Bravia 9 Sound bar
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Bravia 9 sound bar is an excellent compliment to my 75 inch Bravia 7 TV. It is typically easy to set-up, but in some cases the integration with a cable box can be complicated.

Needs a display
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There are new features, but the lack of a display is a big drawback because there's no way to know which features are enabled without referring to the app. It shuts down if you pause for very long - then the (Sony) TV's remote becomes inoperative until you use the soundbar's remote. It requires a lot of juggling of phone and two remotes that conflict. The equalizer function that existed with the previous HTA5000 is gone, so I'm not able to match my room. The sound is clean but lacks bass compared to the HTA5000 I replaced. The app gives better sound adjustment, almost as good as Audessey, and it works well with the Bravia Cam for time-alignment. I was hoping for more.

Amazing sound
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have the bar paired with the RS5 rear speakers and the SA-SW5 300W subwoofer. The sound is amazing. It takes a little while to get everything set up and optimized, but the overall 3d sound field sounds great.

Amazing but app could use some work
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great overall, app doesn't pick up sub woofers such as the SW3 immediately, it is embedded which distracts from the physical hardwork and tuning of the device.

Very clear and crisp
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At my age and having multiple surround sound set ups, I was looking for something that was very clear and I could hear more detail. The salesman suggested this first and I absolutely love it. It does exactly what I want: it is very clear, no distortion, no overwhelming bass and easy to use with the app. It’s the first set up my wife has ever approved.
