LG SN6Y

Sound you get a sound bar and subwoofer delivering dimensional virtual surround sound with 3.1 channels and dts virtual x, dts virtual x lets you pick...

Let's turn that on. You got your woofer level, okay, so maybe that's why i didn't have as much bass as i was expecting because it's set for zero zero ...

I'Ve had the soundbar for about a week and i've been testing it with the tv and my phone and it works great.

sadly the newer vizios seem to have more bugs...and also sadly there arent any other brands i know of that make decent 5.1 setups for that budget. you might have to drop down to 3.1 and its possible that the ARC issues are TV related and might be problems on other bars from other brands. The 3.1 bar i can think of is LG SN6Y: https://www.rtings.com/soundbar/reviews/lg/sn6y LGs arent the best sound quality in the world but have less bugs than the typical bar, i personally find 3.1 to be vastly better than 2.1 cause maybe im getting old but i want to turn up the center channel to hear dialogue better.

3.1 minimum, i have never been able to fully enjoy 2.1, that center speaker really seems to help with spoken words which for some reason is always the hardest for me to hear. I was thinking about the LG SP7Y but I'm just overwhelmed. My last soundbar was the SN6Y.

Finally settled for the LG sn6y at half the price and am quite satisfied although the subwoofer could be a bit more prominent.
