  • QuestionIs this compatible with a XBR X850E 65 inch (circa 2017)

    Asked by Greg.

    • Answer Hi Greg, thanks for your question. Yes, this soundbar is compatible with XBR65X850E TV. The XBR65X850E has HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel), which is supported by the HTA8000. This allows for seamless audio and video integration between the two devices. Hope this helps. BRAVIA Theatre Bar 8 combines physical and phantom speakers, creating a wider surround sound field that covers more of the room. Now more people can enjoy the same immersive surround experience. 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

  • QuestionDo I need to purchase additional hdmi cables

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hi there! Thanks for the question! We’re happy to assist you. The good news is that the HT-A9000 comes with one high quality HDMI cable right in the box. This cable is specifically meant to connect the soundbar to your TV's HDMI eARC port so you can get the best sound possible immediately. Whether you need to buy another one really depends on your setup. If you plan on plugging a device, like a PlayStation 5, a Blu-ray player, or a cable box, directly into the back of the soundbar instead of into your TV, then you will need to purchase an additional HDMI cable for that device. If you're just connecting the bar to your TV and using the TV's built-in apps, the cable we provided is all you need. If you'd like to learn more about this product, please visit the link and click on 'Help Guide' for additional information. https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/sound-bars-home-theater-systems-sound-bars-surround-speakers/ht-a9000/manuals Thanks for considering Sony products!

  • QuestionCan I hook up a roku

  • QuestionWhy do they mention HDMI ports as a con, instead of a pro?

    Asked by Cbp.

  • QuestionCan I attach this to the bottom of a 65 inch TV

    Asked by Erock.

    • Answer Yes if you have a right soundbar wall mount that would connect with your existing TV wall mount. Sony has a sound bar mount to be attached with Sony wall mount but it’s so hard to find that it’s best to ask home theatre expert at Best Buy. Try to match soundbar bracket with matching brand of your TV wall mount is your second choice.
