    Not as impressed by this sound bar as others we’ve had in the past. Not sure if it was the installation or the bar itself, but you have to turn up the TV volume to clearly hear and for some reason the volume number on the TV is twice what the sound bar shows.

    I bought these speakers with my new SONY television. The sound output is excellent. The only issue was the setup took a bit longer than I anticipated. The wiring instructions were not as straight forward as I had hoped, which resulted in some time to understand exactly what needed to be done. If this was more clear... I would have given 5 stars.

    Good sound but has been harder to sync with my Sony tv than it should be. Sometimes it turns on with the tv and other times it doesn’t and I can’t figure out why. The main reason I got this was the ability to better hear the voices without having to turn it up too loud and I am very pleased with it for that alone.

      Hi Sblank,

      Thank you so much for the 4-stars review and for sharing your experience with our Z9F Dolby Atmos soundbar. With max 7.1.2 surround sound and our Vertical Surround Engine technology, you can enjoy the latest 3D audio formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X – with virtual surround sound that seems to come from all around you. It has eARC support to allow you to enjoy Dolby Atmos from your compatible streaming providers, bringing a cinematic experience to your home.

      We are sorry if you are having an issue syncing this soundbar to your Sony TV. The issue you experienced may be resolved by resetting the BRAVIA Sync function between the TV and the soundbar. You will need to go into the menu of the TV and get to the BRAVIA Sync settings. Clear out any devices paired and turn the feature off. Then, disconnect the HDMI cable between the soundbar and TV from both products. Unplug both the TV and soundbar from the power outlet for 1 minute and plug them back in. Reconnect the HDMI cable between the products and enable BRAVIA Sync. You should have audio connections re-established.

      If the problem is still occurring, please follow the steps provided on this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/home-theater-sound-bars-home-theater-systems/ht-z9f/articles/00012569.

      Should you need more assistance, please send us an email at [email protected] so we can better assist you. Apologies if you disclosed some of this information in your review and to customer service, we just want to ensure that we have your accurate details at the time of communication.
