Questioncan i connect Sony - SA-SW5 300W Wireless Subwoofer to my sony oled a95l tv so I can get enough powerful low frequency bass?
Asked 2 years ago by John.
- Answer Hi John, Thanks for inquiring about the SA-SW5. Unfortunately, no. It doesn't have terminals for speaker wires. This wireless subwoofer uses a radio frequency and is designed to be paired with our HT-A9 Home Theater System, HT-A7000, HT-A5000, HT-A3000, and HT-S2000 Soundbars. In addition, the A95L does not have a subwoofer output, so a subwoofer cannot be connected to the TV directly. A recommended option is to add a soundbar that includes a wireless, powered subwoofer or have an amplifier or AV receiver that has a dedicated subwoofer connection to use with our A95L. Also, if you want to get a true audio-visual experience that draws you right into everything you're watching, adding the XV800 or XV900 to the TV lets you enjoy the enhanced sound of audio visual contents, such as live performance videos and movies, thanks to deep bass and room filling sound provided by the TV Sound Booster.

QuestionMy subwoofers has bad distortion and rattles. I thought it was blown and warrantied it and the new one is just as bad. The subwoofer is in the same place where Geek Squad set it up at. Please help.
Asked 2 years ago by Jason.
- Answer Hi Jason, We're sorry to hear about the rattling and distortion issue you're having with your Sony SASW5. This is definitely not the news we want to hear. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. To resolve this issue, please follow the troubleshooting steps below: If there is a device nearby that generates electromagnetic waves, such as a wireless LAN or a microwave oven in use, locate the subwoofer and a compatible model apart from it. If there is an obstacle between the subwoofer and a compatible model, move or remove it. Locate the subwoofer and a compatible model as close as possible. Change the [RF Channel] setting to [Off], and then change to [On] again. Switch the network connection of the TV or Blu-ray Disc player from wireless to wired. Change the [Wireless Playback Quality] setting to [Connection]. If you are unable to resolve your concern, please email us at [email protected] with the following details: Name: Username: Model Number: Issue: Telephone Number: Sincerely, Sam
