Great sound

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Amazing sound, the rear speakers make movies feel like the theater. Only negative is that the sound bar turns off automatically sometimes and then when you use the remote or manually power it on it won’t turn on. So I have to unplug it and plug it in again to get power. Not sure why this happens but pretty inconvenient.

This unit is simply ridiculous.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5INITIALLY*☆ I got this item as a compact unit *EXPERIMENT* to replace a 12Yr. old Bulky/Heavy Sony Amp. 5.1 surround sound system that is hooked up to my Sony 51in. 3D TV. I wanted to make sure this item was in service for a couple of months so that I could provide an accurate review and my initial excitement would not bias the review. The only reason I did not give it a 5-star rating was because of the display mode. It is just simply a series of vertical LED dots so, you have to have the manual chart in order to understand the display. *☆This item is actually my 2nd unit. The first one was purchased back in mid-october 2019.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5When I saw the Box I was kind of worried that it wouldn't be loud enough karma boy was I wrong my whole house shakes! Plus it comes with every chord you could possibly need I have never seen a company actually include the court for the device and then some. And the app is flawless.

Excellent sound for the money.
|Posted .Pros mentioned:Price, Sound qualitygreat value for the money. Installed in my bedroom and I was pleasantly surprised at the high quality of sound. This allows me to have true 5.1 sound without a bunch of clutter or wires. Don’t be fooled by the size of 5” sub, let me tell you that bass was bumping, I used the Rocketfish SB mount so it could mount to the bottom of my tv, looks like the sb is floating... k. I’ll shut up great product for the cost!!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Sound quality, Surround soundI live in a condo where I have people below me. This system is absolutely perfect for my situation. It gives true surround sound, and the ability to adjust everything to your liking. This unit gives a very immersive experience without shaking the entire living room (it can get pretty rumbly if you want). For me or anyone in a situation where you want a quality sound experience, but don't want to anger your neighbors, this system is perfect. With the way I have adjusted the subwoofer and other settings, It sounds great and there is enough bass, while at the same time, not too much that it bothers anyone.. I am able to enjoy a surround sound experience well into the middle of the night (usually 3am or better) and no neighbor is ever bothered by it. I have had more high end systems in the past but this system is one of my favorites.

Q: QuestionIs the soundbar wireless? Are the two satellite speakers wireless?
Asked by TEvans.
- A:Answer The 2 satellite speakers are not wireless. They plug into the wireless subwoofer.
Answered by Jakke
Q: QuestionGreat system! My only gripe is that I have to turn the subwoofer on every time I power on the soundbar. There must be a way of making the subwoofer power on when the soundbar is turned on?! Sub is in a hidden place, hard to get to every time to turn on.
Asked by CW.
- A:Answer Make sure you use the vizio app to update the firmware..after the most recent update the sub goes into sleep mode after the bar powers down.. And wakes up again upon power up..

Q: QuestionIf I chromecasted music to this system, will all speakers play or only the soundbar?
Asked by Art.
- A:Answer That's a good question. I had to test this out before I could answer. Yes. All speakers play. Actually sounds nice!
Answered by DAnger
Q: QuestionMy satellite speakers on play the background noise. I wanted this system for a family member who has hearing issues. the thought was to have a speaker close to their chair so the overall volume does not need to be maxed out. How can they play the audio?
Asked by Jake.
- A:Answer The short answer is, they can't. Surround sound systems are designed to play 5.1 audio. The 5 represents 5 separate channels ( left front, center front, right front, right rear, and left rear). The show you're watching will have the audio intended for each channel encoded in the show itself. The sound bar is not capable of re-writing the audio signal to send audio meant for the front speakers through the rear speakers.

Q: Questionwhat is the difference between 2.1 channel and 5.1 channel on a soundbar? Do these two things make a big difference in sound?
Asked by curious.
- A:Answer a 5.1 system has 5 speakers including a front left and right and a front center speaker. It also includes rear left and right speakers plus a subwoofer for a surround sound experience. A 2.1 system is just the Left and Right channel in the front and a subwoofer.
Answered by VIZIOEntertainmentExpert
Q: QuestionDoes the soundbar turn on and off automatically with the TV? Or will I have to turn it on manually?
Asked by Bruiser.
- A:Answer If your TV has an HDMI port that supports ARC (Which is normally marked if it does) then yes. The TV remote is all you need.
