Posted .Hi Akzz,
Thank you for the review and we're glad you like the soundbar. Power reset the unit, simply unplug the unit and wait 1-2 minutes then plug the device back in and power on. 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

Invest in a Quality Sound experience!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar’s sound is great! It is loud on half of its full strength and is great when listening to music with company or watching a movie with family. It does not come with a big woofer which normally takes up a lot of space.
