Thank you for your question.
The available audio output port on your TV/Audio Video device will determine if you can use this soundbar and your current 5.1 home theater setup at the same time. Additional information is needed. If you can share to us your current setup and the devices that you are using, that would be appreciated so we can best answer your question. Please email the below information to [email protected].

A:AnswerHi Rorschach,
The HT-A5000 should work with most compatible devices. If you connect via 3.5 you should not experience any latency issues, however Bluetooth you could depending on environment conditions.

A:AnswerYou don't need to put it in studs. There are mounting anchors at the hardware store that can go into sheetrock. The hold from 5-50 pounds per anchor. I have used them to install upper cabinets and not have any issues.
A:AnswerMy need to run the room sound field optimizer again. Or turn that setting off and make all the Manuel controls yourself : distance, level, etc.
A:AnswerNot sure about Airpods, but it will connect with bluetooth devices. I'm using my Bose soundwear and it works flawlessly, and connects automatically very quickly.
A:AnswerHi LocoDiablo,
Thanks for your inquiry. Great news! The A9G TV will work well with the soundbar. To use the TV speakers with the soundbar setup, you'll need to add an optical cable aside from the HDMI cable. For more information, please refer to this link:

A:AnswerHi Andrii,
If trying you are trying to use Tidal for Dolby Atmos, we recommended using the Bluetooth function since HT-A5000 supports LDAC.

A:AnswerHi Steve,
Thanks for your inquiry. The soundbar can be placed on a TV stand or cabinet if it supports these dimensions: 1210 × 67 × 140 mm (47 3/4 × 2 3/4 × 5 5/8 inches) (WxHxD) and a weight of 6.1 kg (13 lb 8 oz). Please also refer to the specifications of the TV stand or cabinet.
Additional information:
Take your entertainment to a new realm of audio immersion. The HT-A5000 has 5.1.2 channels and X-Balanced speaker units minimize distortion while the up-firing speakers and beam tweeters fill the room to give an ultra-immersive listening experience. Built-in subwoofers provide an additional boost to low end frequencies. Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force Pro Front Surround creates immersive sound from all around, while Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X® lend a more realistic, multi-dimensional sound to your content.

A:AnswerHi Steve,
Thank you for the inquiry! Compatible rear speakers (SA-RS3S, SA-RS5) and a software update on the soundbar are required to enjoy 360 Spatial Sound.
