Vizio 2.1 Sound Bar Remote Control Manual

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re looking for a sound bar with fantastic and advanced sound continue reading. I’m talking about the VIZIO 5.1 Sound Bar Speaker System M51a-H6. If you’re spending more time watching movies, you’ll be shopping for this unit this weekend. If you want ATMOS and DTX:X audio this sound bar package packs it with nine speakers, yes 9. A great combination of sound bar speakers, remote subwoofer, and surround sound speakers. One more GREAT point to keep you reading…shop, find it, and be absolutely surprised that you can get this quality at that price point. So as you can tell I’m thrilled with this sound bar and my VIZIO TV. Plug and go. It’s that easy. I have been a fan of large speaker systems that take up a ton of room, wires everywhere because I wanted the sound that I thought you could only get from that setup. More good news. All the sound you’ll want you get with this setup. In addition one remote and a powerful remote at that. If you don’t have a VIZIO TV I read that this remote can learn your TV remote to keep you at 1 remote. Total control with the remote. You control left, center, right, sub, surround, height speaker, effects, equalizer, inputs etc. One really nice element is a remote with a display. Makes it really easy to understand and control your environment. There are some cool things I haven’t done yet. I have used by smart speaker to control things but you can also connect your smart speaker directly to the sound bar. Last the accessory package has everything you might need. HDMI, optical, wall mounts, etc. Ever buy something and then need to order a cable or HDMI cable, or something else. They even provided cable ties to keep your surround sound speaker wire nice and neat. Bottom line, you’ll be thrilled.

The sound bar works perfectly with my Vizio TV. The system settings are integrated into the TV settings menu. Also, you hardly need the sound bar remote because the TV remote controls it nicely.

love the tv and performance had issues with syncing up the tv, vizio sound bar and direct tv remote, took a couple calls to tech support but now all is well and we're enjoying it very much

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.

This is the second Vizio soundbar I have bought. First one was a 2.1. This one is the bomb!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve been experimenting with settings on the LG Sound Bar for about a week. Some of this was done blind because LG, like many companies, includes one page of very basic instructions. I found days later (in tiny type) it was my responsibility to download and print a user’s manual. On the remote some buttons are poorly labeled, others are not labeled at all, and we couldn’t find how to adjust sound up or down until I printed the manual. A black-on-black button (not helpful in semidarkness) which I would use probably more than anything else needs to have a color like other buttons. We tried using both optical and bluetooth connections, and there is a tremendous difference in what those options offer. With bluetooth, you use the TV remote to “accept” the sound bar prompt and can adjust sound up or down using that same remote. It also shows the sound level numerically which is helpful. With optical, it automatically turns on the sound bar when the TV is activated, but adjusting sound is done using the LG remote which has that black-on-black button, and no numerical level is displayed on the TV. Our preference is using bluetooth as it’s fewer remotes to deal with. In terms of sound, there is a huge difference between what we had before and the LG. You can adjust settings for more or less bass, and you really hear the difference with increased bass. It adds richness that is wonderful. Acting dialogue is crisp and clear. When music is played during a movie the symphonic effect is incredible. The range is terrific too. Having great sound brings another layer of enjoyment to watching movies. Since I just printed the manual yesterday we haven’t fully explored everything this sound bar can do yet. However, at this point, I would recommend the LG Sound Bar for the amazing quality of sound that it delivers.

I purchased the Vizio 5.1 after returning another highly rated brand 2.1 soundbar. The difference was immedately audible, even to my wife who does not much care for sound systems. What was particularly improved was the clear voice and of course the surround effect with the 2 extra speakers. Besides being excellent sound and a lot of flexibility in the setup with the remote control device, this was a bargain compared to the price of other poorer sounding sound bars. I highly recommend the Vizio 5.1-H6. Don't let the Vizio name discourage you. Vizio has made tremendous strides in speaker technology and it shows in this Sound Bar.

Works as great as the old vizio sound bar it replaced

This sound bar is easy to setup and simple to control. The remote makes it so easy a cave man could do it. Movies with the surround sound and my 55 tv feels like it's a movie theatre! Some of my favorites to watch are Inception, The Dark Knight, and, American Sniper. Good bang for your buck too, highly recommended!

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