusted in depth including left/right
Answered by Brady
- A: AnswerThey aren't sharing the watts, which is a bit frustrating. My suspicion is because the number is likely unimpressive. With that said, I wouldn't worry to much about the watt number because these speakers are powerful. Plenty powerful to fill a 20x20 room!
Answered by Erik
- A: AnswerThis Sound Bar has 1 HDMI arc port that intended to be connected to your TV. We'd recommend connecting your Roku & Dish box directly to the TV, and then using the HDMI ARC Out port on your TV to connect to the sound bar. That way all of your devices run through your TV- and there's just 1 cable connecting them to the sound bar.

Q: QuestionDoes it include cables for the satellite speakers and if so, what is their length?(2 answers)
A: AnswerYes, they are included and they are 8 meters long, or about 26 feet.Answered by VIZIO
Q: Questionworks with samsung TV and how many watts is it?(3 answers)
A: AnswerI’ve had horrible connectivity issues with my Samsung RU8000. Optical no longer works, 2 days after the 14-day return period (really BB, only 14 days?!). When it did work, there was a sound delay. Don’t even bother with Bluetooth, it’s nearly useless! You have to reconnect in the menu every time you turn the TV back on. Save your money and buy something else. Worst purchase I have ever made. Money down the drain!Answered by Horrible
- A: AnswerHello EZpo, You absolutely can use the soundbar without the surround speakers attached if you would like.
Answered by VIZIO
- A: AnswerThere are no mounting brackets for the subwoofer. I guess you could mount some type of shelf to the wall and put the subwoofer on it. However, you would then have the wires to the rear speakers showing. I placed my subwoofer on the floor next to couch which faces the tv. I then ran the rear speaker wires behind the couch on the baseboard and up the wall in each corner. There are mounting brackets for the rear speakers. Also if you choose to do that, you can go to Lowe’s and find small tubes that mount on your baseboard and then you hide your wires inside this tube. You can also put the tubes on the wall in the corners. That way almost all of your speaker wire is hidden

Solid set of speakers for a first timer.
This is our first soundbar/surround system, We bought it for 169.99 for black friday and for the price I think it's good bang for the buck. So much so that we also bought it for another friend. The box did not come with an optical cable even though it was advertised but in all probability you would still use it with an HDMI arc cable. There is only 1 port though. The sub is small but the bass is more than ample and it connects wirelessly to the sound bar so you have more flexibility on where to place it. Sometimes we hear some clipping while watching content buts it's rare. All in all pretty good deal

Great BANG for your BUCK!!!!
Easy set up, everything’s in the box you need. Sound is great!! Worth upgrading to without spending hundreds more on Spatial Systems. I’ll be in the dark ages until the prices drop on the technology.

Great Value if OK with Compressed 5.1 Surround
I got this soundbar in order to complete my home theater setup and ditch my TV’s wimpy integrated speakers. Good sound makes a difference to the movie watching experience and I was happy with the performance I got from the Vizio V51-H6. DESIGN The soundbar and satellite speakers have a nice industrial design with their U-shaped textured black plastic and cloth cover over the speakers. The cloth does collect dust over time but can be cleaned with a vacuum. The soundbar is not that tall, but it did block the IR receiver of my Samsung TV so make sure to check that your TV stand is tall enough. The soundbar connects to the subwoofer wirelessly which allows an easy installation of the sub and the satellite speakers. The only wires are those connecting the wireless sub to the satellite speakers. The remote is intuitive and has a little screen that helps to navigate the setting menu. The only indicator on the soundbar is an array of vertical LEDs which help show the volume level as well as the type of audio connection. CONNECTIVITY The soundbar has an HDMI ARC port, headphone jack, and optical TOSLINK connector on top of the ability to connect via bluetooth. HDMI ARC and TOSLINK support only Dolby Digital 5.1 (compressed surround sound) or 2.1 PCM (uncompressed stereo). This means that the best sound that you can get from the Vizio V51-H is compressed 5.1 surround sound (Dolby Digital). In order to get uncompressed surround, you need a soundbar with an eARC connection or an HDMI-in port. You can only send a stereo audio signal using the headphone jack and bluetooth. When sending a stereo signal to the soundbar, you have the option to turn on a virtualized surround sound mode which will utilize the satellite speakers, the subwoofer, and the center channel of the soundbar. In my experience, the virtualized surround is actually pretty good. I conducted a couple of tests playing Dolby Digital 5.1 and then playing 2.1 PCM virtualized surround sound, and there wasn’t a perceptible difference. I had no trouble getting Dolby Digital 5.1 from my TV using ARC when streaming from HBO Max or Netflix, but I did have trouble getting it from my 4k blu-ray drive. I couldn’t force my blu-ray drive to convert DTS-HD MA to Dolby Digital on the fly using HDMI ARC. I would recommend using the optical TOSLINK connector directly from the blu-ray drive to the soundbar if you want DD 5.1. SOUND QUALITY This soundbar is a definite improvement over any integrated TV speakers since it gets very loud without distortion and can fill a large room. Each channel can be separately adjusted to your liking. I personally boosted the center channel for clearer dialogue in movies. The sub is fairly small, but it’s adequate for my medium sized living room. This soundbar is not without its quirks. When watching a movie for example, the audio from the soundbar occasionally lags because it is resyncing with the wireless sub. It might happen once or twice in every movie, but this is to be expected from any wireless sound system. Overall, the sound quality is great even with its quirks. TLDR: This soundbar is a great budget 5.1 surround sound system if you are ok with listening to compressed 5.1 surround sound (Dolby Digital). If you want uncompressed 5.1 PCM, then I would suggest looking into the Vizio M51a-H6.
