Unreliable
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had this soundbar for over a year. It continuously drops the sound, forcing me to turn everything off, or to unplug everything to let it reset. When it works, it’s great. But it’s frustrating to sit down to watch something and then have to go through all the machinations necessary sometimes.

Posted .Hi Rick, That's amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your experience so far with your new HT-A7000 Soundbar! It's really wonderful to hear you are enjoying the outstanding sound quality, and good to know that adding the optional rear speakers and subwoofer enhances the overall sound quality of the system. The HT-A7000 has 7.1.2 channels, two up-firing speakers for overhead sound, two beam tweeters, and five front speakers for wider surround, and a built-in dual subwoofer for deep bass. With Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force PRO Front Surround, HT-A7000 creates virtual surround sound that comes from all around you so you can fully enjoy the thrill of Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X®. Thanks to Sony’s virtual surround technology, the soundbar can position sound in vertical space—so you can experience 3D audio without the need for in-ceiling speakers. As well as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, Vertical Surround Engine lends a more realistic, multi-dimensional sound to other formats, too. Thank you so much for your purchase and for choosing Sony! -Jess
