QuestionI currently own a 2 year old 65" A9G OLED. I want to add the HT-A5000 bar, the SA-RS5 wireless rear speakers, and SA-SW3 sub. Will these items integrate well with my A9G? Also, Can I still use the acoustic panel speakers of the TV along with this setup?
Asked 3 years ago by LocoDiablo.
- Answer Hi 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.

QuestionWill this work on the Insignia NS-HWD1848 TV stand?
Asked 3 years ago by Steve.
- Answer Hi 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. -Ralph

Asked 3 years ago by Steve.
- Answer Hi 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. https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/sound-bars-home-theater-systems-sound-bars-surround-speakers/ht-a5000/articles/00257728 Regards, David

QuestionCan I use the optical port to connect to my Sony Bass Bazooka sony rdh-gtk37ip? I can transmit to it through Bluetooth, but then I can’t hear the sound bar or tv. I’d like to figure out a way to wire to it.
Asked 3 years ago by Frank.
- Answer Hi Frank, Thank you for the inquiry! The optical digital output of the soundbar is dedicated for television. So for example if your television doesn't support ARC/eARC, you can connect it using optical cable. We do not recommend connecting any speaker to the optical digital output of the soundbar.

QuestionHow many channels you have if using ht-a5000, sa rs3s rear speakers and sa sw3. Thank you
Asked 2 years ago by Sonyuser.
- Answer Hi Sonyuser, The system becomes a 5.1.4. The rear speakers add 2 height channels but are a duplicate of channels 4 and 5 that are in the soundbar. The HT-A5000 envelops you in authentic 5.1.2ch surround sound with up-firing speakers, side beam tweeters, built-in subwoofers, and advanced technologies that bring you Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X® audio as well as 8K and 4K video passthrough. And with rear speakers it supports 360 Spatial Sound Mapping, taking movies, TV and music into a whole new realm. -David

QuestionHow do I get the second subwoofer to connect to A5000 soundbar? SA-SW3 sub
Asked 3 years ago by Sony.
- Answer Hi Sony, Thank you for the inquiry! Unfortunately, you can only connect one subwoofer to the soundbar. A good note to mention is you can connect two SA-RS3S Wireless Rear Speakers for a more powerful sound. 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.
