Posted .Hi RonP,
Thank you for the purchase! We're glad you like the sound quality of the soundbar and you had a great time with our customer service. Take your entertainment to a new realm of audio immersion. The HTA5000 has 5.1.2 channels and X-Balanced speaker units minimize distortion while the up-firing speakers and beam tweeters fill the room to give an ultra-immersive listening experience. Built-in subwoofers provide an additional boost to low end frequencies. Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force Pro Front Surround creates immersive sound from all around, while Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X® lend a more realistic, multi-dimensional sound to your content. Thank you for choosing Sony!
Regards,
David
