Experience Powerful Home Theater Audio with the VIZIO SB3651-F6 36” 5.1 Channel Surround Sound Bar

Bort: I think this is a great sound system for the price. Sound quality is an extreme improvement over default tv speakers. My main issue is with connection issues. The sound bar turns off automatically when not in use, but sometimes it turns off when in using certain apps on my smart tv. It's an easy fix, but it gets pretty annoying. Also, I've had a heck of a time trying to use the Bluetooth setting with my smartphone. It worked great for a while, but now every time I try to use it, it's super choppy and unlistenable. I've tried to reset it and find anything that could be interfering with the signal, but had no success.

Ricardo Pereira: Value for money guaranteed - the soundbar is compatible up to Dolby Surround Plus. Just be careful with the TV you have. I have a Panasonic that unfortunately does not passthrough 5.1 channels from the other HDMI devices. 5.1 from the Panasonic TV works when I use i.e. it's native Netflix (instead of my my Google TV dongle). This is making me need a new TV or workaround such as a slitter. I could use the HDMI in from the soundbar to the TV instead, but it only outputs 1080p and I think you loose HDR, plus it only has one HDMI in, so not good for multi devices. To the only HDMI in I have my PC connected and I'm happy nevertheless. Best really is making sure you have a TV that does proper surround passthrough. And in any case, you will definitely get value for money.

Stephen Kingerski: I was a bit hesitant because of the price point of this system. Sound bar with wireless connection to the bluetooth speaker, which is wired to the rear satellite speakers. All for a decent price? YES! This isn't a "Review for an Amazon Gift Certificate" and I rarely take the time to review... but I wanted to let people know that this system is really worth it. Easy setup with LOUD and CLEAR sound. Maybe the audiophiles would go for a higher end system, but for a standard, easy-to-use 5.1 system this is a perfect balance between price and quality. I would order it again in a heartbeat and I'm recommending it to everyone! Don't wait for Black Friday sales.. this system is AWESOME!

Rebecca: Full disclosure - I'm Rebecca's dad, not Rebecca, and this is my soundbar.

My main entertainment center includes a Denon 5.1 receiver with Bose front speakers, Sony mid & rears, and a Yamaha powered subwoofer. I wanted my other TV to have better sound than the cheesy built-in speakers, but in a simpler and cheaper sound package. After much research, I decided to bet on the Vizio 3651.

What's in the box? There's a 36" long soundbar that connects to your TV either via HDMI or an optical cable. There's a wireless powered subwoofer with a 4" speaker. And there are two small surround speakers that connect to the subwoofer via RCA cables. There's a remote to control the system. And there are all kinds of wires for connecting everything to everything else - everything you need for any imaginable connectivity is included.

How is setup? Pretty easy, actually. Plug in the soundbar & connect it to your TV and you're on your way. Plug in your subwoofer, connect the surround speakers, and turn on the TV. You're pretty much there. The rest is a matter of using the remote to get the sound balance dialed in to your taste. It took me about 15-20...

Jorge @: Estoy impresionado con la relación prestaciones/precio de este aparato.

Si quieres saltarte el texto ve a los pros y contras.

Me encanta ver películas con un sonido y video decente, tengo o he tenido equipos de diferentes modelos de klipsh, bose, samsung, Logitech.

Antes de decidirme por este home theater probé equipos de bose, samsung, lg en el mismo rango de precio y no se acercan a las prestaciones que vizio logra.

El sonido es de calidad muy decente, tiene muy buena definición en los rangos medios y altos, con una buena colocación el subwoofer hace bien su trabajo sin llegar a hacer retumbar los vidrios. Para escuchar música es un sonido cálido y sin distorsión si no se exagera el volumen. En películas el sonido es claro y obedece bien a los efectos en cuanto se requiere. Llena muy bien una sala de ~5x5.

El punto que mas me agrado es la conectividad. Gracias al HDMI-ARC con un solo cable al home theater puedes escuchar todo lo que veas en la tele (cable, blu ray, aplicaciones smart, etc.). Pero si lo requieres cuenta con entrada HDMI, Optica y de Coaxial Digital. Además te incluye 1 cable de cada uno. (La Tv debe...

YSiLdOR: Esta es una excelente barra de sonido. Básica, sin funciones extraordinarias pero sin problemas y sin equidad a deber nada. Gracias a su entrada HDMI ARC prácticamente no la toco, enciendo la TV y enseguida se enciende la barra y uso el control de la TV para subir y bajar el volumen. Si la enciendo aparte en un santiamén se vincula al bluetooth del celular. Básicamente no me conectó con cables nunca a ella, pero los probé para ver que funcionaran y todas las conexiones funcionan de maravilla. El sistema de sonido en 5.1 canales depende del contenido que se reproduzca, cuando es compatible, la experiencia es inmersiva y fiel. La calidad del audio no deja mucho que desear, quizá la potencia no sirva para amenizar una fiesta, pero no es la función que una barra de sonido tiene. Si eres más de reuniones sociales no muy concurridas puedes librarla a la perfección.

Beloved: The soundbar and rear speakers are really impressive. They were super easy to install, and they come with every cable for what I would think is every possible audio input option a person can realistically want (optical, hdmi arc, aux, rca, etc...). The bass is very good (can easily get way too loud). You may have to change your settings, which I highly recommend you toy around with, this is best done using the vizio smartcast app.

My settings go between music and movie EQ mode, where I like as follows:
Bass 4.
Treble 2.
Center 8.
Surround volume 12 (this really makes your rear speakers kick in for basically every type of content).
Surround balance 2 (slightly boost the right speaker due to seating arrangement, but leave at 0 for centered seating, -1 and onward is for the left rear speaker).
Subwoofer 3-5.
Truvolume set to on (just normalizes audio volumes across all content I believe, so like a commercial won't be louder than a program you're watching.)

As for a stand, I think the Atlantic PN77305018 is the best you can get for Vizio speakers. Someone had mentioned them here, and they're great. They are large enough to easily...
