VIZIO SB3851-C0 38-Inch 5.1 Channel Sound Bar-hooked up via optical cable to VIZIO M3D550KD 55-inch TV-I'm only getting sound on the soundbar itself, not the rear speakers. The speaker test on the soundbar works fine; all 5 are working. Am I missing a setting? I've also tried hooking the...

Hello! Long-time reader, first-time (well, sixth-time) poster! I’m searching for a good sound bar to connect to my SONY Bravia 55” TV in my living room and thought I’d ask around on a few forums. My Bravia’s picture quality is great but the audio is weak. I use my TV for gaming, video streaming...

If it were possible for words to convey the party stopping sound of a needle scratching across vinyl, it might read something like this: “5K” Did you hear a screeeeeeech rip through your head? We most certainly did. Having spent the better part of a year trying to make sense of 4K and its...

Introduction In general, we have come to expect the soundbar to be an all-in-one solution with a focus on convenience and simplicity but with compromises in performance. It is a perfect solution for those who do not have the space, time, or budget to set up a full surround sound system. For...

There’s probably little doubt that the typical Home Theater Shack member desires nothing less than a 5.1 system to feed their yearning for a high quality home theater experience. That’s not to say that we all have the space or the budget for a multichannel system tethered to every display in...

Does anyone use one of those speaker bars for simulated surround sound? I had the idea that I would like to put one under my TV that would allow me to listen to music and have it sound good, without having several speakers cluttering the room (WAF). Also, the speaker bars that have the wireless...

This year Sony is all about quality when it comes to their sound. The market is somewhat saturated with speakers guaranteeing a louder experience. As its signature trait, Sony continues to raise the bar on sound quality in popular forms and they've released what they hope will be the best sound...

I decided to replace my 5.1 surround sound for a 2.1 32" Vizio Soundbar to get rid of the wire mess and clean up my tv stand a little bit from the big bulky receiver.
