      Thank you for contacting Sony.

      We are truly sorry to hear that your BRAVIA Theater Bar 8 stopped working after only a few months of use. We understand your frustration, especially when comparing it to other premium systems, and we want to help you get your home theater back up and running.

      Before considering other brands, we recommend trying a power reset: unplug the unit for at least 60 seconds and then plug it back in. If it still doesn't power on, you can perform a factory reset by holding the Power button on the bar itself for more than 10 seconds.

      If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact our specialized support team. They can help you with warranty options to ensure you get the high-quality experience you paid for.
      https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=ht

      Thank you for considering Sony.
      Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team Sony_US
