    It sounds like a top notch surround sound system. We love how easily we can sync with our phones just to play music! I would definitely recommend!

      Hi Skim,

      Amazing! 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 Jackie,

      Very nice! We're glad to hear you like the soundbar and subwoofer for your television. 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. Thank you for choosing Sony!

      Regards,

    Great sound easy to connect and setup. Problem is there is no available mounting system to mount/suspend under a tv due to the spacing holes distance. Sony should make an appropriate mount or adjust the mounting holes to accommodate a “universal” mount

      Hi MarkG,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the HTA5000. We're glad that you like the sound quality of the soundbar and had an easy time setting it up. We also appreciate your feedback about the mounting holes.

      Full operation is not guaranteed when using third-party wall mount brackets. For optimum performance, it is recommended to use the supplied wall mounting brackets of the soundbar. Please refer to this link for more information:
