Had to exchange it for a new one. The first one we could not hear voices very well. We did all the cable switching and remote options. We had a lot better voice audio after the exchange.

You can now enjoy all your favorite movies and programs with clear audio. The HTA3000 has three front speakers including a center channel, and a powerful built-in dual subwoofer for clear dialogue and authentic surround sound. Using the soundbar alone, you’ll experience authentic 3.1 channel surround sound with S-Force PRO Front Surround and Vertical Surround Engine. Or you can add optional rear speakers to enjoy 360 Spatial Sound Mapping with multiple phantom speakers. Thank you for choosing Sony! - Marco

Descent Soundbar

I purchased a Sony 70 inch Bravia series over the summer; sales rep told me how the sound comes thru the screen and eventually if probably like a Soundbar; I noticed when watching TV I would turn volume up to 25-30 to hear across living room. I shopped around and found this one in store. It’s more than I wanted to spend even on sale but is compatible with the TV. I tried installing myself but apparently had it connected wrong. Once it was hooked up correctly it worked well. My only complaint is I feel like I’m doing the same I did with the TV by having to nearly max out the volume to hear dialogue. Sound is descent but I’m having to set on 35-40 to hear dialogue. Glad I didn’t get a subwoofer and upset neighbors.
Hi eiProfessional, Good to hear that you are enjoying your new soundbar. The HT-A3000 3.1ch soundbar has three front speakers including a center speaker designed for clear dialogue, and a built-in dual subwoofer for deep bass. With Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force PRO Front Surround technology, the sound comes from all around you, maximizing the effects of Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X. Thank you for choosing Sony. Erin

Kind of lack luster the sub and speaker don't like to stay connected or come back on when the TV does.
Hi CalebA, thank you for sharing your experience with the Sony - HTA3000! We're genuinely sorry to hear that the subwoofer and speakers are not staying connected and are not turning on when your TV does. We understand how frustrating this can be and is certainly not the experience we want for our customers. Here are some useful steps you can try to resolve it:
1- Power reset your Soundbar and Television: You need to turn off both devices from the power for 2 minutes and then plug them back in
2- Make sure your soundbar has the latest software version: Press Home on your Soundbar remote > select setup > advanced settings > software update > follow the on-screen instructions to update
3- Enable control for HDMI: Go to setup > advanced settings > HDMI settings > control for HDMI > turn on. This setting will allow the Speaker system to turn on when the TV does as long as you're using an HDMI connection between the TV and the soundbar
4- Reset the Speaker system: If the speaker still does not operate properly, reset it. You can do this by pressing and holding down the power and - (volume) on the bar speaker for more than 5 seconds
Finally if none of these steps worked and you require further help, please contact our technical support team through the link below:
Hi Abraham, Thanks for sharing such a wonderful shopping experience. We're glad you are enjoying the amazing sound quality and it works great with your Sony TV. Good to know that the combination of superior video quality and great sound improves your home theater experience. You’re now able to enjoy immersive, engaging cinematic experience in your home. Live and breathe your favorite movies, TV shows, and music with the HT-A3000. Using the soundbar alone, you’ll experience authentic 3.1 channel surround sound with S-Force PRO Front Surround and Vertical Surround Engine. Or you can add optional rear speakers to enjoy 360 Spatial Sound Mapping with multiple phantom speakers. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess

I purchased this sound bar after seeing that it was on sale and read a few reviews about. I also own another Sony sound bar and have been quite happy with my other sound bar. So I figured this sound bar would sound almost as well as my other one. Boy was I wrong this soundbar was night and day from the other soundbar. It was difficult to hear people talking on even with there voice enhancement feature turned. Voices came almost muffled and the background sound would almost drown out voices. It also would not pair with an older set of surround sound speakers even though those speakers were less than two years old. They are Sony speakers one would think that they would pair with this Sony sound bar. I personally was not interested in purchasing more speakers when I had a perfectly good pair that should have been able to use. About the only good thing with this soundbar is it does look decent. I ended up returning it and purchasing another brand soundbar. I would not recommend this product at all. Sound is horrible, can't use existing speakers I own already and the power cord is pretty short as well.
Hi Havoc, We regret to hear that the soundbar had to be returned. This definitely not the news we'd like to hear from and experience we'd like you to have. We do have troubleshooting steps to help resolve the problem. For future references, please check the Help Guide: https://helpguide.sony.net/ht/a3000/v1/en/index.html
For enhanced listening, you have options: Our subwoofers (SA-SW3 and SA-SW5) and rear speaker sets (SA-RS3S or SA-RS5) are designed to expand your listening experience—just power them on and they pair automatically with your soundbar.
We value your opinion and rest assured that we'll take note of your feedback as it helps in improving our products.
We hope you'll consider Sony in your future purchase. Regards, Erin

A waste of my time. I was told it would work any Sony tv out of the box. Wrong.
I needed an optic coupler wire i had to supply. It did not adapt to my Sony 85" wall mounted tv which is very difficult to access the rear wiring. In the end I would need the remote unit supplied to control on/off and sound. Another remote, no thanks. I returned the sound bar. A lot of work for nothing. Misled by the salesman. Unhappy.
Hi FredP, we regret to hear that the soundbar had to be returned. We are also sorry to hear about your shopping experience.
