...as I expected it to be, but not better than Dummy or their self-titled album. Some of the tracks are annoying but that's how the other albums are. Can't please everyone all the time.

Not PC Friendly
Good music but uses CD Extra and Macromedia. Does not play on my PC. I would not have purchased this CD if I had known it was distributed by Sony. I can only listen to it in my car!

VIZIO SB36512-F6 36" 5.1.2-Channel Soundbar System - Black
Apr 19, 2021
Great sound but needs a better remote.
This is my first soundbar so I'm not able to compare with ither brands. I bought this soundbar because I have an old tv with digital coax (RCA) output. All the reviews including Vizio's website says it has a coax input. IT DOESN'T. It has hdmi in, hdmi out (with 1080 passthrough, not 4K), optical toslink, and a 3.5mm aux. So I only use the soundbar with my cable box. No computer or game consoles.
Setup is confusing. I downloaded the SmartCast app but it can't find my soundbar. The app also can't find my router. It only shows somebody else's unsecure router nearby. The instructions were useless but setting up the Bluetooth was easy... Just use the remote to activate Bluetooth then search for it on your phone. After the Bluetooth was connected it finally started playing audio from the hdmi source (I have no idea why) and it's easy to cycle through the inputs and play music from my phone. I have not yet tried to control the soundbar using my xfinity remote. Turning the soundbar off/on causes my tv to restart the hdmi handshake but there doesn't seem to be any problems.
The soundbar detects the subwoofer automatically and the surrounds use wired connections... to the subwoofer box. I'm only using it for 3.1 but I assume the rear surround speakers should work as expected. Just a note in general... rear channel audio usually isn't as loud as the center and fronts. So don't be surprised if they feel quiet. Even if you're just listening to 2.0 (stereo) music the soundbar might not treat them as mains. I should plug them in and test but I'm not really interested, especially since I wouldn't be able to isolate them by muting the other speakers.
EDIT: There actually are separate volume controls for the subwoofer, surrounds, and center channel along with bass, treble, and preset EQs. The remote actually controls a lot of settings but the display us too simple. You have to scroll through the remote's 1-line menu and make adjustments while paying attention to the indicator lights on the bar.
So, with my limited soundbar experience and limited number of hdmi sources (just one), I'm satisfied but it's hard to say if I'd recommend to anyone else. I bought it used so maybe there was another instruction manual that I'm missing. I like it for the price and it saves a lot of space compared to using my Denon AVR, regular speakers, and 12" sub.
