  • 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.

    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.
