  • QuestionHow can I pair this with my new Sony Bravia XR A95L OLED? Let me know if this is correct - I would connect my XR A95L TV to the setup box via HDMI and Then from the TV eARC in to the Soundbar eARC out ?

    Asked by Deep.

    • Answer Hi Deep, Thank you for reaching us with your concern. Yes, your understanding is mostly correct, but let me clarify the steps for connecting your Sony BRAVIA XR A95L TV to the Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 8 for optimal audio performance: 1. Connect an HDMI IN jack compatible with eARC/ARC on the TV and the HDMI OUT (TV (eARC/ARC)) jack on the speaker system using the HDMI cable (supplied). If you are facing the back of the bar speaker, the HDMI OUT jack is located inside the right indented area. It is on the side wall of the indented area and marked with three tactile dots. 2. Change the TV settings so that TV sound can be output from the speaker system. Depending on your TV, this may be set automatically when the speaker system is connected. For details, refer to the operating instructions of your TV. 3. Enable eARC on both the speaker system and the TV. If the TV that is connected to the speaker system is compatible with eARC/ARC, the eARC function is available. To enjoy higher quality audio formats such as Dolby Atmos played on an external device connected to the TV, check that the eARC setting is enabled on the speaker system and TV. eARC setting for the TV: Refer to the operating instructions of your TV. eARC setting for the speaker system: The setting is enabled by default. Note: Check that the connectors are firmly inserted. If the speaker system is not connected to the eARC/ARC-compatible HDMI input of the TV, the TV sound cannot be output from the speaker system. Enable the Control for HDMI function on the TV. If the Control for HDMI function on the TV is not enabled, the speaker system does not output TV sound. By enabling the eARC function on the TV, some features on the TV may become limited. For instance, system sounds and voice response may not be output. For details, refer to the operating instructions of your TV. Hope this information helps! If you need further assistance or have additional concerns, may we contact you directly?

  • QuestionI bought the Bravia 8 Soundbar and subwoofer. The sound is nothing like what it was in the store. Could it be because I have an older Samsung TV or that I have cathedral ceilings?

    Asked by sandiphi.

    • Answer Hi sandiphi, Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with the Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 8! The sound quality you’re experiencing could be influenced by a few factors. To optimize your audio performance, we recommend adjusting the sound settings on your soundbar: Go to Sound settings > Auto DRC > Off. The Auto DRC (Dynamic Range Compression) compresses the dynamic range (range between the loudest and quietest parts) of the audio signal to make it easier to hear softer sounds.

  • Questioncan this soundbar be paired with Amazon Alexa?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hello, thanks for your question.

  • QuestionMy new Sony Bravia TV has not worked with any soundbars I have tried - -with frequent audio cut outs no mater what I try. It seems the Sony TV has a defective eARC output. Sony said I should try Sony brand. Will this soundbar work?

    Asked by TVee.

    • Answer If audio works, produces sound (then constant interference) ***get a NEW HDMI*** (old HDMI = cable "connection plugs" are damaged = cable could be damaged due to twisting/movement but unlikely) HDMI should be set and forget (not constantly touched/removed) ____ ***connect via BLUETOOTH*** (sound sync issues = voices not matching lips = correctable) -OR- Buy atleast a HDMI 2.1 with shielding @ 3-5 ft (Shielding just makes sound slightly better = lesser static noise = today mostly irrelevant)
