Installation was surprisingly complicated
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Adding these to my Bravia soundbar audio for my Bravia TV was surprisingly complicated. You have to download Sony's app on to your phone to allow the system to "find" the new speakers on wireless.

Posted .Hi HomeOfficeUser,
Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding the setup of your BRAVIA Theater Rear 8 speakers.
We understand that incorporating new components into your home theater can feel like a process, and we appreciate your patience. To ensure a seamless connection and optimal performance, the Sony | BRAVIA Connect app is indeed required for the initial setup. We designed the app to provide clear, step-by-step guidance and on-screen instructions to help the system "find" and calibrate your new wireless speakers within your specific room environment.
However, if you ever require personalized assistance during a setup or if you come across any technical issues, please remember that our technical team is more than happy to assist you directly. You can reach out to us here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=ht
We hope you are now enjoying the expanded surround sound experience with your new rear speakers!
Thank you for considering Sony!

Posted .Hi SherrillG,
We’re sorry to hear the volume levels aren't meeting your expectations. These rear speakers are designed for atmospheric surround effects rather than mimicking the deep bass of a subwoofer, but you can significantly increase their output by adjusting the Rear level in the Sony | Bravia Connect app. We also recommend running the Sound Field Optimization to ensure the system is calibrated correctly for your room's layout. Thanks for choosing Sony.

Posted .Hello AllenD,
Thank you for choosing Sony products.
We are happy to hear that adding the SA-RS8 rear speakers made a world of difference in your home theater. However, we also recognize that the core soundbar and subwoofer left you disappointed, especially given the cost. It is clear that the initial performance did not align with the premium quality you anticipated from this system.
We will share your feedback with our product development team to ensure we prioritize the right improvements for future updates. If you would like to discuss your setup further so we can work toward a five-star experience, please reach out to us at: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=ht. We want to ensure your entire system performs at its best.
Best regards,
-Fred
