Perfect! We're glad that you are enjoying the sound quality 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!

Excellent soundbar for newer Sony tvs.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent soundbar. Great room correction features, high resolution audio performance, links well with newer Sony tvs, upfiring speakers are really good if you are in a smaller room. It’s very good when it’s a stand alone soundbar but linking it up with a subwoofer takes it up a notch and lands it in the excellent category.

Great! We're glad that you like the sound quality of the soundbar and everything was handled professionally. 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!

Just Amazing!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Paired it up with my new XR65X90L, it’s amazing how just by itself the immersive sound field mode gives you a very decent surround experience. Can’t wait to complete the setup with the SA-RS5 satellites and SA-SW5 sub.

Extremely dissapointed
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was highly anticipating the delivery of my new Sony HT-A5000, only to be completely let down. Prior to purchasing this, my 50" XJ90 Bravia TV was sitting on top of a Sony HT-XT1 Sound Bar/Platform. Since my new TV was capable of handling all of the new sound fields, (Dolby Atmos) I wanted to step up. Well, to be blunt, this $1000 sound bar has no depth to the sound whatsoever, and is not worth the price tag. Sounds real tinny even with bass maxed out. My HT-XT1 sounded way better. And Dolby Atmos, I am not impressed. I watched two movies (Dune & Jungle Cruise), and could not hear anything special. I guess to get the full experience, you have to get the sub and the rear speakers. Well, that's not going to happen. Unfortunately this will get packed up and returned to the store.

Great sound, big problem
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The bar really does sound good, but after about 18 months the volume will randomly shoot to 100%. This bar does put out a LOT of sound. So. Much. Sound. Resets and updates have done nothing. Sony will definitely not be the first choice on my next shopping trip.
