Posted .Hi Sony42BraviaTV,
Thanks for sharing your 5-star review of the HTA5000. The soundbar is also designed to support our optional subwoofers and rears accessories (SA-SW5,SA-SW3,SA-RS3S). We hope you also enjoy the replacement 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. Thanks for choosing Sony!
