      Thank you for the review, SondraG!

      We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the sound quality of your HT-A8000. To help with the volume levels, you might try adjusting the "Voice Mode" setting on your remote, which is designed to enhance dialogue clarity without needing to raise the overall volume.

      If you find that the levels still aren't quite right, please feel free to reach out to our support team for further optimization tips. We are always here to help you get the best performance possible!

      Thank you for choosing Sony!

    Great clear robust sound. If you want to hear exactly what people are saying this sound bar fits the bill. It would help if there was a way to tell the level of the setting. Sometimes I increase the level and it all of a sudden blasts out. I can’t tell how much I am adjusting the sound level.
