How to reset your Vizio sound bar
I’m sure you have the same question on your mind: "How do I reset my Vizio sound bar?" The answer is simple: You can reset your unit with a few simple steps and without voiding any of your settings or presets.
Step-by-step guide on how to go about a Vizio sound bar reset;
★ Unplug your sound bar from the power source and wait for about 30 seconds.
★ Plug it back in, but this time, unplug all your other devices connected to the TV or audio player that are not part of a home theatre system (e.g., Bluetooth speakers).
★ If this does not solve the problem, disconnect all your devices attached to it, including your TV or audio player.
★ Reconnect them one at a time until you can reconnect to an audio source that works properly again
★ Check whether the unit is plugged into a working outlet and the volume is turned up.
★ If you have a wall outlet, try plugging in another device with its power source (e.g., phone charger) to see if it works when connected to your sound bar directly instead of through a cable or extension cord.
★ If all else fails, reset your device by pressing and holding it down on its upper right corner for 10 seconds until it turns off completely.
If it’s still not working, unplug the unit from the wall and wait a few seconds. Then plug it back in again. If that doesn't work, try another outlet on your house or apartment complex's electrical system (there may be more than one circuit in your home).
● If that doesn't work, disconnect all your devices attached to it, including your TV or audio player.
● Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and then unplug it from behind the remote control.
● Disconnect all cables connected to your TV or audio player, such as an HDMI cable, optical cable, and RCA cable (for example).
● Wait a few seconds and plug them back in again one by one until you find out which one is causing trouble with the sound bar resetting itself properly.

If you have many audio contents stored on your sound bar, it's best to delete them before resetting. You can do this through the TV's menu system or by pressing and holding the source button on your remote control until "clear all" appears in its bottom right corner. Resetting the unit will not affect any saved settings or presets.
If you still have problems with your sound bar, contact the manufacturer for more information. They can help you fix the issue or replace it if necessary.
How to optimize your Vizio sound bar settings
You can customize the sound bar to better suit your specific listening needs by taking a few minutes to adjust the settings. When it comes to getting the most out of your Vizio sound bar, you can do a few things to optimize the settings. Here are a few tips on how to optimize your Vizio sound bar settings:
❖ Turn off the virtual surround.
Virtual surround is a setting that creates a surround sound effect. It can cause distortion and other problems, so it's best to turn off virtual surround if you're using your Vizio sound bar for TV or movies.
❖ Use the audio jack or ARC to connect to your TV.
If you have a TV with an optical audio port, your sound bar likely has one too. The difference between these two ports is that the visual (also known as "digital") port outputs uncompressed digital data, while the Analog (also known as “Analog”) port outputs compressed Analog data. In other words, both ports can send audio from your TV to your sound bar using HDMI cables, but only one type will produce better-sounding results than the other.
