Sound on a budget
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We moved our entertainment center to a small room and didn’t need a powerful reciever. I opted for a sound bar with 2.1. This paired without issues with our smaller LG 43 in TV. Optical, HDMI(ARC) and Bluetooth all working great as well as sounding great in our 10x10 room!

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds great once I got it working. I have a 2017 Sony Bravia tv that has an HDMI/ARC port but it took a lot of playing with settings to get it to work right and I still had to connect the optical connection. But now I can control the soundbar and the tv with just the tv remote. One big challenge was to reduce the audio latency so it was not noticeable, which again took a lot of playing with settings. I think this is the problem with my older tv, not the soundbar, although I have seen reviews where the latency on this model is not great. One really great surprise feature is that there is an IR blaster built in, which is a good thing since the soundbar blocks the IR receiver on the tv. I might have gone with the Roku pro soundbar, that was my second choice.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat buy!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great soundbar with wireless subwoofer! Gets really loud with very little limiting. Is the perfect size for a 55 in TV fits right in between the stand legs but blocks the remote sensor which is kind of an annoyance. Overall, great product!
I would recommend this to a friendGreat sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great purchase. Coming off of an old school surround system with multiple speakers around the room, this single soundbar is very surprising in its capabilities. Subwoofer also provides great sounds and effects for any occasion whether it be movies or sporting events or casual tv. 10/10 recommend, especially to any sports fans out there that enjoy the at home sports bar vibe.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The setup was very easy, but I am a techie. For the price I think the sound is very good and the bass really adds the boom. I like that it shuts off the sound bar and the subwoofer from the remote. I have watched a few movies now and it really adds to the movie experience.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this as an anniversary gift to my fiancé and he absolutely loved it! We live in a small apartment so it's just perfect for movie nights, music for hangouts, convenient for listening to podcasts while cleaning, etc. Def worth the investment!

I would recommend this to a friendBestBuy to the rescue.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to get something to replace Subwoofer that went out on the sound bar and wireless Subwoofer I was using. Really did not want to spend $1,000.00 on new system. Found this one and it was in my price range I could afford. I was afraid that it would not stand up to quality I was used to having. Boy was I surprised! It was money well spent and I am very happy to say sounds GREAT and fills the room with sound. Once again, BestBuy comes through with quality and price. Also this "Old Man" was able to install with very little effort.

Posted .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,
