Thanks for a very useful video. And very well filmed too, with a steady hand and great close-ups. Also, thanks for not talking about random nonsense for 5 minutes, as so many RUclips authors do. That drives me CRAZY. You cut straight to the chase, which shows respect for your viewers' time. I have vision problems and cannot read the tiny type in the manual, so your video saved me. Within minutes of watching it I was hooked up. PLUS, big bonus, I was able to hook up my iPhone via Bluetooth. My music streams perfectly, and sounds awesome. Movies sound almost as good as they used to sound when I had a surround sound system. The speaker is amazing value for what it costs. One thing - my default Bass was overwhelming. My wife read the manual and figured out how to turn it down.
Thanks for the clear close-ups on how you hook it up! Great real-world tutorial that is truly useful, what we amateurs really need to see. Much appreciate your good work.
Thank you for this. I bought one of these babies for my mommy for her birthday. I think she’ll like it. Again, thank you very much for this video. I really appreciate it.
Got mine yesterday at Walmart for $98 and I’m very happy with it. The other day there was a pop and my TV speakers started sounding very tinny and strange so I decided this would be good upgrade.
Awesome video, funny you made this video today because I just ordered mine about 30 minutes ago! I decided to look up some videos on it and was surprised to not see much information about this soundbar, I did find your comment saying the same and you made one as a supplement for the lack of content. I'm pretty excited to get mine this Friday, judging by your video and the couple others I think I made a good choice, Especially for the price!
With an optical audio cable plugged into the TV it seems to control the sound bar with the Roku remote. In the roku tv settings, look in the audio menu. There are several options you can play with.
@@austingoff5372 Thank you, you just gave me an idea too! I'll use an HDMI input instead as I realize that the opinion for programming the remote with the Vizio soundbar to use the tv's control, is not included in this model (according VIZIO on the phone this morning). Note: my TCL tv (Roku TV) does not have the option that you show to have on your Roku device. Any way, thank you so much for uploading and replying! Stay safe!
mine just came Via UPS and powered up the base ok but I can't get any power to my sound bar and I have tried everything. I even unplugged the base and know it works because of the LED and plugged that cord into the SB but no LED lights , no nothing. I guess I got a bad one, that sucks. thanks for the video
I just got the sound bar and I actually have the same TV you do. Did you switch the sound to Dolby Digital, DTS? I'm trying to get that in to work, but can't figure it out. Need help, thanks.
Thank you for the review, much appreciated. I have a question: can i connect to my tv using optical (for youtube karaoke music), and my karaoke player to aux (for microphone sound) and play both simultaneously? Thanks.
Hey I just bought this and I noticed there is a small popping noise right when I turn it on. It's fine after that though. Is that something you have also?
Can’t say that I have experienced a popping noise. Might be a loose connection, or maybe something internally that would require you to return it for a different one. Or it could just be the subwoofer kicking in.
The placement of the sub really depends on the room. The best thing I can recommend is to move the sub woofer around to several different locations and listen to some audio from your primary listening position and see which location sounds the best for your room.
Hey man I just bought a soundbar, but my TV doesn't have a OTP or a aux port and my sound bar doesn't have an HDMI port, what can I do? I can't seem to be able to connect them.
Kevin Reeves Really just depends on what kind of TV remote you have and if it can learn. I have an Apple TV and that remote has a learning feature in which I was able to point the sound bar remote at it so it could learn the proper IR frequency to use.
There are a couple possible ways but try HDMI from your cable box and DVD player to TV. And then from TV audio out to the sound bar. That should send the sound bar whatever audio goes with what you are watching. It's been a year since you asked this. Hope you got it sorted out before now!
@Desert Diversion Oh man, I wish I knew about the promo before I bought it. But, I opened a credit card with Walmart, and that brought down the price to 71.

While I know I'm late 😅, I just got the sound bar and your video tutorial was really helpful and straight to the point! Thank you
My mom bought one of these second hand. Thanks for showing how the connections work on one of these.
Thanks for the clear close-ups on how you hook it up! Great real-world tutorial that is truly useful, what we amateurs really need to see. Much appreciate your good work.
Getting this ups today. Finally a good, well rounded informational video. Please continue to do this because you're super good at it bro. Thanks
I just ordered mine from Walmart today, and this video is exactly what I needed. Thanks for making it so easy.
really good review. going to buy one for my daughter for her birthday and your review helped a bunch. thank you!!
Thanks dude for sparing me the pain of using the written instructions! Well done!
This was really helpful, my sound bar wasn’t working so I had to reset it to factory settings & it works great. 👊
Just got mine at Sams Club today for $119. Setting it up now and can’t wait to use after watching this. Thanks for the review!
I cannot get the subwoofer to turn on. It was on earlier but won't come on after I disconnected it to move it
Thank you , I just ordered one off your review. You made my decision easy. Thank again.
Thank you for this. I bought one of these babies for my mommy for her birthday. I think she’ll like it. Again, thank you very much for this video. I really appreciate it.
thanks for the review, I was really looking for reviews for this specific model. Thanks!!

How long is the optical cable???
Hi, thank you for uploading. QS:Did you figured out how to control the volume with the roku control?
With an optical audio cable plugged into the TV it seems to control the sound bar with the Roku remote. In the roku tv settings, look in the audio menu. There are several options you can play with.

Do you have either the trusurround or truvolume on?
Hey, i came here from your comment on "ProtonBehz". Good review
mine just came Via UPS and powered up the base ok but I can't get any power to my sound bar and I have tried everything. I even unplugged the base and know it works because of the LED and plugged that cord into the SB but no LED lights , no nothing. I guess I got a bad one, that sucks. thanks for the video
I can’t connect my subwoofer to my soundbar even tho the light blinks 3 times to pair, I don’t get sound
Me neither !
Well no sound is supposed to come out its for bass
Thank you! Your video helped so much
I just got the sound bar and I actually have the same TV you do. Did you switch the sound to Dolby Digital, DTS? I'm trying to get that in to work, but can't figure it out.
Need help, thanks.

Somesh Roy Choudhury I guess he doesn’t answer questions, Somesh. Why don’t you just try it and see what happens?
Mine does not show the corner light on off
I don't have a TV. I just want it for music. If I plug it into the wall, can I just use bluetooth to connect it to my macbook or cellphone?
Lidiya Ivannikova I’m pretty sure you can!:)
Great video! I just recently purchased this sound bar and it sounds amazing!
Thanks. Nice choice of tunes at the end of the video!
Hey I just bought this and I noticed there is a small popping noise right when I turn it on. It's fine after that though. Is that something you have also?

Thank you so much! such a helpful review
Does the sub face the wall? 🤔 been trying to find the best place to put it
The placement of the sub really depends on the room. The best thing I can recommend is to move the sub woofer around to several different locations and listen to some audio from your primary listening position and see which location sounds the best for your room.
Yes the sub faces the wall. The sub opening is the back of the sub. The power cord would not attach on the front.
Hey man I just bought a soundbar, but my TV doesn't have a OTP or a aux port and my sound bar doesn't have an HDMI port, what can I do? I can't seem to be able to connect them.
Return it or buy a new TV. You didn't think this through did you.
Can you make it to where the tv remote can control the volume of the sound bar?
Kevin Reeves Really just depends on what kind of TV remote you have and if it can learn. I have an Apple TV and that remote has a learning feature in which I was able to point the sound bar remote at it so it could learn the proper IR frequency to use.
Thank you so much for your video, your instructions were so helpful.
I wish there were a how to, to tell me how to hook this up to my cable box and dvd player
There are a couple possible ways but try HDMI from your cable box and DVD player to TV. And then from TV audio out to the sound bar. That should send the sound bar whatever audio goes with what you are watching. It's been a year since you asked this. Hope you got it sorted out before now!
Your video was very helpful...thanks
Finally someone who plays a decent, if not amazing, song while testing the music audio... Thanks, man!! Great review!!
You spelt Vizio wrong in the title, which is probably negatively effecting your search results. Thanks for the video
Thanks for rthe info. Went out and bought one at Sams Club. Got a deal I think at $120
Thank you.
Excellent. Thank you.
Perfect. Thanks
$98.00 at Walmart today 11/16/2018.

Great video
Thank you sir
Mario kart 64 has got to sound good on that sound bar. Lol

NoHdmi OK I got one when I got mine today
