Why is my Vizio sound bar blinking white?
Flashing white lights on Vizio sound bar means that there is some problem with the settings you may have made recently. This problem can be solved only by resetting your Vizio sound bar. Keep in mind that resetting the sound bar will remove custom settings and preferences to their factory settings.
What makes the Vizio sound bar light up?
Vizio Soundbar Lights Flashing Up and Down When you increase the volume on the soundbar, the number of lit blue bars increases. When you decrease the volume on the soundbar, the number of lit blue bars decreases. When the volume is muted, the blue bars flash.
How can I tell what version of Vizio soundbar I have?
If you have not setup your Vizio soundbar and paired it to the Vizio SmartCast App, you can check your firmware version by pressing and holding the volume + and volume – buttons on the soundbar. The front LED lights on the soundbar will blink to indicate the version or it may speak the version number.
What are the blinking lights on the sound bar?
On the sound bar itself, two indicator lights are blinking. You’ve cycled through to make sure you on the right input, even checked the back of the soundbar to verify what number port you’re in (indicator lights work in 2s. bottom two are input one, next two are input 2 and so on.)
