A:Answer Hello there, thanks for your great question!
When you connect the BRAVIA Theater Bar 6 to your BRAVIA 8, the TV speakers typically turn OFF by default–unless you enable the TV center speaker mode or S-Center speaker mode. With this mode ON, the built-in speakers actually work in combination with the soundbar.
In this setup, the TV's speakers function as the center channel, handling dialogue and central audio cues, while the soundbar manages the rest of the surround sound experience.
Find this function on Settings → Display & Sound → Audio output → Audio system settings. You can also check the article ''Use the TV speakers as the center speaker'' https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00201071
Hope this helps! Thanks for choosing Sony.
Sincerely,
Jenn.
