Q: Dose this have Dolby Atmos???
A: It has virtual Dolby Atmos. Is it as good as speakers in your ceiling? No. But you can hear it and it does add to the quality of watching a movie.
A: There is a bass feature on the remote which you can increase. You can also amplify the sound in the menu by increasing +db.
Q: How can I get more volume on voices from the z9f rear speakers? We are a little hard of hearing,
A: Someone may have already answered this, but in general when using a 5.1 set up with rear satellite speakers, the audio content coming from the rear is predominately for effects and "off screen" voices... the main voice channel and content comes from the center speaker on the soundbar. On the remote there is a button called "Voice" which has three levels of enhancement specifically for improved clarity or hard of hearing. I would suggest trying the settings on this first.
A: Hi, Yes, you can control this soundbar using the TV remote. They both have Bravia-Sync feature. Thanks! ^Ron
A: If you do not have a 4k tv with an hdmi arc this would not be worth your money. You can’t get atmos sound without 4k content and with out hdmi arc you will not get the full effect as this bar acts as an av receiver as well
A: All I can say is the sound from this system expecially with the optional SA-Z9R rear speakers is amazing. I highly reccomend this system.
Q: Is this soundbar compatible with the Sony wireless ZR7 and ZR5 speakers to produce surround sound?
A: You can use the ZR5 and ZR7 for multi room capabilities but need the Z9R's for the rears.
A: No it will not impact performance. This Soundbar uses Vertical surround, instead of Dolby Atmos, the speaker actually arch the sounds to you instead of bouncing off the ceiling, and you can set the exact distance it is from your seating area to give you the best sound, also highly recommend the rear speakers. The setup is a breez you configure you room using an on tv setup that uses really simple pictures and diagrams, I absolutely love this Soundbar it’s amazing, if you own a Sony tv I would stick with the Soundbar, in my experience pairing like branded sound bars with TV always gives you way better performance, other wise the Samsung HW-N850 or HW-N950 save the money and get last years models, they are nearly identical to this years samsungs
