This is a very nice product.
The form factor is less obtrusive than the standard sound bar. The set up was very simple. The TV recognized it and immediately
worked. Bluetooth pairing was seamless
and also very easy. The sound is
surprisingly vibrant. I was shocked at
how good the bass was. The remote is
simple to use and the documentation was adequate. Overall my impression is quite good at $266.00 it isn't the cheapest solution for the lousy sound most flat screen TVs have but it is a good one.
Follow up, I wanted to program my universal remote with the code for the S2121w-D0. Imagine my surprise when I could find zero documentation on-line under any Vizio site I could find. The product comes with a quick start guide that works fine but...nothing advanced. So I called and got a delightful young woman who tried her best to help me but to her surprise she could find no documentation for this model either. I am aware it is a new product but that means it should be more important to have proper documentation available. I had to knock this down one star due to lack of documentation. The customer service rep, provided me with the codes for their other sound bars and I will try those and report back here on my results.
2nd follow up, I was unable to get the sound stand to respond to the Fios remote. I tried multiple solutions to no avail. I then had to reprogram the Fios remote for my Yamaha sound bar

2nd follow up, I was unable to get the sound stand to respond to the Fios remote. I tried multiple solutions to no avail. I then had to reprogram the Fios remote for my Yamaha sound bar
and that was a 5 minute task with the documentation that accompanied the Yamaha. Vizio may be able to do it but with out documentation, you couldn't prove it by me. If you can deal with the pain of having to turn up the volume and turn on the sound stand with it's own remote, the sound is quite nice but the inconvenience turns me off.
