Amazing Sound
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the perfect sound bar that is reasonably priced. The sound is clear with no cracking/scratchy echoing going on. If you put it on full blast, your house will vibrate lol
I would recommend this to a friendGreat sound for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound for the price. Even though we have a new Sony Bravia TV getting the soundbar synched and operating was a bit of an adventure. Instructions could be more helpful.

Posted .Hi leopold,
We’re sorry to hear about the audio delay you’re experiencing with your HT-S400 and optical connection. To fix this, we recommend adjusting the A/V Sync settings in the soundbar’s menu or your TV’s audio settings to align the timing, and also ensuring your TV's digital output is set to PCM or Auto for the fastest signal processing.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good soundbar for price. Only negative is subwoofer needs to be +3 volume to get good base on most content

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback on the HT-S400, Rj25. We're pleased to hear you find it a good value for the price.
Regarding your observation about the subwoofer: subwoofers are designed to reproduce low-frequency bass sounds, which can sometimes be less pronounced depending on the type of content played and individual room acoustics. It's not uncommon for users to adjust the subwoofer volume to a higher setting, such as +3, to achieve their preferred level of bass—especially with content that doesn't emphasize low frequencies by default.
If you find you consistently need to increase the subwoofer to +3 for satisfactory bass, that's within normal use parameters, and many listeners tweak this setting to match their preferences and listening environment. For optimal bass performance, also make sure the subwoofer is placed in an open space, away from obstacles like walls or large furniture, as these can affect bass perception.
If you ever notice sudden drops in bass or have difficulty hearing low frequencies even at higher subwoofer levels, checking the connection and ensuring the subwoofer is not in standby mode can help maintain consistent performance.
We appreciate your input and are glad you're enjoying the soundbar overall!
Thank you for choosing Sony!
