Essentially, the remote’s Casio-esque digital screen is the interface, requiring you to scroll through it from its small window for everything from EQ and sound modes to inputs and speaker adjustments, with only a column of white LEDs on the front of the bar as an onboard display. Those used to any of Vizio’s soundbars - including its midlevel and even entry-level bars - will be wholly familiar with the remote-based interface employed here. On the video side, the SB36514-G6’s HDMI 2.0a input offers 4K HDR pass-through, including HDR10 and Dolby Vision.
As with the SB46514-F6, this means any DTS:X 3D surround tracks will need to be virtually rendered, but then again, we’ve been seeing so few DTS:X mixes outside of a few 4K Blu-rays that it shouldn’t matter much for most listeners.
DTS Digital Surround and the high-resolution DTS-HD Master Audio are also supported, but DTS:X, the brand’s Atmos rival, is not.

When it comes to surround sound decoding, the SB36514-G6 has essentially the full Dolby suite, including Dolby Atmos (of course), as well as Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD. In other words, it pays to dive deeper into Google’s ecosystem here to get more bang for your buck.
The brand’s SmartCast system utilizes Google casting for Wi-Fi streaming, which also tacks on multiroom streaming with other Google Home speakers, as well as basic Google Assistant commands for the bar through said speakers. Loaded packageĪlong with plenty of ways to play, the SB36514-G6 comes loaded with features - especially for its price point - many of which stem from Vizio’s Google partnership.

There’s also Bluetooth streaming, of course, though “casting” to the bar from Spotify or other apps using Google’s Chromecast technology offers the best sound quality. The aesthetic is more utility than sexy, to be sure, with only the silver-plated subwoofer really popping with any kind of stylistic flair.Īmong the most inconspicuous Atmos setups I’ve encountered.Īt the back of the bar are an ample collection of ports, including digital Optical connection, 3.5mm analog connection, Ethernet to go along with Wi-Fi connection, HDMI ARC for connection to your TV, and an HDMI input to connect a streaming box or other device directly. While the satellite speakers must be connected with old-fashioned wiring to the subwoofer and mounted behind you, the system is easily among the most inconspicuous Atmos setups I’ve encountered, prompting guests to marvel at just how much sound can be coaxed out of such a compact setup.

The final piece of the puzzle, the aluminum-plated subwoofer, boasts a small-but-hefty 6-inch driver inside to belt out the bass.

The dual satellite speakers sport two drivers each, including their own upfiring drivers to complete the “.4” height channels that bounce sound off the ceiling for hemispheric immersion. The 36-inch soundbar (which contributes to the convoluted name) packs three oval-shaped drivers on the front side, two passive radiators, and upfiring oval drivers toward the center. Inside you’ll find a sleek-and-slim five-piece system outfitted in Vizio’s signature silver and black (shout-out to you Raiders fans). The SB36514-G6 arrives in a relatively compact L-shaped box that’s reminiscent of most two- or three-channel budget bars, and much smaller than the sarcophagus-sized boxes I’ve come to expect from other all-in-one Dolby Atmos setups. The SB36514-G6 shrinks the length of the flagship bar by a full 10 inches, but keeps all 5.1.4 channels, Chromecast streaming, and more for just $700. That’s where Vizio’s growing fleet of Dolby Atmos soundbars like the SB36514-G6 come in.Īfter wowing the crowd with the $1,000 SB46514-F6 - which packs 5.1.4-channel Dolby Atmos power for hundreds less than most rivals - Vizio has unleashed multiple follow-ups in various sizes, all at lower price points.
