Vizio SB4051-D5 5.1-Channel Sound Bar Review - HomeTheaterHifi.com

 

The Vizio SB4051-D5 Sound Bar System is a step beyond most inexpensive sound bars. Besides offering the standard three front channels in one neat package...

Very good build quality for the price ; Setup is fast and easy ; Very easy to operate ; Good bass performance for the subwoofer size

An extra HDMI input or two would be really nice ; Support for DTS-HD: Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD ; Support for higher bit rates than 16-bit/44.1kHz for music ; Mid-range performance is a bit flat on music sources ; Bass from the sub can be “boom-y”...

VIZIO’S SB4051-D5 delivers a complete 5.1-channel audio system for $430 with great build quality and provides a huge improvement over a TV’s built-in speakers.

-rear speakers aren't wireless... why can't there be more systems with completely wireless sound? Most of my in depth set up time was in hiding wires. -took a lot of time getting the setup JUST right - but I would have done this with ANY system. -It...

Doesn't work Correctly

 

Well, considering I cannot get any inputs working on the Television not too much in Pro section, other than bluetooth was easy enough to get working and functional.

Tried every single input possible to the soundbar and television and not once did I get any sound from the speakers.

Bass Heavy but Great

easy set up, nice design

sub is too bass heavy and not adjustable up or down
