Sounded good but didn't work well
|Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Like the title says, it sounds great but just falls short build-wise. Sony is usually known for great build quality, which makes this sting more. Anytime the power would go out, I'd have to fight with it to pair with the TV again (Sony TV paired with it), which gets old after a few storms. And about a year and a half after ownership, it gave out altogether. I had wished for more from it, but unfortunately, I can't recommend it.

Impressive Power,Stylish,dont need anything else!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For years it was hard for me to find a Sound equipment that can perform good either playing 7.1 movies as well as playing Stereo Music. I tried many different brands, some of them perform outstanding decoding 5.1, but very poorly playing music, and vice versa. For a long time I was forced to have two separate sound systems at home, In one room I have my old amp with 2 speakers where I can play my music, either digital or analog, and in the other room a 7.1 Sound system. But at the end I was willing to have both features in the same unit. Well, I found out that the A7000 Soundbar has the perfect balance between these two worlds. The A7000 is superb. This soundbar makes a huge difference vs the previous Sony soundbars I have known, and also it had made many improvements in the design even in small details, seems to me Sony has listened to customer’s suggestions and put them in place in this unit. First at all, the initial setup. This has been by far the fastest Setup I have ever done in a 7.1 sound system. With an onscreen user interface you can setup and manage the soundbar by selecting on the TV the HDMI port where it is connected. So, basically you just connect the soundbar to the power, connect it to the TV using the eARC port with the included 2.1 HDMI cable, and once you are in the Screen Setup, just follow the steps, setup up the wifi, don’t forget to change the Time Zone, which is “New York” by default. At the end it will perform a sound test called Sound Field Optimization. It has built-in microphones so the Bar can use to calibrate itself to your own space. And that is it, your system is ready to be explored and enjoyed all the features, like Chromecast, Amazon Alexa, Spotify, 8K HDMI passthrough, Sony 360 Reality Audio, Dolby Atmos and DTS/x just to mention some of the many great features that are included with this unit. Things that impressed me about this unit: The Look. This unit feels strong, robust, it is heavy, and good looking with a piano black finish, and that is exactly what I like the most, because that tells me that a system like this is well built and designed. Its 51inches length guarantees the best sound staging for its 9 internal speakers and 2 beam tweeters, 500watts of Power sound, very, very impressive. 2 Upfiring Speakers for vertical sound, front speakers, and what I think is a big change, built-in subwoofers. You won’t need to buy a separate subwoofer, unless you want more bass. And on the sides you will find the holes where the soundbar breathes for the bass reflex effect. Integrated Bass. Talking about the Bass, it is neat, powerful. On the remote, you can set 3 different settings, Min-Mid-Max. This settings can also be controlled through the Sony Center app. Sound Field Optimization. This tool is really useful, saves you from trying to adjust the volume for each speaker, you just have to trust and leave it to the Soundbar to determine the best configuration and DB that each speaker should have, it will automatically optimizes the surround sound field emitting a series of tones and using integrated mics dedicated just for this task. For Playback either for Movies or pure Music Sound, It has 4 different Sound Settings: Music Mode : Provides 2 channel audio just like you would experience with a receiver and 2 bookshelf speakers. You can make it a bit more surround like if you enable the Immersive AE feature Cinema Mode : Best suited for TV/Movie content. Provides Multi-Channel audio and can upmix legacy content to near 7.1.2 if you use the aforementioned IAE button on the remote. Standard Mode : Provides Multi-channel audio and is used for TV content, but also provides surround-like performance for music too. Auto : Automatically adjusts modes based off the content you are viewing/listening to. Basically, I followed my ears and after several tests, I found that the "Auto" Setting is the most suitable for DVD/BlueRay movies, as well as for streaming videos from Netflix, Amazon Apple, Disney or even YouTube videos. However, for music, I bounced from “Music” to “Standard”, depending on the style. For example, pop, rock, romantic, for my taste, plays really well with the “Music” setting, classical or instrumental music performs good with “Standard”. The Sound is clear, neat, high definition and very powerful. My family room is an area around 15x15 feet and this fella fills the room. Watching movies is a pleasant experience, you can hear clearly the 5.1 or 7.1 decoding. You can use immersive AE sound (on the remote) and 360 (this can be setup during the setup process by suscribtion, is optional), for movies that are not fully 5.1 or surround, it will compensate really well. However, if you have the chance to get movies with Dolby ATMOS, you will get a whole different experience, Dolby Atmos concept is based in objects, so the way you see the main objects in your screen is the same experience the sound will follow that action to that specific object, left, right, up or down. So, many Dolby Atmos technologies are based not only on horizontal surrounding sound, but vertical too, and this soundbar does it remarkably. However, if you have the chance to get the 2 satellite speakers and the additional Subwoofer, you will have the 100% perfect setting for your Atmos experience. I watched Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (with Atmos), and the whole action you can follow with your head moving up down left and right not only visually but also hearing it. I connected my BT Turntable to the Bar, and played dozens of my old Long plays, many of them Phase4 (Not saying that it will decode these ones, because they are very different technologies, but the pressing on the phase4 or quad are way better than the regular ones). I am so happy with what I heard. The BT connectivity is stable, the sound, even considering the compression that BT does, is fully satisfactory, and with my classical or instrumental music applying the Standard setting, that activate all the speakers, was a pleasant surround experience to hear. However for singing songs, Rock, pop, for my taste the Music Setting (Raw Stereo, 2 speakers), was more suitable, because the voice is more centered. Cool thing is that once I stablished the BT connectivity between the Turntable and the Bar, it will be saved in the unit, so every time that I turn on the turntable it Power on the bar as well and stablish the connection between the 2. But if you Power on the TV it will change the connection to the HDMI for the TV. I also connect it through BT my Samsung Cell Phone and my daugther’s Iphone and played for hours all type of music. Very stable BT connection, and large range!, I walked all over my home, went to the backyard, garage, and I level up the volume to max so I can hear it from far and I couldn’t notice any drop with the BT connection. Sony Center App. This is a wonderful tool, It will require many pages to describe everything this app does, and all the advantages you are getting by using it. You can organize your music, manage the settings of the Soundbar, etc. If you are streaming your music from your phone to the Soundbar and you are moving around the house and the remote doesn’t reach the Soundbar, you can use the app to control volume, pause or play music, etc. Another advantage, is that you can connect the bar to your TV through BT, if your TV BT supports A2DP protocol, you are going to be able to wirelessly connect Both and have a clean configuration free of cabling. However Atmos will not be available neither the setup, only through the Sony Center App. I was able to connect my Toshiba LED TV via BT with great sound quality. There is no Ethernet port or NFC capabilities on the A7000 soundbar, but the soundbar does support Google’s Fast Pairing feature which makes Bluetooth pairing a touch operation if you have an Android device. The Bar includes built in Alexa, Chromecast, Spotify. It doesn’t come with a mic for voice commands, so the commands should be given by using your mobile device. And the A7000 is one of the few that comes equipped with 8K and 4K/120p passthrough to support the latest video formats including Dolby Vision. It also has 2 extra HDMI ports, so it will work perfectly with the PS5 and Xbox X/S where you really will enjoy the sound while playing video games. The others wired connections are a 3.5mm aux input, an optical input, and a USB port for media playback from pen drives. Pluggable Power cords. I have been waiting for this for a long time. My wife is an extreme cleaner, mopping and sweeping all the time and every time I have to move my old soundbar and sub, and it was a headache!, now it is easy, just disconnect from the unit the power cord and the hdmi cable. The extra HW included with this bar are the 2.1 HDMI cable, that support 8k format, and you should use it exclusively for the eARC port that you are going to connect to the TV, that will ensure the best video performace and also includes wall mounting brackets. I have had many different soundbars trying to find the right one for my needs, but this time, Sony really excels to the Top with this one. I am so pleased with the performance, the power, the high definition sound, and its many included features. There is a lot you will gain that makes this soundbar worth every penny.

Posted .Hi RyanM,
Thank you for your time writing this review. We're glad to hear you like your HTA7000 soundbar. The subwoofer is designed for playback of bass or low frequency sound.

Bass quality may also vary depending on the source that you are playing. To ensure optimal listening experience, install the Sony Music Center app. There you will find all sorts of tools like an equalizer to fine-tune your speaker and maximize the audio to your liking.

This soundbar was spectacular- until it wasn’t.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I spent the extra money for this pricey soundbar, going all-in on a Sony setup to accompany a new 65” A80J OLED for my family's new home theater. I read many expert reviews, and trusted that the promised sound quality would be worth the price. Initially it was- my Sony loyalty had been rewarded. Integration with the BRAVIA TV was seamless. When paired with the big SA-SW5 subwoofer and the SA-RS3S surrounds, the audio experience was spectacular. Until it wasn’t. One day, with the unit on and operating normally, it made a spontaneous popping sound- like feedback- and the soundbar went dead. Attempting to recycle the power and reset the sound bar, the display screen showed “HELLO”- and then the unit went dead. It had been in service less than a year when this occurred.

Posted .Hi PeterS,
We're glad that you like the sound quality of the soundbar. It's unfortunate that the unit is no longer turning on. Make sure that the soundbar is connected to a working power outlet. Resetting the soundbar to factory settings may also help resolve the issue:
-Press and hold (power) and – (volume) on the bar speaker for more than 5 seconds. The settings return to their initial status.
The soundbar comes with a 1-year manufacturer's warranty. If still not resolved or you need further assistance, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

Not all its cracked up to be
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We exchanged a Sonos arc for this after finding out that Sonos only works with Iphones for calibration and control, and thought this would integrate with our Sony TV without an app making it seamless. Well that part it did. There is no app, there is no fuss, just plug and play. That is where the good stops. It has something that it promotes as 360 reality sound, but you only get that sound if you subscribe to certain music apps, pay for it, and only for certain songs. Otherwise there are no warm tones, it is flat sounding, the voice enhancer doesn't bring clarity just volume which is not the answer, and there is a delay in sound when you switch through things, like music, to you tube, or video games. The system has to catch up I'm guessing, so you will go 20-30 seconds with no sound until it just kicks in. For the price point, I do not recommend it. It felt like there was a wall of sound just a few steps away from us that we couldn't reach, like watching it rain on your neighbors house across the street while your house is dry. We returned it for the Bose Ultra and couldn't be happier.
