I bought this soundbar for my son. He told me it was a breeze to hook it up to his TV. Since it included all the cables for different connection types, he did not have to go to the store to buy the "right" cable connector.

This is a great add on to my 37 inch Visio. Bass sounds really nice. Works with the volume on my remote. Don't have to have tv up so loud. Really is worth the money for how much better it sounds than the tv speakers. Easy to set up. Very happy.

One of the problems with modern entertainment systems is the number of remotes you have hanging around. I bought this Vizio sound bar specifically for compatibility with my Vizio TV remote. Now I can control both with one remote. A few comments: 1. I like the bluetooth capability. We can play music from our devices directly on the soundbar without the TV turned on. Once you pair the device to the soundbar and use it for music, you have to turn the bluetooth off when you are done or you won't get other input sound. It kind of hangs on to the bluetooth connection. This bluetooth dominance is described in the manual. 2. The Vizio sound bar has an option to be controlled by a Vizio TV remote. Setup for this is described in the manual. Once you have done this, it may appear not to work, turn the TV on and adjust the sound. The soundbar needs to detect a volume change to turn itself on. Otherwise works great. 3. I wish the remote had input selection buttons for each input. You have to cycle through each input, many of which you probably don't need, to get to the desired input. If there was an input selection button, like for example "DIGITAL", I could get to the input I need more directly. It would also be nice to have the ability to skip unwanted inputs. I cannot do this on the Vizio TV nor the soundbar. You have to memorize the position of four small LED's on the soundbar to know which input is selected. I think this could have been done in a more user friendly way, like colored LED's or an icon on the soundbar. 4. Vizio support is great. When you call for help, the person on the other side of the phone is a real U.S. based person. They even tell you what city and state they are from. I have called support for other companies that are based outside of the U.S. and not only are they difficult to understand, they have limited authority to provide replacement parts. 5. Installation is very easy. Two brackets mounted to the wall, power and a cable. All the accessory input cables are provided. I mounted my soundbar above the TV. Not only does this allow me to get it closer to the TV (if you mount at the bottom you need to keep a small gap for mounting clearance and the wires show a bit) all the wires are hidden behind the TV bezel. Sound is just as good on the top as the bottom. Overall very good product for the price paid.

My mom is hard of hearing in one ear, and based on where the TV is located vs. her favorite chair, she was having problems watching her daily shows. VIZIO to the rescue! I used the included optical digital cable to connect the sound bar and the TV, powered it up, and it works great. Much better sound than was coming from the TV alone. Human voices are clearer and crisper, and the bass is pronounced. Now she doesn't need to turn the sound up so high, so it's a win-win. She doesn't like having to use a second remote just for the volume, so I will have to find a universal remote that controls the cable box and has a volume pass-through. But for right now, she's very happy to hear what she was missing.

I first hooked this up to my old TV just to see how it sounded using the RCA cables and the sound was great, then hooked it up to my VUZIO flat screen using the Optical Audio Cable the sound was great, only reason I did not give this a 5 star was the Optical cable that came with it was to short for my application so I had to purchased a longer cable and all is working fine, the cable was only 3 feet in length.

I have a Samsung LED 42" TV and thought I wanted better sound. I heard how great sound bars were so, not wanting to spend a lot I read the good reviews for this model and bought it at Walmart thinking I could return it without hassle. Glad I did because I was not impressed with this sound bar at all. In fact my Samsung TV had better sound! It claims ' built in deep bass sub woofer'. Well, not so much. The control for the bass made no difference no matter where it was set. Same for the treble. I never tried the bluetooth feature so I can't review that. It was very easy to set up if your TV has an optical connection - just plug it in. Unless your TV has horrible speakers I would recommend spending the extra bucks for a better sound bar with a separate Bass. As for me, I appreciate my Samsung's speakers much better now.

We bought two of these VIZIO 38 inch 2ch Sound Bars (SB3820-C6). They were very easy to connect and easy to use. The sound quality is great for a 10'x16' room and a 12'x12' room. Added plus is no more startling loud commercials. I would purchase these again as gifts.

I ordered this on-line & the shipping was faster then anticipated. Set up was simple - just plugged in power cord, attached port to t.v., & pushed the remote power on . All cords needed are included, & the guide book walks you right through the set up. Couldn't be easier, & the sound is excellent. The remote allows you to control sound & you can get more advanced with the balance if you so chose. Simple to install, affordable, & reasonably priced. LOVE IT!!!!

I have a Vizio tv. The sound bar and tv echo - the sound does not come out of the tv at the same time as the sound bar and sounds like an echo (that's my opinion). Sometimes the two sound ok together. The sound bar and tv controls sometimes work together and other times do not. It is very irritating trying to get both turned off. The sound bar always goes up in volume but many times does not go down. I returned it after 2 weeks. If the product was not defective (I don't think it was) your research department has a lot of work to do to make your product worth buying or keeping.

Sound is excellent for the size and decibel rating. Bass is very good. Highly recommended for medium and small rooms. Not sure if it would have the punch to fill a larger room, but I didn't buy it for a large room. There is a hook-up for a subwoofer should one choose to add that later on. Installation went much more smoothly by taping the full size paper template to the wall, leveling THAT, and drilling bracket holes directly through the template than it did using a tape measure and pencil lines. You do need to provide your own wall anchors and screws for the brackets, but everything else is included.
