IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
background
English - iii
WARNING: Exposure to loud sounds can damage your hearing causing hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears). With continued
exposure to loud noises, ears may become accustomed to the sound level, which may result in permanent damage to hearing without any noticeable
discomfort.
When connected to a power outlet, power is always owing into your Unit. To totally disconnect power, unplug the power cord.
Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in re or electric shock.
The wall socket should be located near your Unit and be easily accessible
Keep your Unit away from moisture. Do not expose your Unit to rain or moisture. If water penetrates into your Unit, unplug the power cord and contact
your dealer. Continuous use in this case may result in re or electric shock.
Do not use your Unit if any abnormality occurs. If any smoke or odor becomes apparent, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer immediately.
Do not try to repair your unit yourself.
Avoid using dropped or damaged appliances. If your Unit is dropped and the housing is damaged, the internal components may function abnormally.
Unplug the power cord immediately and contact your dealer for repair. Continued use of your Unit may cause re or electric shock.
Do not install your Unit in an area with heavy dust or high humidity. Operating your Unit in environments with heavy dust or high humidity may cause
re or electric shock.

Your sound bar supports music streaming from smart phones, tablets, and computers with Bluetooth
capability. Device compatibility will vary, see your device’s documentation for more information. Once you
have paired your source device to the sound bar, as long as you stay within range of the sound bar, your
device should remain paired. If the input is changed, the Bluetooth device will disconnect. If the source is
changed back to Bluetooth, any paired Bluetooth device will reconnect automatically.
Maximizing Signal
A Bluetooth signal has a range of up to 30 feet. Keep in mind that Bluetooth is a compressed audio
format, so streamed music may lose some integrity when compared to a wired connection.
Try the following if your sound quality is less than optimal:
If you hear any break-up or disconnect while streaming music from your device, move the source
device closer to the sound bar.
Be sure that there are no solid obstructions in the line-of-sight between the sound bar and the source
device.
Other wireless devices can aect Bluetooth range, including wireless security cameras, wireless video
baby monitors, cordless phones, and microwave ovens. Turning o or moving these devices may
improve Bluetooth range.
Your sound bar is not equipped with a microphone,
so it cannot operate as a hands-free device for a
smart phone.
Reduce the volume levels on your device and on the
sound bar before pressing Play. High volume levels
can damage your hearing.

HELP & TROUBLESHOOTING

English - 37
Can I adjust each of the sound bar
speaker channels individually?
You cannot adjust each individual speaker. You can adjust the volume and presence of the
channel and height speakers. You can also turn the height channels On or O.
What sources play Dolby Atmos
content?
Dolby Atmos content can be found on select streaming apps, on 4K UHD Blu-Ray discs, and on
some gaming systems and streaming sticks. To play Atmos content from these devices, connect
the device directly to the HDMI in port of the sound bar. Always use HDMI 2.0 certied cables.
Dolby Atmos supported streaming apps built into to connected TVs may also be played on the
HDMI ARC port.
SmartCast, Bluetooth, USB, Aux, Optical and Digital Coax inputs do not support Dolby Atmos.
The sound bar is in a room with a
vaulted ceiling. Will I hear all the
sounds properly?
To clearly hear all Atmos has to oer, you will need a at ceiling that is between 7.5 and 12 feet
high. This allows the height speakers to reect o the ceiling providing the sounds that would
come from above.
Vaulted ceilings or ceilings with acoustic treatments or tiles will diminish the eect. From the
remote control select Height --> Virtual for a virtualized height experience. Dolby Atmos content
will be played in Dolby Digital Plus format in this mode.
The system information say the
audio type is Dolby Atmos-Dolby
Digital Plus or Dolby Atmos-TrueHD.
How do I get one or the other?
Dolby Atmos-TrueHD typically comes from a UHD Blu-ray player or console that is plugged into
the sound bar’s HDMI IN port. Dolby Atmos-Dolby Digital Plus is typically sent from supported
apps being played from a smart TV that is plugged into the sound bar's HDMI ARC port.
How do I know if I'm playing Dolby
Atmos content?
You can verify content via the VIZIO SmartCast Mobile app. Download the VIZO SmartCast Mobile
app and sync your sound bar. Go to Settings >System Information to see what type of audio is
being played. Visit VIZIO.com/smartcast for more on the SmartCast Mobile app.
When Dolby Atmos content is detected the audio format LED on the bar will briey appear green.
From the remote control, choose the Info menu option and press the Play/Pause key. The sound
bar will announce the current input and audio format being played.

Binding Arbitration Agreement; Class Action Waiver (U.S. Residents Only)
UNLESS YOU HAVE BROUGHT AN ELIGIBLE CLAIM IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT OR HAVE OPTED OUT AS DESCRIBED BELOW, ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM RELATING
IN ANY WAY TO YOUR VIZIO PRODUCT, INCLUDING ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WARRANTY, A BREACH OF THIS
WARRANTY, OR THE VIZIO PRODUCT’S SALE, CONDITION OR PERFORMANCE, WILL BE SETTLED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN
ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION AND CONDUCTED BY A SINGLE ARBITRATOR APPOINTED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION, IN ACCORDANCE WITH
ITS COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES AND ITS SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER-RELATED DISPUTES. You may learn more about the American
Arbitration Association and its rules for arbitration by visiting www.adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879. Since this warranty concerns a transaction in interstate or
international commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act will apply.
The ling fees to begin and carry out arbitration will be shared between you and VIZIO, but in no event will your fees ever exceed the amount allowable by the
American Arbitration Association, at which point VIZIO will cover all additional administrative fees and expenses. VIZIO waives its right to recover attorneys’ fees in
connection with any arbitration under this warranty. If you are the prevailing party in an arbitration to which the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related
Disputes applies, then you are entitled to recover attorneys’ fees as the arbitrator may determine.
The dispute will be governed by the laws of the state or territory in which you resided at the time of your purchase (if in the United States). The place of arbitration
will be Irvine, California, or your county of residence (if in the United States). The arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured
by the prevailing party’s actual damages, except as may be required by statute. The arbitrator will not award consequential damages, and any award will be limited
to monetary damages and will include no equitable relief, injunction, or direction to any party other than the direction to pay a monetary amount. Judgment on the
award rendered by the arbitrator will be binding and nal, except for any right of appeal provided by the Federal Arbitration Act, and may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction. Except as may be required by law, neither you nor VIZIO nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration under
this warranty without the prior written consent of you and VIZIO.
ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION, IN COURT, OR OTHERWISE, WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. VIZIO AND YOU AGREE THAT NO
PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED AS A CLASS ACTION, A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR IN ANY OTHER
PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER PARTY ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY.
NO ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WILL BE JOINED, CONSOLIDATED, OR COMBINED WITH ANOTHER ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WITHOUT THE PRIOR

Vizio SB36312-G6 Questions and Answers


#1 If I mount this soundbar on my garage will I wirelessly hear it in my house?

Depends on the volume and what is between the bar and your location in the house.

#2 I like the subwoofer for this model, but want a 5.1.2 system. Can I attach rear speakers to this soundbar?

This subwoofer would not have the outputs needed for connecting satellite speakers.

#3 how may watts?

In some home theater setups, users purchase components separately. So a user would need to purchase a receiver, an amplifier, and individual speakers. When piecing together a home theater system in this fashion it’s important to balance the system. Measuring the wattage each device is capable of transmitting & receiving and the impedance of each device (measured in OHMs) was balanced to achieve the maximum sound pressure level (or volume measured in decibels). Typically a speaker that can receive a higher wattage are also capable of creating a higher Sound Pressure Level (decibels). It’s important to note that watts is a measure of power, but sound pressure level, (The measure of volume), is the end result. In VIZIO Sound Bar Systems the components are self-contained and balanced so the wattage transmitted between each internal component is already configured to give you the maximum Sound Pressure Level, which for this Sound Bar is 100 dB.
