    Really attractive and provides clear and crisp sound. There is also an option to increase bass. A nice subwoofer though might be a better approach.

    I had a problem with the Bravia 8 sound bar - the sound kept cutting out, so I went to the Bravia & still the sound is cutting out, not as much but still doing that

      Hi THOR,
      Thanks for your feedback about the Bravia sound bars. We're sorry to hear the sound keeps cutting out, even after switching to the Bravia 9. That kind of interruption definitely isn’t what we want for your setup.

      Here are a few quick things you can try: Make sure all the cables are connected tightly; sometimes even a small looseness can mess with the sound. If you’re using Bluetooth or another wireless connection, keep other electronics away from the sound bar to reduce interference. Restarting both your TV and sound bar can also refresh the connection and fix minor hiccups.

      It’s worth checking for any software updates for both your TV and sound bar.
      For instructions on updating your sound bar’s software, please refer to the detailed steps on the following link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/sound-bars-home-theater-systems-sound-bars-surround-speakers/ht-a9000/software/00346076

      If the issue still persists after following those steps, we strongly recommend reaching out to our technical support team using the link below.
      https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=ht

      Thanks for considering Sony products and for letting us know what’s happening.
      Sincerely,

    This soundbar works seamlessly with Sony TV's, especially when using the S-Center Out to link up with your TV speakers. This works very well with wireless Sony speakers and wireless Sony subwoofers. The bass in this soundbar is really good, but a dedicated wireless subwoofer completes the sound profile. I would recommend adding a sub before adding rear speakers if you are on a budget. As the rear speakers help, but the sub makes more of a difference.

    Paired it with my Bravia 8. Sounded better than the stock speakers but there was not enough difference to warrant spending $1,000, so i returned it. The Briava 8 has pretry good speakers to begin with so if you have that TV or the 9, probably not worth it.

      Thank you so much for sharing your honest feedback about the HT-A9000 soundbar system.

      We completely understand. It sounds like the speakers built into your BRAVIA 8 are already excellent, which is great!

      We want our customers to feel they got great value and we appreciate you confirming that the built-in sound on the BRAVIA 8/9 is already top-notch.

      We appreciate you giving Sony a chance with this product.
