    Sony sound-bar sounds excellent, crisp, clear balanced. I think once the compatible sub woofer is added it will sound amazing.

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!

    The sound bar was a claim because the installation of the original one was very bad, so the sound bar fell down and the bar was damaged. The Best Buy site manger treated me really bad, saying that I was trying to make a fraud and yelling to me. Finally he changed the bar, but did not authorized the installation again. Sorry but Beat Buy lost me as a loyalty customer.
