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!

A little underwhelmed, but good quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I read through more reviews and watched more videos than I care to count before I purchased this bar. I had great expectations from everything I saw. This is a nice quality unit, but I expected a lot from the ATMOS and sound stage. I paired it with a new Sony OLED so I could take advantage of the integrated center speaker feature. There is not a great sense of "spaciousness" that I expected. There are some neat surround effects here and there, but it was not all I expected for the money.
