Setup was super easy - it took longer to unbox it than it did to set it up.
Soundbar has Left/Right/Center channels.. the subwoofer is wireless and has 2 speaker cables to connect to external rear left/right channels.
Remote is neat in that it has a display on it.
A few notable issues:
No HDMI Input -- audio needs to be pushed into it via HDMI ARC (from TV to Soundbar), Optical cable, 3.5mm cable or bluetooth.
The Left/Right channels are a bit tinny compared to the center, so you'll notice a difference in clarity.
Sound is overall very good, and I like that you can adjust the treble/bass. For music, it does a great job filling a room. For the price, it's MUCH better than soundbars I've heard at twice the price.
A couple other notes:
It can be updated via USB drive and firmware from the vizio website, but I've seen lots of complaints online about the most recent firmware update causing issues, so YMMV.
Sound is nice and full, and it can be tuned for those who like heavier bass.
It seems to be limited to Dolby Digital and DTS codecs.. it doesn't decode Atmos, Dolby Digital + or TrueHD, or other more common codecs, and seems to revert to stereo for those tracks, so if you have something with only a Dolby Digital Plus soundtrack or Atmos/TrueHD? It will play in stereo.
It includes a wallmount bracket which is nice. Also includes an HDMI cable and everything else, except for the 3.5mm cable (to connect it to a voice assistant or an RCA connection).
Very happy for the price. I've heard the "M" series Vizio soundbar is better, and seems to go on sale for $199 at samsclub from time to time, but right now it's $300 (twice the price of this)
Would happily pay this much for it again. It's not an amazing soundbar, but it's amazing for the price.
