Overview
A three channel bar with a dedicated center for dialogue anchors this VIZIO system, joined by two rear satellites and a wireless subwoofer for bass. It connects to the TV over HDMI ARC or optical, streams over Wi-Fi with Chromecast, and mounts on a wall with the included brackets.
True rear speakers are why it beats a single bar for movies: effects move behind the seats instead of being simulated in front. The satellites still need speaker cables and outlets in the right spots, which can complicate a tidy room.
Who it's for
Movie watchers who want surround effects from behind the seats get a full kit with every cable and bracket in the box. People who cannot run wires to the back of the room should consider a front only bar.
Pros and cons
- Real rear satellites for surround effects
- Center channel for clear dialogue
- Chromecast and Wi-Fi streaming
- Works with Google Assistant
- Rear satellites need speaker cables
- No Dolby Atmos listed
- Two power cables to place
- Bluetooth range limited to 10 meters
Performance notes
Surround placement comes from physical rear satellites, so effects locate behind the seats rather than through processing alone. The center channel in the bar carries dialogue separately from music and effects. DTS Virtual:X adds simulated height on top of the five speaker layout.
