  • QuestionAre more sub woofers needed with this bar and can the Bar also be used wireless?

    Asked by Sage.

    • Answer Hi Sage, thanks for your question. No, you don't need more subwoofers. The HTA8000 soundbar does not support the use of multiple subwoofers directly. You can expand the audio experience with optional wireless subwoofers and rear speakers, but only one subwoofer can be connected at a time. The connection for an optional subwoofer or rear speakers is wireless. Hope this helps.

By using phantom speakers, 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology achieves wider coverage than conventional virtual surround systems. Bring authentic cinema surround sound quality to your living room. BRAVIA Theatre Bar 8 not only supports industry-standard formats including Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X®, but also has IMAX® Enhanced certification. ~Earl

  • QuestionCan I connect this to a receiver ?

    Asked by Dg.

    • Answer Hello Dg! Thank you for reaching out with your question. We can certainly help you with that. The short answer is no, you can't directly connect the HT-A8000 soundbar to a traditional AV receiver to use it as a speaker output. The HT-A8000 is designed to be a standalone soundbar system; it's not built to function as a passive speaker or part of a conventional receiver-based home theater setup. It handles all the processing and amplification itself. Instead of connecting to an AV receiver, the HT-A8000 is designed to expand wirelessly within its own ecosystem. If you're looking to enhance its performance, you can seamlessly add compatible Sony subwoofers and rear speakers, like the SA-SW3 subwoofer or SA-RS3S rear speakers, using the Sony | BRAVIA Connect app. This creates a powerful and integrated surround sound experience without the need for an external receiver. We hope this helps! Thank you for making Sony part of your purchasing consideration! Warm regards, Estefany

  • QuestionCan I mount the Bravia Theater Bar 8 to the bottom of my Sony Bravia XR-75X90CK. I understand I will need to purchase brackets separately.

    Asked by SoundbartoTVmounting.

    • Answer Hello SoundbartoTVmounting, thanks for your question! Yes, you should be able to mount the Sony Bravia Theater Bar 8 to the bottom of your Sony Bravia XR-75X90CK, and you are correct that you will need to purchase brackets separately. Sony offers a dedicated soundbar wall-mount bracket called the SU-WB1. This bracket is designed to work with the Bravia Theater Bar 8 (and Bar 9) and allows you to mount the soundbar directly to compatible Sony TV wall mounts (like the SU-WL905, which is sold separately). This system is designed to allow the TV and soundbar to swivel together, and helps keep cables neat. Thanks for your interest in our Sony products! Sincerely, Jenn.

  • QuestionHow can I connect both the Bravia Theater Bar 8 and an eARC compatible Blue-ray player to my Sony K-65XR80 TV via HDMI eARC when the TV has only a single eARC/ARC HDMI socket?

    Asked by Keanu.

    • Answer Hi Keanu, thanks for your question! To connect both a Bravia Theater Bar 8 (soundbar) and an eARC-compatible Blu-ray player to a Sony K-65XR80 TV that only has a single HDMI eARC/ARC port, consider the following: The TV’s HDMI eARC/ARC port is designed primarily for connecting audio devices like soundbars or AV receivers, enabling both audio return from the TV and playback of high-quality audio from other connected HDMI sources. Unfortunately, you cannot connect both the soundbar and Blu-ray player directly to the TV's single eARC/ARC HDMI port simultaneously. Instead, consider using the following method: HDMI Audio Passthrough (Recommended) Connect the Bravia Theater Bar 8’s HDMI OUT (eARC/ARC) port to the TV’s HDMI input labeled eARC/ARC. Connect the Blu-ray player to the HDMI IN port on the soundbar. How it works: The Blu-ray player sends both audio and video to the soundbar; the soundbar outputs video to the TV (via eARC/ARC port). This setup passes high-quality audio (up to Dolby Atmos) to the soundbar and video to the TV. Limitations: All devices in the chain must support appropriate HDMI standards (e.g., HDCP, high bandwidth for 4K/HDR), and some advanced video features (like 4K/120Hz gaming) may be affected depending on the HDMI passthrough capabilities of the soundbar. Thanks for considering Sony products! Best regards, Gus Sony Social Media Team
