Honestly, I'm not a connections expert at all, but it looks as if you could use either the digital audio output or the optical out from your PS3. I have read that the Vizio has both inputs, but don't take my word as gospel. Why don't...

I think you should call Vizio directly on this, but why can't you connect the PS3 by wires to the Vizio? By the way, the Vizio can produce 102db of sound with less than 1% distortion. That's a lot of volume.

Yes...that's in the written review as well, and you would have to connect your DVD/BluRay directly to the sounbar to get true 5.1. But that would be the case with most soundbars as it refers to the limitation of the audio output of many...

According to Vizio you can unplug the satellites and then turn off SRS, yielding 2.1. I personally do not think you need sound configuration tools on a soundbar (nor do many soundbars offer it). You can use your ears and adjust levels...

I didn't listen to (or watch) the review, but read the text version. I suspect the larger Vizio will perform better, and is designed for larger displays. It's the $300 budget that inclined me towards the 42 inch Vizio. I think the...

Here's a much better review of the Vizio: http://hometheaterreview.com/vizio-s4251w-b4-soundbar-and-wireless-sub-reviewed/?page=2 I can't help but wonder if the harshness that was noted might be attributable to the drivers not broken...

The advantage of the Vizio is that no AV receiver would have to be bought, subtracting from the $300 budget, and a soundbar with discrete rears will beat the socks off of 99% of simulated surround soundbars. The older model of this...

Sorry. I didn't catch the $300 budget in your initial post. The already available 42 inch variation of the Vizio 5.1 would fit right in your budget. I'm fixated on the larger soundbars because of my 65 inch screen, but the 42 inch...

Well, you might want to post this in the Soundbar thread. But I'm most intrigued by Vizio's forthcoming 54 inch 5.1 Soundbar, which has discrete rear speakers and subwoofer, and Philips forthcoming Fidelio HTL 9100, which also has...
