Vizio 36" 5.1.2 Home Theater Sound System with Dolby Atmos

The excellent Vizio SB36512-F6 brings Dolby Atmos effects to a compact sound bar with rear speakers and a sub -- all for a very affordable price.

• +

  The Vizio SB36512-F6 is one of the least-expensive ways to get Dolby Atmos. Sound quality is excellent for the price. The compact design includes dedicated rear speakers, and the number of inputs exceeds many competitors with Bluetooth, HDMI in/out and Chromecast Wi-Fi music.

  The sound bar lacks DTS:X decoding, its performance with music isn't spectacular, and the dotted input display can be confusing.

Vizio's SB36512-F6 5.1.2 soundbar system may be small, but it delivers a solid acoustic punch that belies its size. It may not prove unequivocally that size doesn't matter, but it is pretty convincing evidence that Vizio delivers value as well as anyone in the AV business.

Get the Vizio SB36512-F6 if you want an affordable surround-sound system and you're curious about Dolby Atmos.

  Narrow sound field, Bass lacks detail

I was loving this sound bar. Sound was excellent. Setup was easy. Filled the room. Problem is, I was using it to pass through my PS4 Pro to the TV and both systems I had (I already returned one for the same problem) stopped sending the signal to the TV.

Sound quality is goodSet up is easy. Dolby atmos works greatAfter 3 months of usage - With all the software updates 1.2.7.1Powers off automaticallySound Cuts off when switching between appsdoes not work well with the remote , i.e delayed response when volume increased/decreased.

had for a couple weeks and so far so good, great sound waiting for new tv to get here to try atmos

Connection and set up was easy and after the new software update auto turn off issue got resolved.Positioning the speakers to get the Dolby effect took a while to figure out and the output is awesome. Increase center to 2/3 to get the dialogues for daily use.

This audio set is perfect. You’ll never find better value anywhere else!

Sure you can spend over 1k to get a better system, but try finding one at $600 that sounds this good. Unless music is your life this system would be suitable. Buy and enjoy.

We got this system because we were tired of having wires running all around our living room. With these rear speakers plugging into the sub, there are no visible wires across the room anymore.
