excellent! just as described
excellent! just as described! rapid delivery!

Very happy with the purchase
Exactly as described. Our old one stopped reading disks. At least we were able to save most of the data from the old one and import it to the new one. This may say "refurbished", but it looks brand new. Very happy with the purchase.

Unreasonable cost for shipping.
The product is fine. I wanted it in time for a visit by my grandson. It arrived in plenty of time. My complaint is that: Approximately, $50 for shipping is unreasonable. I will be sure and check the shipping cost from now on, before I order. The shipping was a third of the price. Probably, $15 to $20, would have been understandable. If this is any indication of what to always expect, I will not be ordering in the future.

VIZIO S4251W-B4B 5.1-Inch Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer and Satellite Speakers (Refurbished)





or items would be in not so good condition. Let me tell you i'm soo freakin ...
I was scared to purchase this. Reading the reviews, I was worried that items would be missing, product would be defective, or items would be in not so good condition. Let me tell you i'm soo freakin happy I did.

I bought a Yamaha ATS-1030 from Costco and although it sounded pretty good, there was barely any bass (no stand alone subwoofer) and at higher volumes would distort. So I chose to return and find another product in the $200 range. Found this and I am oh so pleased.

I received a big brown box that was somewhat heavy and said Vizio on the side. There was no damage to the box itself. Once I opened the box, I was pleased to see everything looked brand new and packed wonderfully. Not one speaker had a scratch. There was a smaller box inside that included a bunch of different wires, a remote, batteries for remote, installation hardware, and instruction. So my biggest worry of items missing or damaged was laid to rest. In fact, everything surpassed what I was...

Turned My Bedroom into Another Media Room
Have a 55" Vizio smart tv that we love except for not being able to hear the voices in a show or a sports announcers during games. Even with the surround sound function disabled on the tv, voices were lost. Turning up the volume would not resolve the issue, it would just make the issue even more obvious.
Enter the Vizio Soundbar. WOW!
Hooked it up within minutes, took longer to unpack than to hook up. Well packaged.
It sounded great right off the bat. Then when I enabled the surround sound function on the tv, double WOW!
Not only does the center channel bring the voices to the forefront of the total sound, you hear little sounds that were never noticeable before from the small rear speakers. Of course you also get great thumping from the subwoofer so we are very excited about this purchase.

If there is any con about this unit is that watching a shootem' up late at night can be challenging because you have to be ready to turn down volume during...

My Pick After Lots Of Looking
This is a nice sound bar. I did a lot of searching for a way to affordably get surround sound without having to run cables under the floor. Love that it has a wireless sub and satellite speakers. The sub does not have line of sight to the sound bar, but works fine. The satellite speakers connect to the wireless sub.

The sound is great and the sub is more than enough for our living room.

Every so often it doesn't connect to the selected input correctly. Cycling through in inputs again always works.

Yamaha TSR-6750WABL-R Factory Refurbished 7.2-Channel Network Receiver with Wi-Fi Adaptor (Black)





Thrilled by the quality and feature set
I purchased and still own a Yamaha RX-765 from four years ago. I decided to add a second entertainment system focusing on music and "downgraded" to the 6xx series RX-V675 introduced in 2013. The downgrade meant that pre-amp outputs are gone, the front face is plastic instead of metal, and slightly less watts per channel. I didn't really need those upgrades, and the RX-V675 was on sale at a local retailer.

I'm so blown away by all the features added in the last four years, I felt compelled to write this review. First as reference, the speakers I connected in a 5.1 setup:
Polk Audio TSx550t (floor standing fronts)
Polk Audio TSx250c (center channel)
Polk Audio 80F/X-LS (in ceiling surrounds)
SVS PB-1000 (subwoofer)

The floor standing fronts have two 5.25" midrange and two 8" woofers (in addition to a tweeter). I was concerned the 95 watt per channel RMS would not be enough to drive these to uncomfortable volumes. This is not an issue. The...

Phenomenal Receiver!
What's great about it: Dialogue Control!!! Easy Accurate Automatic Setup!
What's not so great: Nothing

Let me make one thing perfectly clear - The only reason I gave this receiver 5 stars is because they would not let me give it 10 Stars. There seems to be a lack of reviews of this receiver since this is a new unit. I had looked at all major competitors and I can say with confidence that they could easily have charged 4x more for this unit.

Have you ever watched a movie like Star Wars with great special effects or a music video with heavy instrumentation and tried to hear and understand what the vocalist was saying or exactly what the whisper quiet voices were saying to each other without stressing yourself to read their lips because you could not hear them! PROBLEM SOLVED! YAMAHA'S DIALOGUE CONTROL insures you will understand everything that is said onscreen!!! Imagine sitting in your seat with your ultra-responsive remote control - your listening to Jedi...

Great Receiver and Great Sound
I purchased the Yamaha RX-V675 7.2 Channel Network 3D AV Receiver and I am coming from an Onkyo SR 602 receiver that I had many years. My Zone 2 went out and I also recently purchased a Samsung LED TV and OPPO Blu-ray player. Since these use HDMI connections I went for this Yamaha unit and all its reviews. Sound is crisp and clear. Picture quality is very good. There is some lag in the sound between picture and voice so it is nice having the "lip sync" feature to adjust the sound however I find that I have to do this many times depending if it is the cable box, Blu-ray player or Netflix. The feature is great but because of the HDMI technology you will find yourself adjusting this lip sync.

I have not tried the Air Play feature but have tried several other ones that seem to work fine. The interface is simple to use. I did have two issues. One, Contacting Yamaha for some help with the Zone 2 feature. I could not get it to work. I did all the FAQ's and called them. After a 24...
