      Hi Javi,

      Great! We're glad that you like the sound quality and user-friendly functions of the soundbar. We hope that between some of our premium audio technologies such as Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force Pro Front Surround, you feel like you are not only in a sphere of sound, but inside the movie itself. To ensure that you are getting the most out of your HT-A5000, make sure to run Sound Field Optimization so that the soundbar can calibrate its performance to your environment, and that it sounds like it was engineered to be in your room. If you want to expand your audio system, please take a look at our optional subwoofer and rears accessories (SA-SW5,SA-SW3,SA-RS3S). Thank you for choosing Sony!

      Hi Erik, Thanks for the 5-star rating! We're glad that you are satisfied with your new Sony Soundbar. Take your entertainment to a new realm of audio immersion. The HT-A5000 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.

    This soundbar is amazing and more than enough for our home and living space. The sound is lively, sound field is awesome and watched a few movies with Dolby atmos and wow what an experience. I paired it with the A80K TV and I couldn’t ask for more. My family is also very satisfied with the product I wouldn’t trade it for anything else, like any Lg or Samsung products.
