Good quality but hard to mount
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound and easy to use with TV. I was frustrated with options for mounting it beneath the TV on a pull-down mounting rack--there were no good options. The case is designed to be mounted only in a fixed position on the wall or on a table top; I had to jury rig the mounting on the moveable rack.

Posted .Hi ThomasP, We apologize for any inconvenience. When connected to a BRAVIA TV with Acoustic Centre Sync, both the soundbar and the TV become the centre speaker in your home cinema system. Furthermore, connecting the soundbar with optional wireless rear speakers2, the TV speaker plays the centre channel role with your soundbar as part of the 360 Spatial Sound Mapping setup. This enables sound to precisely match what’s on the screen for clearer dialogue and a more immersive experience.
The HT-A3000 immerses you in authentic surround sound with a centre speaker for clear dialogue and a built-in dual subwoofer for impressive power. With optional rear speakers it supports 360 Spatial Sound Mapping too, so you can lose yourself in your favorite movies, TV shows and music.
Thanks for choosing Sony. Jay
Great Sound for Stand-alone Audio
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The 3d audio, depth of bass, and crispness that this soundbar has is continuing to impress me during movies and while I game. We'll eventually add subwoofers, but this unit is great as a stand-alone audio setup, and is more than loud enough gor our use. Only gripe may be some of the UI is a little co fusing at first, and the remote can feel redundant if paired with a Sony TV

Easy surround sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound and set-up are superb. More depth of sound than my old M-series VISIO. Tried to send me a refrubished/returned soundbar but took back for another, no problem, but it never should have happened.

Sony subwoofer
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Rich full sound and great volume. It will sound better with a subwoofer. I will add that I haven't liked Sony products for over 25 years. I listened to my salesman, took his recommendation and was pleasantly surprised!

The Good & The Bad
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product is very nice; however, I’m still unsure what happened with the first soundbar setup. After roughly a week or so following the initial install, the soundbar started to malfunction (e.g., disconnect from the tv, turn on randomly when the tv was off, etc.). I contacted Best Buy several times to report the issues & soon was informed there were issues upon initial soundbar install (e.g., missing cords, no remote, etc.). I do wish the Best Buy crew doing the initial install had been forthcoming & would have made me aware of the issues from the start, but they sadly did not. After a few wks & multiple calls, the soundbar has been replaced with a new one which seems to be working well. Overall…very satisfied with the product but extremely disappointed that the crew performing the initial soundbar install did not tell me of the issues. The gentleman performing the most recent install of the replacement soundbar, however, was fantastic.
