I bought this sound bar for a friend after countless hours of research. I don't buy anything without finding the best product for the lowest price. Super easy to hook up. One optical cable to tv (included) and digital coaxial to blu-ray (included). Plugged in sub, satellite speakers, turned sub on and away we went. Had to adjust treble, bass, and volume of sound bar center speaker and surround speakers. Once again easy. My 14 yr old could have done it. Sound is amazing. I have a much more expensive Mirage system at my place and I think this one sounds better. If I could give it 4.5 stars I would because the sub can be overpowered by the other speakers. I have to keep in mind that my sub alone costs more than entire sound bar system. This Vizio 5.1 goes loud enough that you have to yell to communicate with the person next to you. Volume isn't a problem. I have read several reviews that said the volume increments are too large. I noticed but doesn't bother me. Probably the same people that said my Jeep doesn't have enough cubby holes and the turn signal lever is too stiff. Who cares? Not a deal breaker. This is a great system. Get it before they are all gone. I actually had a hard time getting one. Sold out in all my local stores. Had to order online. Got it on sale for $239. Looks like it is $299 now. Hope this helps
I would recommend this to a friend!

Additional Hookups in addtion to TV.

I have a DVD player and a Cable DVR that I want to hookup to this sound bar. It seems the input are limited. How does the Cable DVR and DVD hookup to allow the sound bar to project the sound ? I'm not getting the concept. Do all components need to be hooked to the bar ? Right now everything it hooked to TV via HDMI and I just change the input on the TV.

I'm an older gent, and I appreciate any info you can provide. Not a real tech person. Thanks in advance...
I plugged mine into the tv via the digital optical cable and anything that goes through the tv comes out of the sound bar. Then I have a separate cable going to the blu-ray. Haven't messed with it enough to see if that is even necessary because I bought this for a friend. It is my understanding that HDMI doesn't carry the digital sound signal which is why I have made a digital connection from sound bar to blu-ray.

Does this sound bar need to be plugged into the wall for power or can it be plugged into the TV for power?

The sound bar DOES need to be plugged in to 110ac power to work. I just plugged mine into my surge protector that is running the tv, xbox, blu-ray and dvr
