Dolby Digital Light Vizio Sound Bar

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Disclosure: We received this unit from VIZIO for the purpose of evaluating. We own several VIZIO products and have grown with the brand for many years. With each new unit, we're more impressed than the time before. Not only for the quality of the product itself, but the small details that go into the getting the unit up and running. The M512a-H6 sound bar with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X is the latest example. First, I want to point out the sound bar is more than just a bar. It's actually a bar, a subwoofer and two satellite speakers. But even the bar itself is more than just a bar as it includes upward facing speakers in addition to the traditional forward facing feature. This unit includes Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. We hadn't even noticed before that Netflix (and probably others) already support this more immersive sound experience. Technology will continue to improve with each new unit so it's no surprise that it's a step up from the sound system built into a television or even an existing sound bar. But what makes VIZIO products shine is that setup isn't difficult. Units are packaged with cabling labeled to reduce confusion and there are also removable pull-strips over the ports on the sound bar itself. You don't have to have an advanced tech degree to be able to set up this VIZIO sound system. If you're wondering how it sounded... it filled the room well for a captivating viewing (and listening) experience!

I love my new Vizio Sound Bar, for a small sound bar, it's BIG on sound the slim design goes well with the decor, I can't say enough about it, thank you Vizio.

Works as great as the old vizio sound bar it replaced

The new Arc, my thoughts: The ARC replaces the Soundbar and Soundbase, now with HDMI 2.1 and Dolby Atmos support, but is it worth it? The design of the bar is a matter of taste. I want to have an inconspicuous device which fits perfectly under my TV and Sonos delivers it. Design is not really important for me, like the sound, technic or compatibility Setting up the bar: just connect the bar with your TV at the HDMI (e)Arc port and power socket. The rest is be done by the Sonos App and really an easy setting up. After setup I highly recommend to to the true play, cause with the 3D Sound, also from above, the bar will be perfectly set to your room dimensions, also the height of the ceiling. Sound Experience : The sound of the bar is amazing with Dolby 5.1 and Atmos content! It´s a real masterpiece of engineering. I replaced the Soundbase with this bar and the sound is more fuller and roomfilling than the Base, which is also a real good Sonos product. But the bar is a even better. The bar on it´s own sounds really 3D. I normally use my 5.1 (now with the Bar 7.1.2) with the Sub and two Play 1 as rears (yes, they work perfectly as rears), but for normal TV, I often switch off the Sub and rears. Very often I had to check, if I really switched them off, cause the sound was so rich ans "sub-like" and also the behind channels were hearable without rears. Really Amazing this "virtual Sourround", the Front Stereo feeling was also realistic. I´m really impressed what Sonos constructed there. Neagative: The Bar is missing an HDMI Input which is really bad since most TV don´t have an eARC for uncompressed HD Sound, like blue ray or Apple TV. Dolby Digital+ over internal TV apps work very well and delivering ATMOS

Now I want a bigger TV and a bigger sound bar. Vizio products never let me down

Bluetooth was a breeze to hook up to Vizio sound bar. Happy purchase.

I was in the market for a sound bar and came across the Vizio and I couldn’t be any happier. Sound quality is amazing and it’s easy to use

Purchased this Vizio, and glad we did. Picture is great. Sound was good, but we already had a sound bar. Very easy to set up and get it started.

Ordered the sound bar to go with my Vizio Smart TV.. Easy set up. Came with everything you need including HDMI cables. Love the bluetooth option especially for connecting with my iphone. Works well with my cable box remote.

I won this sound bar in a Vizio sweepstakes! It sounds really amazing, I keep turning around thinking something is behind me as it truly gives all around sounds!
