QuestionDoes the soundbar auto turn off?
Asked 3 years ago by Spencer.
- Answer If you connect it to your tv via an hdmi cable into the hdmi(arc) input (assuming your tv has one) then it will shut off and turn on when you turn your tv off/on, it’ll also allow for you to control the soundbar’s volume with the tv’s remote as well.

QuestionJust bought Sony 55"X90K TV . Will the TV remote control the sound bar ? Wife does not want to have to use two remotes. How is the setup process...easy to install ? Thanks !
Asked 3 years ago by Pfd.
- Answer Well I wish I could tell you the TV remote completely controls this system. It does to some extent, but sometimes I turn off the TV and the system doesn't turn off. I also can't really get a fix on how well the sound changes with just the TV remote. I think that is spotty too. So I guess the answer is no. Set up is tricky for voice clarity I think. I seem to remember there is a special setting for that. But I also had to tweak around with the bass some.

QuestionI bought the 4k cable (48gbps), Will the soundbar still work if I plug the 4k cable into the TV's 4k port?
Asked 3 years ago by ASJr.
- Answer If one of your HDMI ports on the TV is labeled HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel), then you can plug your cable from the soundbar to that specific HDMI port for synced up sound.

QuestionI have a SONY XBR65X850E TV. We tried a Vizio 5.1 Soundbar and the experience was awful. Inconsistent and unimpressive. We took it back for a refund. Compared to the "built in" sound what can I expect from the 2.1 ch?
Asked 3 years ago by MF60.
- Answer I purchased this Sony sound bar around December 5th, 2022. I purchased this model to match my Sony Bravia OLED TV and I have not been disappointed. Setting up was easy with the sound bar (plug and play), The sub-woofer is blue tooth, and I did have to end up calling tech support (which took them 1 minute to fix) because the instructions were not clear. I watched Top Gun Maverick last evening and had the sound turned up to get the theater experience and it was awesome. I highly recommend this product.

QuestionCan the subwoofer connect to tv without the soundbar?
Asked 2 weeks ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hello there, Thank you for considering Sony products! We appreciate your inquiry about connecting the subwoofer of the HT-S400 soundbar directly to your TV without using the soundbar. The HT-S400 system is designed to work as a complete unit, with the subwoofer connecting wirelessly to the soundbar. It does not support a direct connection to the TV without the soundbar. To enjoy optimal audio performance, we recommend connecting the soundbar to your TV using either an HDMI cable (preferably to the HDMI ARC port) or an optical digital cable. This setup ensures seamless integration and allows the subwoofer to function as intended, delivering rich, immersive sound. For additional information about the HT-S400 and detailed connection instructions, please visit: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/sound-bars-home-theater-systems-sound-bars-surround-speakers/ht-s400/manuals Best regards, -Fred
