Q: Why can't my Apple TV learn this Sony Soundbar for Volume Control?
A: We had a very difficult time getting this sound bar to work. Best Buy replaced our first one as they thought it was defective, but we couldn’t get the second one to work either. We even paid $99.99 to have the Geek Squad install it and they could not get it to work either so they decided there was a problem with the TV and ordered us a replacement TV. A friend came over to help us set up the second TV and still couldn’t get the sound bar to work. So we called Sony directly and after an hour on the phone the tech found the problem in the TV settings. Some obscure setting needed to be set differently. Then presto, everything worked! So call Sony directly to get yours to work with your TV.
Q: Can you adjust the base and travel individually
A: Base is adjustable, treble is not.

The Bose TV Speaker is a small soundbar that clarifies speech and improves overall TV sound. Inside there are two full-range drivers angled to deliver wide, spatial sound, while the center tweeter specifically focuses on clarifying speech. And built-in Dolby decoding enhances the audio capabilities of your TV Speaker to deliver a more realistic and satisfying listening experience. Designed with simplicity in mind, a single connection to your TV has you up and running in no time. This connection can be either an optical audio cable (included) or an HDMI cable (sold separately). At just over 2″ (5 cm) tall, this TV Speaker is small enough to fit just about anywhere. Place it in front of your TV or mount it to the wall. Plus small LED lights on the front turn on and/or change color when certain features are enabled or when the volume is adjusted. The Bose TV Speaker also has HDMI-CEC, which allows the TV and soundbar to communicate when connected by an HDMI cable. So when you turn the TV on, the soundbar will automatically turn on too, and you can even continue using your current TV remote to control the volume of the soundbar. However, the Bose TV Speaker also has its own remote. On it, you can pair your Bluetooth device to wirelessly stream your favorite music or podcasts, enable Dialogue Mode to further elevate center vocals, or add a bass boost for some extra depth. And the Bose TV Speaker is Roku TV Ready certified. Meaning, it’s designed to work seamlessly with a Roku TV. When connected to a Roku TV via an HDMI cable, you’ll enjoy smooth, automatic setup, easy access to the TV Speaker sound settings in the Roku TV on-screen menu, and compatibility with the Roku TV remote. If you’re looking for even more bass or just want to expand your system, you can add a subwoofer for more theater-quality home theater sound. The Bose TV Speaker requires a wired connection and is compatible with the Bose Bass Module 500 or 700 (Bose Bass Module Connection Cable sold separately).

When movies, TV, and music are your passion — you don’t want to just watch. That’s why there’s the Bose Smart Soundbar with shockingly immersive sound for its size. Dolby Atmos, proprietary TrueSpace technology, and upward firing transducers work together to intelligently analyze and separate instruments, dialogue, and effects, then place them throughout the room. Even overhead. It’s a captivating sound experience that goes beyond simply watching. A.I. Dialogue Mode automatically balances voice and surround sound for ultra-crisp vocal clarity.

Discover 3.1.2ch spatial sound with the BRAVIA Theater Bar 6. Up-firing speakers, a dedicated center channel speaker, and support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X will surround you with expansive sound and clear dialogue. The included subwoofer adds deep, powerful bass, letting you feel the rumble in every scene.

I’ve tested multiple brands, but this one stands out for its balanced sound and rich bass. This is hands-down the best soundbar I’ve ever owned! The sound quality is phenomenal—crystal-clear dialogue, powerful bass, and immersive surround effects that make every movie feel like a theater experience. The sleek design fits perfectly under my TV, and setup was effortless with HDMI ARC. Wireless streaming works flawlessly, and the included subwoofer adds incredible depth. For the price, it outperforms many high-end systems. Highly recommend!

This little guy made a huge difference! I set this up for a non technically inclined familiar member and it was pretty straight forward since the TV we were using it on had an arc connection. An arc connection makes it a breeze IMO because you can use your existing cable remote or television remote instead of having to always reach for an additional remote for volume, power, etc. This soundbar also has an optical connection you can use if you do not have an arc HDMI connection on your television. Before setting this up the sound from the Samsung TV was very tinny and the speakers on the TV were pretty much blown out from years of use and the bass especially was very irritating. At first after setting it up I was worried because it didn't sound good, but in addition to setting up the exterior speaker on the Samsung's sound menu I actually had to also hit the "reset sound" option because for some reason it sounded bad before that. Once I luckily figured that out we were off to the running and the thing sounds great. It's a huge improvement not just in sound quality but also with nice bass and most importantly a vastly improved voice performance as this sound bar was developed with a an extra center channel specifically for voice enhancement. Music sounds great and the voice is extremely clear and it really fills up a larger size room. We didn't opt to get the additional subwoofer at this point in time since we have the bass level to 3 (Max level on this device) and like mentioned above it packs enough punch. I was able to purchase this on a great Best Buy promotion that was taking 200 dollars off but even at full price it's a quality item from a quality brand that you could trust. I prefer Sony over most of these newer brands since I have never had issues with their products. So to reiterate, this soundbar is an extremely excellent addition to your viewing experience and I'm even thinking of purchasing another for a different TV and maybe the wireless subwoofer as well. Also one last thing, the soundbar feels like quality too, heavy and and built nicely. It has a Led notification description on the front. It comes with an HDMI cable to connect to your Arc HDMI port. It does not come with an optical cable if you need that for your setup you will have to purchase it separately.
