QuestionI am assuming answer is "yes," but I want to double check ... can I pair my iPhone with this Soundbar and play Spotify and Apple Music thru the Soundbar? If not, could I download those apps on my Sony GoogleTV and play them thru soundbar that way?
Asked 2 years ago by CK.
- Answer Hi CK, Thank you for your question. Great news! You can connect your iPhone (via Bluetooth or AirPlay) to the HT-A5000 and enjoy your favorite audio content or apps through the soundbar. Additionally, you can listen to sounds from a connected Sony TV. 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. -Ralph
