    Sub cuts out/disconnects

    I have owned this for just under a year. For the price, quality is exceptional. I love the sound when it works together. Sound bar is connected via Optical. Every 2-5 minutes(no exaggeration) the subwoofer cuts out intermittently, green light blinks as an indication of attempted reconnection. I have followed Sony’s instructions to reset and ‘fix the issue’, however, does not fix the issue. Very irritating. Considering switching brands as I’ve had better experiences with less commonly known brands..

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Hi BaileyKilgore,

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we sincerely appreciate your kind words about the exceptional sound quality of the HT-S400 when it's performing as expected. We are genuinely sorry to hear about the frustrating issue you are experiencing with the intermittent subwoofer connection.

      We want to ensure you get the seamless, powerful sound you deserve. Since the basic reset has not resolved this persistent issue, we strongly recommend allowing our dedicated technical support team to conduct a more in-depth diagnostic. They have advanced tools and knowledge to explore potential wireless interference, firmware issues, or other factors that might be causing the subwoofer to drop its connection.

      Please contact our specialists through the link below so they can walk you through further, advanced troubleshooting and work towards a permanent solution:

      We value you as a customer and are committed to resolving this so you can enjoy your home theater setup without interruption.

      Thank you for considering Sony!

      Regards,

    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,
