    This does everything well short of a full surround system. Fills the room and then some. Optional wireless rear speakers are nice.

    Excellent sound and very good at processing artificial atmos surround. When paired with the wireless rear speakers and a subwoofer this is a great alternative to running exposed wires for surround sound. Would recommend purchasing

      Hi ShadowOps86,

      Amazing! We're thrilled that you are enjoying the sound quality of the soundbar. You also made the right choice in adding the supported subwoofer and rear speakers (SA-SW5,SA-SW3,SA-RS3S). 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!

    Fantastic compromise for a true surround sound system. However, be cautioned, Optical (or Toslink) does not enable any of the advanced features. HDMI eARC or ARC is required to really set this bar to its full potential.

      You made the right choice with the Sony HTA5000! We're glad that you are enjoying the sound quality of the soundbar.

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!
