  • 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

  • QuestionDoes this soundbar has a built-in woofer?

    Asked by Franz.

    • Answer Hello Franz, Thank you for considering Sony products! We appreciate your inquiry about the Sony HT-A9000 soundbar and are happy to assist you. The HT-A9000 is a flagship soundbar featuring a 7.0.2 channel configuration with 13 built-in speakers, including front, side, and upward-firing drivers, designed to deliver immersive surround sound. However, it does not include a built-in subwoofer.

  • 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!

  • QuestionHow to reset the soundbar

    Asked by Don.

    • Answer Hello Don, Thank you for considering Sony products! We appreciate your inquiry about how to reset your Sony HT-A8000 soundbar and are happy to assist you. Performing a reset is an effective way to ensure your system is running at peak performance or to clear previous settings if you are starting a new configuration. To reset the speaker system, please follow these simple steps: Hold the Power Button: Press and hold the power button on the bar speaker for more than 10 seconds. Watch the Indicators: The main status indicator will flash white and blue alternately, signaling that the reset has begun. The process is complete once the flashing stops. Power Cycle: After the flashing finishes, disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet. Wait for the status indicator to turn off completely, then reconnect the power cord. This reset will restore the soundbar to its factory default settings and may help resolve operational issues.

  • Questionjust bought bravia 7 75 inch does this sound bar create bass ? or do i have to purchase sub woofer?

    Asked by tony.

    • Answer Yes the Bar 8 has limited bass capabilities based on its size and purpose. I added the wireless SW-5 Subwoofer to offload all the bass duties and it was a Gamechanger for my sound system. Good luck.

  • QuestionCan i plug this in and just use my tv remote to control the volume ?

    Asked by Kbp1.

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

    Asked by Cbp.

    • Answer Having ONLY one HDMi port instead of multiple HDMi ports that would make it easier to connect other devices directly to soundbar instead of TV.

      Answered by Shoaib

  • 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.

  • QuestionHow do you adjust the treble?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hi! Thank you for reaching out! We understand you're looking to adjust the treble on your HT-A9000. The HT-A9000 does not have a dedicated, user-adjustable treble control. The system is designed to automatically optimize the sound field based on its environment and the content being played. While there isn't a direct treble knob, you might find that exploring the different sound modes or optimizing the sound field through the "Sound Field Optimization" feature can help fine-tune the audio to your preference.

  • QuestionWhat if my purchase of an (Excellent) quality open box soundbar does not come with all the accessories as stated in the description, mine is missing screws for the feet, an HDMI cable and all paperwork?

    Asked by antman.

    • Answer There are no screws for the feet; you have to purchase them at a hardware store. Pennies on the dollar. Copy and paste the name of the soundbar into internet exployer or google or whatever you use. And put instructions/operation for; It should have come with the HDMI cable. Mind did, you can either snap a cell phone photo of your purchase off the box or the Best Buy website from your purchase on my account. Take it to Best Buy, and they may give you a new one free. Or purchase one off Amazon.com, they are very cheap to very expensive, which will work for this. Make sure you tell Best Buy that it didn't come in the box, and you didn't want to return the entire heavy box, simply because of that. I hope what I told you can help you out in some way, good luck.
