    It’s been 3 weeks since I purchased this soundbar. They sound ok out of the box but after tweaking few settings to support Dolby atmos and pairing it with a Sony subwoofer they sounded great. So, far I am enjoying this purchase.

    Pricey but worth it if you are going for a full home set up. The bar 8 would be a close runner up in my opinion but if you get it for a good sale definitely consider getting this system.

    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.

      Hi Dampsocks,

      We're absolutely delighted to hear that you find the BRAVIA Theater Bar 9 sounds great and delivers an experience you feel is "totally worth it!" That is exactly what we strive for with our premium audio products and the integration of Dolby Atmos and 360 Spatial Sound Mapping. Pairing it with the optional wireless subwoofer (SA-SW5 or SA-SW3) and rear speakers (SA-RS5 or SA-RS3R) is indeed the best way to unlock the full potential of a truly immersive, cinematic 360-degree sound field. Enjoy every moment of your movies and music!

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards,

    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.

    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.
