Works as expected
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is clear, the stereo separation is good. The bass sounds surprisingly deep considering it’s an internal subwoofer within this unit. Sounds really good for the basic model that it is and the price is right.

HT-A3000
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I actually can’t speak to the sound bar because i didn’t receive all the components to make it work. We bought the sound bar along with a new Sony 55” TV. Due to construction going on at the house it was 78 days after the purchase date to do the install. (I purchased early as i didn’t want to miss the sale price on the TV.) Upon opening the box it was evident i got a return. There were several empty plastic bags, remote was loose with batteries already installed. The show stopper is there is no HDMI cable, although instructions clearly say its included. I did have a bag labled “HDMI Cable” but it was empty. I called Best Buy and requested to return this one in exchange for one with all the components. Their reply was that im out of the return window. Sorry for your luck. So, I’m done with Best Buy. I had a $1,000 item on order, so i cancelled that and I’ll just buy it from Amazon. When she ended the conversation with “Thank you for being a loyal Best Buy customer, my reply was “Don’t thank me, I’m no longer a customer. My advice is to always open the box before leaving the store, even if it appears unopend as this one did. Although the box was prestine, it had obviously been opened and all components not returned. So, I have no option but to go buy a HDMI cable and hope it works. Not even an offer to supply me with a cable!

Easy to set up
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A great sound bar and easy to set up. I have a Sony Bravia TV and the sync was practically immediate. Our sound is so good and we got a good Black Friday deal so felt like we didn’t overspend.

Added the sub also
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought the 2.1 system but never opened the box and switched to the 3.1 and bought the subwoofer as well instead. Only complaint is the sound level has to be way higher with this system than with the regular tv prior to adding the sound bar. Like 3 or 4 times higher.

Posted .Hello BruceM,
Thank you for the 5-star rating! The sound volume will depend in the source that you're playing. Live and breathe your favourite 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!

I should've returned it
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It disconnects often or doesnt turn on at all with my Sony A80L. I have zero faith that I'll have sound when I power up my tv. I'm past the return period. Dont make my mistake. Also the "tv center speaker mode" creates an annoying ground loop hum that is a known issue with Sony customer service. But Sony wont replace or fix it. The sound with the sub is good but it doesnt matter when a product is this unreliable. I've gone through the troubleshooting links.

Posted .Hi JonH,
While we're glad you like the easy installation of the unit, we are sorry to hear if you find the HT-A3000 doesn't get very loud. Verify if it happens from all sources such as apps in the TV, USB or Bluetooth. If not, it may be an issue with the source. If you haven't yet, please follow the steps below
- By pressing SOUND FIELD to turn on the surround effect, the speaker system upmixes audio signals, and sound is output from all speakers.
- Increase the volume of the Soundbar using the remote control.
- Turn off the Night Mode setting. On the Soundbar remote control, press the NIGHT button to turn off the Night Mode setting.
