    Yhis is definitely a must for any TV . It does pair well with Sony TVs , it links to it and you can adjust rear levels and bass levels if you add rear speakers and a subwoofer

      The BRAVIA Theater Bar 8 is indeed an excellent choice for enhancing any TV setup, especially when paired with Sony TVs. It integrates seamlessly, allowing you to adjust rear speaker levels and bass levels when additional rear speakers and subwoofers are connected, creating an immersive home theater experience.

      Hi, Maytag,

      Thanks for the review and the 5-stars rating! We are delighted to hear how much you are loving your Sony Soundbar! Great to hear you have paired it with a BRAVIA TV! With the HTA8000, music comes to life. 360 Reality Audio puts you in the middle of the concert, studio session, or whatever you’re listening to, for a totally immersive and unique experience.

      Thanks for choosing Sony, have a great day!

    Great sound, easy setup, and not bad on the pocketbook. I normally wouldn’t buy a matching set (TV and Soundbar) but this one seriously makes you think someone is whispering behind you at times! Definitely would recommend!

    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.

      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!

    Don't expect room filling sound effects. Helps with dialog though. I wear hearing aids so combined with my Bravia 9 using the tv speakers in conjunction with the Bravia theater bar 9 really helps with dialog.

    When we listen to the sound system in the store, it sounded great. However, when we brought it home and set it up for the instructions, we had to turn off the rear speakers in order to hear the voice. Think something must’ve been the matter with the sound bar, I told them when I returned it. They had a Samsung system on sale last year‘s model and we bought that and it works fantastic true theater sound in our own living room
