    Asked by Terri.

The soundbar includes a "wall mount template", which is needed to mount it on the wall. For detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to do this, please refer to the "Mounting the Bar Speaker on a Wall" section of the operating instructions here: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/5034/7831498f50f2674a02356156810c655a/50347731M.pdf There, you'll find all the required items and the complete mounting procedure.

  • QuestionDoes the optical cable work as well as the HDMI cable

    Asked by John.

    • Answer Hello John, Thank you for choosing Sony! We appreciate your question and are here to assist you. While both optical and HDMI cables can be used with the HT-S400 soundbar, they do not work the same. An HDMI cable is the best choice because it supports more advanced audio formats like Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master Audio, providing superior sound quality. It also includes the Audio Return Channel (ARC) feature, allowing audio to be sent from your TV to the soundbar with a single cable and enabling you to control the soundbar’s volume using your TV remote. On the other hand, an optical cable only transmits audio, supports fewer audio formats, and requires you to control the soundbar’s volume separately. For more details about the different connection options, please visit: https://www.sony-latin.com/en/electronics/support/articles/00007061. Using an HDMI cable simplifies your setup and gives you a better overall experience. Best regards, -Fred

  • QuestionI bought a new Sony K65S20M2S tv, connected the sound bar now the quality of sound is not good. I had another Sony tv connected to it, the quality of sound was great. It's connected wireless, the sound bar disables ths tv sound settings.

    Asked by ThomasD.

    • Answer Hello ThomasD, Thank you for considering Sony products. We apologize for the sound quality issues you're experiencing with your HTS400 when using a wireless connection. For the best possible sound, we recommend connecting your soundbar to the TV using an HDMI cable with the Audio Return Channel (ARC) feature. This often resolves sound quality issues. You can find more information on the proper connection and settings here: https://www.sony-latin.com/en/electronics/support/articles/00007061 If the issue continues after trying these steps, please contact our support team. They can walk you through some additional troubleshooting to get the sound working perfectly.

  • QuestionDoes this sound bar have a tuner for fm radio stations?

    Asked by Burg.

    • Answer Hi Burg, we appreciate your inquiry! We're here to help. The Sony HT-S400 soundbar does not have a built-in FM radio tuner. This soundbar is primarily designed to enhance your TV's audio with powerful sound, virtual surround and a wireless subwoofer. It offers excellent connectivity options like HDMI ARC and optical input for your TV and Bluetooth for streaming music from your mobile devices. If you're looking for a device with an FM radio, you'd find that feature on a dedicated stereo receiver, like our STR-DH190 model.

  • QuestionDoes this require a PIN to connect to Bluetooth? Or can anyone within range find the device and connect?

    Asked by Zella.

    • Answer Hi Zella, we are pleased to assist you with your inquiry regarding the HT-S400 soundbar! When it comes to connecting via Bluetooth, the HT-S400 does not require a PIN code for the initial pairing process with most devices. Instead, it uses a standard Bluetooth pairing procedure: you'll put the soundbar into Bluetooth pairing mode. The Bluetooth indicator light will flash rapidly, indicating it's ready to be discovered. Then, you'll go to the Bluetooth settings on your phone, tablet, or TV and you'll see "HT-S400" appear in the list of available devices. You simply select it to connect. Once a device is paired, the HT-S400 will usually automatically connect to that last paired device when both are powered on and within range, making it very convenient for everyday use. However, if you want to connect a new device, you'll need to put the soundbar back into pairing mode. For detailed instructions about the pairing process, please check this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/5034/7831498f50f2674a02356156810c655a/50347731M.pdf Thanks for considering Sony products!

  • QuestionDo I have to have a smart Tv to hook this up to? Also how many hdmi inputs does this have?

    Asked by Interestedbuyer3.

    • Answer Hi Interestedbuyer3, thank you for your questions! We're happy to help. Regarding your first question, you do not need a smart TV to hook up the HT-S400 soundbar.
