  • 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. If you need further assistance or have additional concerns, may we contact you directly? If so, please email the following information to [email protected]. Apologies if you've already shared this information with customer service — we just want to ensure we have your most accurate details: Full Name: Best Buy Username: Telephone Number: Additional Information regarding your experience with the BRAVIA Theater Bar 8. Thank you for your patience, and we look forward to improving your experience! Sincerely, Maria

  • Questioncan this soundbar be paired with Amazon Alexa?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hello, thanks for your question. Unfortunately, the HTA8000 cannot be paired with Amazon Alexa, as it does not support the A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) that Amazon Alexa requires. 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. Hope this helps. ~Earl

  • QuestionI just set up a Bravia9 and its sound could not fill the family room, which is 16' tall, 20' long and wide. Will this sound bar satisfy the need for movie sound effects with the TV?

    Asked by Robertv.

    • Answer Hi Robertv, thanks for choosing and purchasing our product. We're sorry to hear that you have an issue with the sound of your Sony unit. The HTA9000 soundbar is designed to deliver high-quality audio, including immersive movie sound effects. Given the setup in your family room (16' tall, 20' long and wide), it is important to consider these things to get the best listening experience: • For the best movie experience, you can enable the Sound Field settings. On the remote control, press the SOUND FIELD button and select Sound Field: Effect On. This setting helps in creating a more immersive audio experience by utilizing the multi-channel audio output. • If you have optional speakers connected, you can enable the 360 Spatial Sound Mapping feature. This can be done by pressing the HOME button on the remote control, selecting Setup → Advanced Settings → Audio Settings → Sound Effect, and then selecting Sound Mode On. This feature enhances the spatial audio experience, making it more suitable for larger rooms.

  • 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)
