    I bought this primarily because of the price, but I am amazed at how well it sounds. I didn't need anything loud because my room is small. This fits the bill perfect and the remote is very handy to adjust the bass and volume. Installation is a breeze....

    Basic sound bar, not much else. It does turn on when the TV turns on, but it does not turn off automatically. It flashes stand by.

      Hi MichaelK,

      We are really happy to hear that you’ve added the HT-S400 to your setup, though we want to ensure it’s working seamlessly with your TV.

      To help with the automatic power-off feature, please check the Control for HDMI settings. You can do this by pressing and holding VOICE on the remote control for more than 5 seconds until [CONTROL FOR HDMI] appears on the front panel display. To change the setting, press the volume +/– buttons on the remote.

      Please keep in mind that when you turn off the TV, the speaker system will turn off automatically only if the input of the speaker system is set to the TV input. Additionally, your TV must support the Control for HDMI function; you may want to refer to your TV's operating instructions for specific compatibility details.

      If the issue persists after checking these settings, please reach out to our technical team for further assistance here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=ht

      Thank you for trusting Sony to enhance your audio experience.

      Best regards,

    Great sound with plenty of volume for such a small footprint. I was surprised that other sound bars in this price range didn’t have HDMI and many were very quiet. This one sounds good, even when cranked up.
