    Fantastic Soundbar. Paired with some rear speakers and a sub and instantly improves the tv and movie watching experience. The sound is amazing when paired with a ps5 as well. Set up is easy with the Bravia app. Going to pair with a bravia tv next.

    Excellent sound bar. Downloading the App and setting up with my Sony Bravia 7 tv was quick and painless. The soundstage is very wide and detailed. It pairs very well with the SA-SW5 sub. A definite recommend especially if you have a Sony Bravia tv.
