its confusing and difficult to tell what setting the bar is on because of little lights and sequencing thru them to find setting .....and its annoying how easy it is to max the volume while trying to adjust the settings or when trying to turn off the vizio bar only...poorly engineered and for a hundred bucks not better than my older vizio with a fm radio option and it was only 48 bucks ....

The Vizio supplied remote quit working after about 2 months, and a replacement will cost you roughly $35. If you have Comcast it's almost impossible to get any Vizio product to work with their X1 remote. Vizio's products are both inexpensive and cheap. Inexpensive isn't a bad thing, cheap is. Spend just a bit more on Samsung, and get a far better product.

I am very disappointed with the Vizio sound bar model s3830w-c0. Right out of the box I could not get the cover off the remote to put batteries in. I called 877-878-4946 for help. After trying everything they could think of they suggested I return the sound bar. I had gotten this for a Christmas gift so returning if would be difficult. I took a knife and pried off the back cover and got the batteries in. But now I wished I returned it because of the other problems I am having with it. 1. When I mute long commercials it goes to sleep. I tried turning off sleep mode by pressing power and volume down for 5 seconds but that did not help. Most annoying. 2. A couple of times it has reset bass and treble settings to what I think must be factory defaults. Most annoying. 3. If I by accident I hit the input or blutooth buttons on the remote it takes a few minutes to get the TV sound back on. Most annoying. I have hooked this to a 42 inch Vizio TV that I just bought. It does improve the sound a lot as the TV has very poor sound quality. So all in all I cannot say I am happy with Vizio products. Can you help me with any of these problems?

I thought the sound quality was great! But was unable to figure out to make any adjustments to bass, treble an so on. I went to the Vizio website to find an owners manual, and all I could find was the quick start up guide. I did notice however in the video there is a display on the remote, which mine didn't have. So I'm left with a sound bar I can't make adjustments to. I think you push this button or that button, count the LED lights to figure out what mode it's in? Who wants to sit and count LED lights? Thinking of returning.

Good sound. It's a little hard to determine which input you selected

Pretty good the 1st 2days then the remote quit working.... We'll see how they handle that!

Fabulous sound at a great price. Easy pickup.

Good product for the price. Satisfied so far.

just got it, works good, sounds great

Gave it away as a Christmas gift.
