No Remote Control Included in Open Box Item
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought it open box, description says "Good" and with all attachments but doesn't have the remote control. So sad
I would recommend this to a friendGood addition to Bravia 9 tv.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Not worth $10 - let alone $1000
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to replace the HT-S7000 and accompanying subwoofer. I should have returned it when I had the chance. The remote is worthless. There is no display on this like most of its predecessors at this price point. They force you to use their Bravia app. It continuously disconnects from my bar/woofer and refuses to reconnect. Sad. Genuinely sad. The HT-S7000 still sounded better. Even without Atmos.

A little disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's expensive for what you get. It doesn't sound any better than my $139 LG soundbar that came with a wireless subwoofer. It is 10 times the price and doesn't come with a subwoofer which is another $350 or $550.

Terrible and WAY overpriced! Look elsewhere!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you value any sense of audio fidelity and even surround sound imaging this is not the soundbar for you. At this price point absolutely terrible. Bought four soundbars for a comparison. This one, Sonos Arc Ultra, Polk Magnifi Ax and Sennheiser Ambeo Plus. All three on sale far exceed every sound characteristic, from vocal to surround sound. Hard to believe anybody would buy it and you owe it to yourself to try others!

Posted .Hi rkmovies, We're sorry to hear that you are not happy with your BRAVIA Theater Bar 9 speaker. This is definitely not what we wanted you to experience. To improve the sound quality on your HT-A9000, you can try the following steps:
1) On the Sony｜BRAVIA Connect or Sony | Home Entertainment Connect app, go to Settings → Wireless Speaker Settings → Wireless Playback Quality, and set it to "Priority on Sound Quality".
2) On the Sony｜BRAVIA Connect app, go to Settings → Sound Settings, and disable DSEE Ultimate.
3) Ensure that your HT-A9000 has the latest firmware update, which includes stability improvements. You can check the current software version and update it if necessary.
4) If you are experiencing audio sync issues, connect the source device directly to the Home Theater System or Soundbar using an HDMI cable. This can help improve the synchronization between audio and video.
5) If you are using a Bluetooth connection, ensure there are no obstructions between the unit and the connected device. Place the devices closer together to improve signal transmission. Additionally, turn off any nearby Wi-Fi devices that might be causing interference.

Didn’t work out for me
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Could not get it to complete the install in the app. Was told by support it was defective so returned it for the next model up and the same issue happened. Should have listened to the other reviews saying the same thing. Disappointed bc it is built well. Returned for SONOS Arc Ultra.
