purchased an active subwoofer!! GREAT!!. Review by silverback

I'm suprised by the sound quality,of this bar,and I like it .I also purchased the SUB! to go with it,I purchased A sony SA-W2500 SUB to make it complete.for about $99.00 it is satisfactory for a small living room. with the trusurround HD,truvolume features it has fantastic sound quality! I haven't even used the digital optical connection yet. my direcTV receivers optical port has been well used by previous customers,and doesn't fit properly,so i found an adapter to use with the digital audio coaxial connector.radio shack has adapters,I purchased a coaxial to optical module! this will convert audio from the digital coaxial connection,problem solved! PS: I will let you know how it sounds in the very near future. over all,i'm pleased with it,and avcourse music sounds good with the RCA connection to the bar,you can also connect to notebooks,ect.NOTE: you do have to set devices to PCM,and PCM stream for proper sound,but is still good sound quality.it's still DOLBY DIGITAL ,also NOTE: this SUB model,doesn't accept,some DOLBY PROLOGIC II formats,DOES accept DOLBY,DOLBY DTS formates.

More than I expected Review by SaayWhaat

Just purchased the Vizio HD Sound Bar Model VSB200 for $98 at Walmart, after a 2012 Presidential debate with the wife. We have a 55' Samsung Smart TV and I was looking for a sound bar with great quality because the Samsung sound bar sucks and famously known for breaking after a year.

The Vizio Sound bar was excellent so I set the right mood put on a movie with the wife and watch as her eyes swelled up in joy, then I asked her, "Do you want me to return the bar?", she said "you better not it's a keeper and it sounds great!" Man cave victory!

Great product, great sound Review by Ali

Recently purchased the VIZIO VSB210WS Universal HD Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer for my boyfriend for our anniversary and he loved it. The sound is great and pretty easy to install. I was wondering if anyone knows what kind of ipod docking station would work best with this soundbar.

Comcast Remote Update: Subwoofer Codes Review by Rick

For TheShmonz:

Try these codes:
00105 Sub Down
00040 Sub Up

Replace the 5-digit EFC code with those, and of course you'll have to pick a button to assign them to since the comcast remote doesnt have those buttons. You may have to try a few different buttons, i don't imagine all of the remote buttons are programmable.

Glad i could help!

Sounds great/ need remote help Review by Jackie

Great sounding Sound bar. I asked for this for Christmas. Easy setup using the optical cable. Tried programming my comcast remote by the instructions from Rick. Thanks for the tips. The only issue I had with the programming is I can program the volume to either go up or down. I will not do both. Any help will be appreciated.

Excellent choice! Review by Tracy

After much review, comparing, and on the merit of my 37"VIizio flatscreen TV I asked for this soundbar as a Christmas gift t. Opened and hooked it up yesterday and am extremely happy with the sound! We raised the TV up 2" behind the soundbar and I have not had any problems with the remote as I have read that other people have. While my hubby is quite happy with the bass from the soundbar itself, I am looking at subwoofers only because I totally enjoy rocking, Only thing I am wondering is how to get my IPod properly connected. I use an Altec Lansing speaker system to dock my IPod and it does not have an audio output. Vizio manual says to not hook up IPod using headphone output as it can damage to the devices. Anybody have any suggestions?

Would recommend this Vizio soundbar to anyone who wants the sound experience and does not have a lot of room or money!!!

great soundbar for a great price Review by Brandon T

I've wanted this thing for a while and I got one for my birthday the other day. I was very excited and it turns out that this thing is great for the price you pay for it. The truHD and tv truvolume thing make my tv sound so much better. I had speakers all over the room for surround sound and this sounds even better and it's much easier.

And a VERY BIG THANK YOU to RICK who posted above the details on how to program your comcast remote to work with this bar. You're the man I wish I could shake your hand for the trouble you've saved me.

Perfect Compliment to a Big Picture Review by Andrew

Bought this to compliment our Vizio 42" HDTV. It's no secret that the internal TV speakers on 99% of all flat screens just plain suck. This sound bar is a very nice addition. My wife usually doesn't appreciate technology and was skeptical thinking I just blew $90 (on sale)....until she heard it. It makes a huge difference in the overall HD experience.

For those having issues with the remote, here's what you do. Remove the mesh cover from the front of the sound bar. On the far right, you'll see a small piece of foam padding protecting the remote sensor eye and LED lights. The protective foam padding can be "carefully" trimmed away from the sensor. You may even choose to 'trim' the plastic skeletal structure from the speaker cover that's directly in front of the sensor when the cover is in place. Once these obstacles are out of the way, the remote should work flawlessly. I read this 'how-to' article elsewhere on the internet and decided to try it. My remote works flawlessly.
